Tuna Eye for the Gaijin Guy

This just screams “EAT ME!”

“I was at the grocery store and I got the urge to eat something new. I looked around and I didn’t really see much until I found a food that could look back. It was only a hundred yen, which is less than a buck, so I figured I’d give it a whirl. It had a sticker on it that said that it should be cooked, but I didn’t really know how to cook it. I tried to find stuff online, but there aren’t a lot of English webpages devoted to eating fish eyes, so I just decided to boil it.”

Tineye helped track the source of that image of culinary goodness. Jesse hunts for awesome things to eat, eats them and describes the experience.

Update 3 May 2010: This just in from Planet Ross – a matching set!

Now we can watch Avatar in 3D through fish eye lenses! Yay!



“I AM NOT A PEPPER! I AM A FREE CHILI!”

Purists don’t refer to fruits of the Capsecum family as peppercorns. So there.

Giant Isopod! Yay!

These pups live in the deep, scrounging around in the darkness for rotted detritus, and occasionally they are captured on trawling lines. The one in the picture is about 2-1/2 feet long  and was found clinging to a submarine returning from an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. They’re related to common pillbugs, wood lice and lawn shrimp. Wikipiddlia has this:

“In northern Taiwan and other areas, they are common at seaside restaurants, served boiled and bisected with a clean lateral slice. The white meat, similar to crab or lobster in texture, is then easily removed.”

I’d eat it.

Don’t Look At Me…

…I don’t know what the hell it is either, but the Goggle Site Transpertion reveals this self-explanatory caption:

“Familiar brought from Guinea, photo, do not think that installation. She said scientists felt flew and flew away.  They said: ‘We know this, have seen.’  Twice, dead, washed ashore from the Atlantic. In the photo, much of it decomposed…  As they say has all the ‘whiskers, paws, tail… Scales not. And on the back of a comb and hair… View from the front. Lying on his back. With open mouth. visible front and rear ‘legs.'”

Real Canadian Original Swedish Fish

Oh, yeah. It’s Canadian. It’s Swedish. It’s Fish. Right.

What we’ve got here is 538.6 grams of sticky pogie bait gummiecrap being advertised and sold as Original Swedish Fish (as opposed to the ubiquitous knock-offs). You Canucks ought to be ashamed, regardless of the Olympics, so don’t try to pawn this one off on the Greeks. Where do you get off mocking the Swedes?

More Breaking News: Ask AXE COP!

Good God! The Nicolle Brothers have a goldmine with AXE COP, and Episode 6 is up. Ethan Nicolle reports that since 25 January they’ve been getting 30-45 THOUSAND hits a day, and now they’ve got a splinter thread called “Ask AXE COP.” [Don’t squint, click the image.]

Due to the massive volume of traffic, their site is being revamped to handle the load.

We really don’t know what’s going on here, but something tells us that it has a Great Purpose.

Breaking News: AXE COP!

AXE COP is the most awesome thing we’ve seen on the internest in years.

Imagine Calvin as the author of a comic strip, and this is what you get. Created and written by a 5 year old, his 29 year old cartoonist brother puts it into action in glorious black and white.

Ya gotta read it from the beginning, Episode 1.  (Episode 0 comes later.) Unfortunately the website is slow to load, and has some other quirks about it, but it’s worth the time.

Superhero Sockarang is my personal favorite.
He shows up in Episode 5:

“Sockarang came to a try out when Axe Cop was preparing to go on a mission to fight Bad Santa and the Evil Flying Book. Sockarang has socks for arms, and he can shoot them out and they return to him like boomerangs. In his fight with Bad Santa he got some of Bad Santa’s blood on him and he got Bad Santa powers, which he used for good.”
