Diverging Paths

"告他們把腦袋吃掉." "Eat the head!"

OMG. This is the most inventive use of LEDs and sheep ever. Ain't technology grand?

"OBama O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara. There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama..."

I love those mad fiends at Improv Everywhere. Their crazy antics are always good for a workday laugh.

Take their Food Court Musical smack dab in the middle of downtown LA.



Thanks to dragonblink for sending me this. I'll never take a napkin for granted again. Can I get a napkin, please?

Huh. There seems to be a definite theme to my spam this morning. In order, starting sometime around 1am:

Christmas pleasure
The blue pill will bring harmony to your bedroom
Get shocked with length increase
Christmas night

Give your lady crazy enjoyment
You can drill ladies better
Get amazing buildup
Your powerful uprise will excite women

I'm thinking of setting it to music...

Freaking hilarious! Every so often, PETA comes up with something so asinine, it reaches a glorious level of unintended comedy. I was well and truly entertained. Mmm... Tasty tasty murder...

Time for another BBQ!

I didn't go. (^o^)

But, so many of you did, I though I'd share these pics my friend Manny took. Enjoy.

Edit: (12:08:080208) Aww... Piccies not up anymore. =b

Frisbee was bitchin' today, as always.

Because sometimes cute is the only thing that'll get you through a day.

Facebook Gangsta!

I've been reading Philip Pullman's the Golden Compass (aka Northern Lights). I now want to be a panserbjorn. Only in my case, it'd be a panderbjorn. Panserpanderbjorn!



I'd be cute, cuddly, and damn near unstoppable.

How can you not give this guy mad props? More importantly, how does this car not flip over when it's windy? This has to violate some traffic safety code somewhere.

War on Asians? Riiiiight. Boy obviously forgot about our awesome kung-fu ninja skillz, ability to leap onto roofs, and magical mecha transformations powers. Bringing a net to hunt for Asians is like bringing an adding machine to a calculus test. We will DDR stomp your ass into the ground, beeeeyotch!

ninjafuzz, isn't that your alma mater?

I was washing the dishes last night when my personal cell phone and the land line both started ringing at the same time. It was waldensian and theoni with the same weird question.

Waldensian: "What's a harsmar?"

Me: "You mean a Mars bar?"

Waldensian: "No. A harsmar. Spelled the way it sounds. Double-boiled in coconut."

Me: "Umm... Can you give me some context?"

Waldensian: "We're at a [Chinese sweets shop] and they're selling 'harsmar'. It's all over the menu."

Me: "I have no freakin' clue. Crack addicts."

Waldensian: "You call yourself Chinese and a food blogger and you don't even know what harsmar is?"

Me: "I usually read the Chinese characters instead of trying to deal with Chinese-fucked-up English. Can you describe them to me?"

Waldensian: [with what Japanese he remembered from college] "I think the first character is snow. Can't help you on the second one."

Me: "Dude. I don't know."

waldensian tried to take a picture of the sign with his camera phone and send it to my phone, but neither he nor theoni were successful. I finished washing the dishes, then decided to do a little research online because the mystery of the silly question was still bugging me.

Hasma:

"Hasma is a Chinese dessert ingredient made from the dried fallopian tubes of the hermaphrodite frog Rana temporaria chensinensis, also commonly known as the snow frog or forest frog. Hasma is often mistakenly described as toad or frog fat, since it is sometimes referred to as 'toad oil' in Chinese.

Hasma is sold dried as irregular flat pieces and flakes ranging from 1-2 cm in length and 1-5 mm in thickness. Individual pieces are yellowish-white in colour with a matte lustre, whose surface may be covered with off-white pellicles. When rehydrated, dried hasma can expand up to 10-15 times in size.

The dried hasma is rehydrated and double-boiled with rock sugar to create a glutinous texture and opaque color. Dried or rehydrated hasma has a slight fishy smell. In its unflavoured form it is sweet and slightly savory in taste with a texture that is glutinous, chewy, and light, very similar to that of tapioca in a dessert."

I couldn't figure out what it was because I was more familiar with the Mandarin name, Há Mǎ Yóu. In any case, it's good stuff. Anyone brave enough to try it?

theoni made me my very own syndicated LiveJournal feed for my food blog with his magic pants. Hooray!

I wish I had magic pants.
