More Cute Japanese Items..




In Japan's unending quest to grow edibles shaped like other things comes these heart and star shaped cucumbers. "These cucumbers represent the cumulative efforts of an agricultural coop determined to make food preparation a little bit more exciting. Comprised of nine women in Chiba, a suburb of Tokyo, this grass roots organization cleverly uses plastic molds affixed to the stem of the plant, with which they can create heart and star shapes when the cucumber is sliced cross-wise. These romantic cucumbers are selling at fancy supermarkets in Tokyo and as specially ordered wedding gifts at ceremonies throughout Japan. They cost 300 yen each (about $2.50)."
I would buy these in a second... seriously, it may come to be that the cucumbers were somehow genetically altered and cause cancer. But damn, they are cute. I want one of these molds for Christmas!

How NOT To Private Message On Facebook...


Not real.... Please see this example of a 41-year old (idiot) Tracy T-something trying to send lover Michael a Facebook message expressing how much she loved him recently railing her but instead posting the note ON HER OWN WALL... and now it's all over the internet. Yet another reason why moms should not post on Facebook...

Getting A Tea Party Started...


I can only imagine the hilarity that would ensue if you were to use these teabags are your next tea party... appropriately called "Striptea". What is up with that Chris Farley looking tea bag in the back? Seriously...

For The Movie Lovers...



100 years of special effects in 5 minutes... "You've come a long way, baby" seems to pop in mind.

This Is Just Cool...


The Bokeh filter is a $10 physical filter for your camera that turns out of focus light blurs in the background into shapes like hearts and stars and spirals (separate filter required for each). It works by magic... or just modern technology.

"One of the fastest growing fads in modern photography is bokeh shapes. Bokeh shapes are shapes of light in the blurred background of photos. These shapes are achieved by using a bokeh filter over the camera lens. Bokeh is a photography term derived from the Japanese word for blurred. Bokeh refers to the unfocused background in a photo. The Bokeh Filter is a simple filter that clips onto the end of your lens. This filter blocks out pieces of light that cause the bokeh (blur) in your images to take the shape of the filter."

Of course... when it's cute, it's Japanese. Next there will be a filter that will make your face look like Hello Kitty's or any the other Sanrio characters.

You've Got Mail..

A mailbox...that looks like a computer, "You've Got Mail." Seriously, people have way too much free time on their hands... and it's $230!!

Did Not Even Recognize Her...

Does this even look close to Carmen Electra? Oh.. the wonders of makeup!

Yup...Definitely Pregnant

Maybe I'm just used to seeing her extremely toned... but Kendra Wilkinson is definitely pregnant and definitely showing.

Just Say No

Lisa Turtle... what happened? She did not need botox...or anything else! She was so cute!

Just Makes Me Happy...

Happiest Turtle Ever from Henrik Edelbring on Vimeo.



Here's a turtle with just a very cool attitude about life, in case your Wednesday is flagging a bit and you need a pick-me-up. Admittedly not a very exciting video... just kind of peaceful...

Something To Think About...

Miley Cyrus- Role Model

Of course, perfect. How appropriate for young girls to watch... Miley Cyrus dancing on the pole. Give her a big round of applause...

Bobby Bottleservice....



This is hilarious... if you've ever spent more than one night in Miami-- then you know who this guy is -- perhaps not literally, but we all have our own name for him. You know- Tony Tables...heh.

Elephant Stuck In Drain Hole


Rescuers worked for 3 hours to get this little baby elephant named Stinky out of a drain hole. If you look closely, it looks like Stinky is crying! I don't think I've ever wanted to hug something so badly in my entire life...and yet it could sit on me and I would be crushed. Interesting how things like that work out...

How is this "talent" discovered? He catches laptops with his butt?!?!? on a trampoline?!?! And how is the guy on target every time??? The last few seconds are just stressful...
