Mink Hippie and I have been trying to eat in every restaurant in Kailua. Not long ago we decided to focus on the chop suey joints. For an interesting background on Chop Suey click here to explore this unique Chinese American cuisine. It’s not Chinese food… The generally accepted wisdom on chop suey is that…

Russia Seeks Volunteers for Simulated Mars Mission
This sounds like a good opportunity for hard core gamers. Or for couch potatoes. Or for writers. Or for people that are generally antisocial. Of course, how much would it suck if you were trapped on the ship with a Barney Fife, Gilbert Gottfried, or some other annoying companion. cd Shut-Ins Wanted: Russia Seeks Volunteers…
Prison Disciplines Inmate Who Paints With M&M’s
Heard about this guy a few weeks back and thought painting seemed like a great way to try and stay sane in solitary. Well, I wasn’t the only one to hear about him – a deputy attorney general sent the NYT article to prison officials. Donny Johnson has been selling his M&M-on-postcard creations for $500…
Stop complaining about the heat…make cookies…on your dash!
I wonder if everyone did this, baked, while they worked in AC, if the energy savings from convection and microwave ovens would balance out? Bake cookies, save the planet!!! cd BEDFORD, N.H. – Blistering heat was just what Sandi Fontaine needed to bake cookies for her co-workers — on the dash of her Toyota Rav4….
Wankathon in London
I totally approve of this kind of thing but wouldn’t really want to go. I’m a solo wanker. Of course, not everyone is, and it does solve the problem of masturbation being lonely. I think it was Robert A. Heinlein that said when touting the benefits of masturbation that it is clean, safe, fun, and…
I knew they were talking about me.
The Reverend is paranoid, if anything, considering he contends with unseen forces for a living. But here these two old ladies were obviously not thrilled with my many talents. And even when I got closer the feeling didn’t entirely dissipate… The artist’s name is Ron Mueck, yahoogle his name and see more wild stuff.
Amanda UnBoomed
I was very bummed to go over to RocketBoom and find that Amanda Congdon is no longer hosting the daily V-log. You can check out what happened and the continuing adventures of Amanda at her blog below. It seems to be a typical case of success causing a ‘friend’ to ditch everything that isn’t in…

Now nobody is going to believe it is happening…what next? cd Heat converts Bush ally Robertson on global warming Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said on Thursday the wave of scorching temperatures across the United States had converted him into a believer in global warming.
Paris: 'Who's Tony Blair?'
She is morbidly fascinating. I can’t stop watching – even though we are boiling ourselves and the entire planet alive – like frogs… “Ah, the heats’s not so bad – what’s Paris doing now?” (Thanks, Terry.) Celebrity rich girl Paris Hilton has demonstrated her grasp of world affairs by asking: “Who’s Tony Blair?” The hotel…
Arab-American Psychiatrist Wafa Sultan: There is No Clash of Civilizations but a Clash between the Mentality of the Middle Ages and That of the 21st Century
Beth sent me this video link to an interview with Arab-American psychiatrist Wafa Sultan. It was recorded in February 2006. I find it interesting that Al Jazeera aired her views – I thought they were more one-sided. She pillories the Muslims for being trapped in an old-fashioned mentality of violence that isn’t ultimately going to…
