Title: WTF, Japan?
Post by: J. Walter Weatherman on July 28, 2010, 07:46:02 PM
Because they're letting Murton hit .352 and weird shit is their national pastime...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kancho

QuoteKancho (カンチョー kanchō) is a prank often played in Japan; it is performed by clasping the hands together so the index fingers are pointing out and attempting to insert them sharply into someone's anal region when the victim is not looking. It is similar to the wedgie or a goosing, although, as compared to kancho, the former mentioned acts do not involve physical contact which is quite as intimate or direct. A Kancho is often executed simultaneously as the offending party loudly emphasizes the second syllable of "Kan-CHO!" In scandinavia this is commonly known as, "a rasmus."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boong-Ga_Boong-Ga

QuoteBoong-Ga Boong-Ga (Japanese: 浣腸ゲームkanchō geemu), also known as Spank 'em, is an arcade game developed by South Korean company Taff System. It is the first arcade game to simulate kancho, a children's prank popular in Japan where the victim is poked with two fingers in the anal region whilst distracted.

Because Matt Murton just broke Ichiro Suzuki's record for most hits (http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/10/05/1858139/murton-breaks-ichiros-japan-hits.html) in a single season of Japanese Professional Baseball.

Quote
The 29-year-old Murton has 211 hits this season for the Hanshin Tigers. Suzuki, now playing for the Mariners, had 210 back in 1994 for the Orix BlueWave. Murton is expected to re-sign with his Japanese club this winter rather than test the free agent waters in Major League Baseball.

I'm not sure that I can fully express what's going on in my head right now, so I shall begin at the beginning. I bought a kabocha squash, and I have a fair amount of ham. What to do, what to do? The usual.

I ran into this:

(http://bentozen.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/bento-160.jpg)

OK, whatever. I know that kids' bento is some sort of competitive activity in Japan. Jordan almonds made out of "fish sausage," great. But, I'm a sucker for food photography. Sure enough, it gets weirder:

(http://bentozen.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/bento-164.jpg)

There's a "vegetarian meatball" in the center of the Trilogy of Terror Sno Ball, it is noted. Now, this is competent English, so I'm wondering where this presumable expat's head is at. And I read. And I realize something: This is not an expat. This is not a person making cute lunches for a child. This is a lawyer living in Manhattan who makes these things for her own lunch. I can only wonder whether she manufactures some sort of surprise when revealing her treats to herself.

(http://bentozen.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/bento-150.jpg)

(Tomatoes seem always to be in season in Bentoville.)

I mean, look, this is fucked up. It's like sending yourself birthday cards.

(http://bentozen.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/bento-1421.jpg)

And that's all I have, except for the squash and the ham.

[Edit.--Why, yes, there is a Kurt-themed precious lunch explosion. Thanks for asking.]

A Hong Kong shipping tycoon has reportedly offered a HK$500 million ($65 million) "marriage bounty" for her lesbian daughter.

33-year-old Gigi Chao married her female partner earlier this year and that apparently didn't sit well with her father.

Cecil Chao is offering the cash to any man who can capture Gigi's heart, the South China Morning Post reported.

Curious what you're missing out on though? "In these snacks the cheese powder has been replaced with a cola powder that is disturbingly not brown," writes a taste-tester from The Impulsive Buy, whose review includes photos of the product, for those who'd like a visual. "The first sensation, which I did not expect, was a very acidic bite. It's very citrusy, almost sour. And it hits hard. It tries to capture the citrus notes of Pepsi, but it's over the top. Too lemony." He also adds that the puffy little snacks "fizz a little" when you chew. "It's all about attention to detail, guys. I tip my hat to Frito-Lay for that one."

See--I had assumed that those were Larry O'Brien trophies on their heads (and "the game" in question was the NBA Finals).  Now I hope you understand why I was so confused.

Now that I know that it's the World Cup  I....well I'm still confused but at least i know it's not basketball.
