Soup’s On!

Quiz: what kind of cuisine are you?

Hahahahahahahahaha! Bingo!

You Are Japanese Food

Strange yet delicious.
Contrary to popular belief, you’re not always eaten raw.
[raincoaster sez: Sigh. How did they know?]

Thirsty?

I bought some of the most interesting tea from Ten Ren the other day: lychee ball jasmine tea. I didn’t even know lychees had balls, let alone such big ones! And it’s beautifully Cthulhoid once it’s been steeped. The damn tentacles even writhe as if in pain! It’s like watching Jacques Cousteau’s Adventures in R’lyeh [...]

Little Gordon Ramsay

Awwwww, isn’t Little Gordon here adorable? A chip off the old blockhead! If Cthulhu and I ever had a love/hatefuck child, he’d turn out just like this, I’m sure.

You can watch all three videos over at TeenyManolo, yo.

Oktapodi: a cephalopod love story

Big Dee Dee Not Home Free!

Canadians from Port Alberni to the Bay of Fundy have been riveted by the tale of Big Dee Dee, a rare LOUS or Lobster of Unusual Size.
Indeed, at a strapping ten kilos and old enough to vote in human elections, Big Dee Dee was unquestionably the king (or queen…I didn’t look that closely, I must [...]

Quiz: What Condiment Are You?

Well, phonically this goes very well with the previous quiz, although the literal-minded such as myself will note that it’s not really a good match.
Still, accurate!

You Are Hot Sauce

You are the life of any party, because you’re so good at bringing people out of their shell.
You have a knack for helping people happily embrace their [...]

The South Atlantic Oceanic Bulldog Discovered!

It’s only Tuesday and it’s already proving to be perhaps the most historic week in bulldog history since Karsh took that classic portrait.
Only a few days ago this blog broke news of the rediscovery of the lost French Plaid Bulldog or Le Bouledogue Français Écossais, and now comes news of a new Bulldog Breakthrough, this [...]

when chickens go bad

Longtime fans of the ol’ raincoaster blog will recall the somewhat…epic consequences of a bad oyster. There is, presumably, no need for us to go there again, even from the comforting distance of the far end of a laparoscope. Given the devastating effect that only a small invertebrate can have, a simple act of extrapolation [...]

Ten-Tentacle Treats!

Ah, who doesn’t love finger foods? With my birthday just a wee tad over one slim month away, I’ve been looking around for suitable refreshments for my Friki Tiki birthday party (goth/tiki, you’re all invited! Bring booze!) And here we have just the thing: first up, Lochmann’s caramel-filled cuttlefish from Dr Boli’s smorgasbord of demented [...]
