Wait, where's rickrolling?

This is very weird. I saw two sandwich boarders dressed as the Statue of Liberty. For two different stores. On the opposite sides of town. And now... this.

OH! And I saw a bumper sticker that said "LIBERTY > EQUALITY"!!!

AAAAAGH!

The first time I was in Japan I did a spent two weeks working on a family farm as part of a language emersion thing. One day the grandmother went out to a bees nest and I thought, oh, she's getting honey. No, she was getting the bee larva to fry up and eat with a little soy sauce.

Of course everyone's heard the story from people who've been through basic training of how they were dropped in the middle of Branson, Missouri, and had nothing to eat but maggots. Larva are rich in protein I understand.

And about the "brown people" thing, one word: haggis. Discussing things that are "exotic" to you does not make one a racist.

Also, the rest of the farm family thought grandma was a little weird, too.

The Japanese for the sound is "puchi-puchi!" They probably have a special counter for hemispheres full of air.

I'll always remember a metro ride in DC back in the late '80s. I kept hearing this snapping sound and I finally turned around and there was this dude at the end of the car incessantly popping a big sheet of these suckers. For half an hour.

As a side note, the pickup line they used was later used as the only words in the 2003 pop hit "Would You...?" by Touch and Go.

(I'm assuming the author means it when he writes "exact words" and is not glibly pulling them from the song.)
