Pizza Hut’s 3-Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza is soooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooood…

Forums are all about dogpiling on people, which is why I typically don’t read them, but Hai linked me to a pretty funny thread, and here it is.

You only wish you had TrueFlava.

But, you know, I couldn’t come up with anything else, because my mind was blown by the sex.

From Mari’s blog.

Directions: List 10 celebrities that you find attractive (in no particular order) and then tag 5 of your friends.

Um. Okay. Hot celebs. Here we go…

1. Richard Dean Anderson
2. Ayumi Hamasaki [Edit 6:30 pm: Sorry Ayu, but I just remembered that Cillian Murphy is uberhawt.]
3. Angelina Jolie
4. Uma Thurman
5. Bruce Willis
6. Drew Barrymore
7. Halle Berry

Am I just in the wrong mood for this or something? Surely I find more people hot…let’s see…

8. Famke Janssen

Umm…can I include people who used to be hot? Because if so,

9. Jennifer Aniston
10. Courteney Cox

Bleh, I’m feeling extraordinarily uninterested in my list. Maybe because I had mind-blowing sex with the hottest man on the planet last night…

I’ve been reading the Miyakonojo archives, and there is all kinds of good stuff in there, but I just came across this extraordinarily well crafted sentence (part of this post) and wanted to share it:

She always has exactly one can of beer each evening, like clockwork, always pouring about a third of it into a separate glass that goes to the butsudan so the spirits of those no longer with us can also catch a buzz.

Eventually my day will be nothing but reading Japan blogs. That day may not actually be too far off.

Today JP at Japundit linked to Miyakonojo, the blog of Miklos Fejer, an EFL teacher in Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture.

(JP’s post is hilarious, by the way; it includes the following: “Jack [Bauer] has been appearing in a Japanese TV commercial … for Calorie Mate, a bland cookie that’s packed with all the vitamins and minerals that a tough CTU operative needs to replenish energy used up by jumping out of helicopters as he barks into his cell phone.”)

Miklos’ blog is funny and interesting (as you might have expected), so I’m subscribing (as if you couldn’t figure that out). Here’s a memorable quote from a post about a headache:

A suppository.

“For a headache?” I asked. “It’s not me arse that’s the problem, it’s me noggin’!”

Yeah, she says, it’ll cure you right up.

But the look on my face told her I wasn’t going for it.

“I’ll do it for you,” she says, patting me on the knee and giving me a reassuring look and then went back to her chicken.

I had many questions for her. Why do they make headache medicine in suppository form? Why did she have it on her? Why did she think I would be happier having her give it to me than doing my own self?

It reminded me of the time I ate that curry in Taipei and David London, the kind man that he is, bought me some “special” medicines which I had to politely decline, but the whole thing backfired on me when a doctor at the San Joaquin County Hospital decided to give me a rectal exam and then a nurse walked in mid-way and you don’t want to know how that story ended and jeez for the love of God doesn’t anybody have an aspirin?!

XD

BoingBoing linked to a couple of articles about a monkey biting a drive-thru girl in Morehead, Kentucky. Only they spelled it Moorhead.

It seems like BoingBoing misspelled the name of another Kentucky city not too long ago, but I can’t remember which. Either way, it’s annoying. I mean, the correct spelling is right there, in both articles.

I don’t think they are maliciously trying to make Kentucky seem unimportant by misspelling the names of its cities…but that’s the result. It just seems like they don’t think Kentucky is worthy of spell-checking. “Oh, well, no one knows where Moorhead is, anyway…”

[Update 4:37 pm: Hey! They fixed it! At approximately 2:16 pm, it would seem. Yay!]

This is too funny not to share. A Raleigh messageboard took advantage of the snow day business closings submission procedure of its local news station and got some pretty bad stuff put on live TV! Here’s somebody’s blog post about it, and here’s the original messageboard thread.

My favorite is the very first picture on the blog :D

I read all my news through Bloglines, which occasionally will tell me if someone has linked to an article I’m reading. Joe Stump linked to that BoingBoing article I mentioned in the previous post; his hilarious and right-on-target commentary is right here.

This guy is pretty sharp and funny. I think I’ll subscribe!

I’ll give it to you in Cory Doctorow’s conspiracy-theory martyr writing style:

Surfcontrol.com is a censorware site that blocks parts of the Internet that it considers to be offensive, of an adult nature, or “inappropriate” for some reason or another. They have currently listed this site as an “adult website.” I just got off the phone with a manager at SurfControl, who assures me that they’ve corrected the error, but that it will take 24h for the fix to take hold. During that period, users of Surfcontrol’s paying customers will be walled off from Boing Boing the same way that Chinese and Iranian citizens are prevented from seeing parts of the Internet due to the judgements of unaccountable authorities in those countries.

OH NOES! Somebody at Surfcontrol.com must have seen all those Xeni posts! Quick, let’s pretend she doesn’t post illicit, NSFW images all the freaking time. Yes, BoingBoing is as pure as the driven snow! I can’t believe they got censored! Oh the humanity!

First it was Tom Hanks, and now it’s Tom Cruise. Who’s lined up to be the next Totally Overused Man?

NASA’s Deep Impact probe will (hopefully) smash into comet Tempel 1 on July 4, (hopefully) giving scientists their first glimpse of primordial space dust.

Grammier has likened it to standing in the middle of the road and being hit by a semi-truck going 23,000 mph – “you know, just bam!” The energy produced by the crash will be like detonating nearly 5 tons of TNT.

Man, I love NASA.

Something about the idea of cracking open an ancient comet to reveal the building blocks of the universe kind of puts me on edge, though. I’m sure there’s a great science fiction story in there somewhere.

And who knows…maybe

Voice of Winnie the Pooh’s Tigger dies

Cat-ear spoilers.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has signed off on an order to remove the blue drapes John Ashcroft had ordered to cover two “scantily-clad” statues at the Justice Department.

In the past, snagging a photo of the attorney general in front of the statues has been somewhat of a sport for photographers.

When former Attorney General Edwin Meese released a report on pornography in the 1980s, photographers dived to the floor to capture the image of him raising the report in the air, with the partially nude female statue behind him.

This is pretty hilarious. It’s funny just how far some people go with their desire to remove sexuality from everyday life.

We should all go to the Asuka Onda Festival.
