Tentacle Lunch

This betenticled, canned, whole-squid lunch could be something out of Naked Lunch, but it's par for the course for your hapless ¥100 store adventurer of a blogger.



And no, I don't recommend this. There's still beak chunks in it.

Oronamin C

First off, a video of mine. You don't have to watch the whole thing (it's about me being an extra in Takashi Miike's Zebraman 2, so you may like it after all), but know that the audio from a scene from a movie, Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl, plays over the end. You'll have to rent the movie to see the actual scene, but it really peaked my interest back in 2004 or so. What is that? I had to find out.


So this post (as threatened) is about the Oronamin C poster the characters talk about . Here it be:



And there are many more C posters here. As to the goofy man, he is Ōmura Kon. So to finish you off, here are some of his TV spots for the drink (note that it is marketed as some kind of health or sports drink). It's not as cool without the hat though.

Hopeless Romantic Album Now Accessible

You may have noticed if you tried to click-zoom on any of the recent mobile posts' images that the functionality was locked. This was a necessary step to give me time to remove my dwarf porn*. Now it's cleaned up and ready for the public. You can even see images from post I removed, like my failed tries at the 200 bad comics challenge and comment on them.

J Life Pic: Fiber Cola

I got a surprise the other night at the 7-11: Diet Coke with fiber added. It's not regular coke, but it keeps you regular. Oh, that was bad. I promise I won't dump such a crappy joke on you again.


In case you missed it, I vlogged a taste test of Coke's last special flavor.

Spreading the Silly Dance Love

Fukuoka's cutest Canuk (Ciaela) and her friend made this video for a contest. So if you click through to YouTube, don't watch the related videos, because hits decide the winner.
I recognize this song, probably from my time in nearby Saga-ken.


Ciaela, I expect a chunk of the prize money ;-)

Pics from Japan: Halloween Lesson

This scary devil is me. I'm with about 30 kids (+parents) and we are trick or treating at a few designated spots. It made for a fun, one time gig. More pics to come in a video on my youtubes.



Wat? Tinsel is teh scary yos.

Ueto Aya Has a Drinking Problem

An Oronamin C drinking problem.



Poor Aya-kun messes up at work and halucinates about posters coming to life. Time for another swig of that special C. At least it didn't make her revert to a perverted form of adolescence like Fantaro.

Okay, the deal is I've been wanting to make a post all about Oronamin C for a while now. But this is not that post. Stay tuned for future postings...
