I found this video about 3 or 4 years ago and thought it was amazing.  Then it disappeared.  But it’s BACK!!

Witness the glory:

WHICH… mothafucka stole his flow?

For years now I’ve been telling people about this awesome performance from the Japanese rock/rap/funk girl-group Cibo Matto (Italian for Crazy Food) I saw on the short lived MTV show, Squirt TV. Well, I finally realized it’s probably readily available on YouTube, so I searched for it. Lo and behold!

Cibo Matto - Know Your Chicken (live)
Featuring Sean Lennon on bass.

For the curious, here are the lyrics:

And, as a bonus, here’s a short video of them playing Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun behind the credits:

I’m pretty sure my penis will never work again after that.

Nice knowin’ ya, Li’l Willie!  It’s been fun.

Let me begin by saying, what the fuck is up with Anime? They’re the Japanese equivalent of American sit-coms; dubious quality, 8 bazillion of them, hardcore followers, and the good ones are few and far between. But at least in America no one goes to conventions dressed as Chandler and Elaine. With a culture and history as rich and fascinating as the Japanese, why, OH FUCKING WHY do all the Aspergers kids seem to be drawn to the VERY WORST of Japan? It’d be like Japanese people dressing up like fat suburban cowboys with Confederate flags (don’t give them any ideas).

When I was an awkward nerd, I LOVED all things Star Trek. But I was bright enough to keep most of that to myself. Sure, everyone knew I was a Trekkie, there was no hiding it. But you wouldn’t find me in a Captain Kirk costume (except for that one Halloween) because I knew I would be the subject of ridicule. I mean, good for these people for sticking with what they love, no matter what others may think or say. But with that attitude, they have given me tacit permission to speak daggers at them. What a bunch of hygienically challenged nerdlingers!!

So, check out Cosplay Train Wrecks for more of this lamentable subset of American youth.

We toss around the terms “son of a bitch” and “motherfucker” on a nearly constant basis.  Rarely does it occur to us that these terms aren’t universal.  Nor are they that creative.  It turns out that insulting someone is a very uniquely regional enterprise, and we’re just phoning it in.

Take a look at some insults from around the world.

Back to Thailand for this. Kittiwat Unarrom, son of a baker, has turned his dad’s trade into a macabre art form: disturbingly realistic looking body parts sculpted in dough and then baked into bread. These creepy comestibles are packaged and sold like ordinary baked goods in his studio/bakery/morgue.

If you think the heads are bad, wait until you see the feet (in the video).

The one on the left looks a lot like my ex-wife’s Uncle Dick from Iowa, but with better teeth.
