You do not need to understand Japanese to love this video I stole from Japanprobe. It’s two anime nerds (otaku) facing down two bullies, Final Fantasy style. The reading of the scroll is particularly moving, I must say, and the stylistic violence is reminiscent of early Peckinpah although the unconventional heros evoke Tony Ching Siu-tung‘s more humorous masterpieces.

Another video from apeman, the twisted Canuckistani genius who brought Hinterland’s Who’s Who’s Crack Spider into being.
Again, I’m sticking the video and lyrics over the jump because I was told that it was kinder to the people on dialup and also because I hope this way I won’t have to do a bloody restart every time my cache fills up.

I’m sure that this question is keeping you awake nights. “Am I more nutty or dry? Fragrant or just pungent?” you doubtless mutter to the dark spaces between the stars as you lie abed, consumed with existential dread and the faint aroma of the dairy products you inadvisedly consumed in the search for knowledge, even though you are lactose intolerant.
How, O Lord! How can we go on without knowing what verdict the Online Cheese Comparator will render?
Your cheese rating is: Neufchâtel
A traditional soft, white table cheese from Normandy in France. Neufchâtel smells and tastes of mushrooms. It has a dry, velvety rind, and a grainy texture. When mature, Neufchâtel develops a bitter, salty, acrid taste.
Well fuck that ridiculous Online Cheese Comparator, then! It’s obviously completely inaccurate and can’t tell a mellow, non-fungal-scented, soft and gentle soul when it runs one through its cheese-identity-detector algorithm.
Harumph!

Third in our Beaver Shots photographic series.
You would be amazed at the really old beaver hanging around Parliament Hill. Click on to view, if that’s your thing…

Click to go to the pic on the page, size queens! Another entry in Amy Sedaris’ Googly Eyes on Food contest; this is from the same demented yet talented mind that brought you Shoggoth in a Tube. Personally, I think this, which didn’t even place, is a much finer example of the g-e-o-f principle than the ultimate weiner winner. I mean, who among us hasn’t made a weiner octopus already, I mean really, eh? But have you ever had the creativity and inspiration to make a severed unicorn head out of a garlic clove, and if you have, would it have occurred to you to set up a dramatic tableau referencing the immortal silent classic film Nosferatu?
I ask you that!
