Explaining Cheese to Leafy Greenbuds

Imagine trying to explain cheese to your new pall, Leafy Greenbuds, a space alien who has no concept of food because her folk derive their nutrition through photosynthesis. You show Leafy a cow, and then explain the milk thing (a la Arthur Dent with the Nutri-Matic on the Heart of Gold [if you don’t get … Continue reading Explaining Cheese to Leafy Greenbuds →

Taints on Ice

By Balls Malone When you think about it, figure skating is really based on who is able to showcase their taint in the most grandiose way. I suppose you don’t have to think about it this way, but it makes it a lot more entertaining.

End Times

Fleecing Weeaboos: The New Art of the Samurai

I was watching NHK World News a while back and came across a pretty sweet nugget. NHK is basically Japan's CBC, but with the suck turned way down. Their World News cable network is pretty good. They run through the same stories for ten or fifteen minutes on the hour, with full news broadcasts at … Continue reading Fleecing Weeaboos: The New Art of the Samurai →
