SIGHTINGS...OTAKUS MAJOR

Dateline: Saturday, May 25th at approximately 5:20pm..As FJ, SoG and I took pictures outside the San Jose Convention Center after spending a good part of the afternoon at Fanime 2008, I spotted something mingling amongst the costumed convention goers...It was the elusive OTAKUS MAJOR



rarely scene in daylight, let alone out in public, this normally shy creature likes to stay within the confines of his domicile preferring the company of inanimate objects, such as action figures, and 2 dimensional images, such as in anime videos and manga, rather than live human contact..


this specimen was rather bold to venture out in public but the call of the annual migration of his fellow otakus to Fanime was too strong for him to resist...he did come prepared though...dawning his somewhat stylish wrap around sunglasses to protect his eyes from the strong rays of the sun and making sure to put on extra weight to sustain his long wait for the bus trip home or the ride from his mother who would be picking him up in front of the convention center at a predetermined time.

I tried to get closer to OTAKUS MAJOR, but apparently I wandered to close to his "comfort zone" and he picked up his briefcase filled with manga(or crackers) and scurried away..but I was able to capture a rare shot of a female OTAKUS MAJOR crossing paths with this male specimen...as expected, they did not acknowledge each other

in this final picture...I attempted to hide behind the spray of the water fountains in front of the convention center and continue to observe OTAKUS MAJOR but I had pressed my luck..he had spotted me..it was an intense moment..I could do nothing but back off with my hands raised...however, in my retreat..I was able to snap one last image of this often misunderstood creature....





In the coming weeks, I will be making a trip to another Anime Convention..there, I hope to capture on film, for the first time.......WHITUSTRASHUS OTAKUS MULLETUS


Creep factor dialed all the way to 11

YODC Celebrates its 3rd Anniversary BITCHES!!!!

YODC hit the 3 year mark this past friday July 25th...unbelievable that we're still around...what started out as a little blog that barely anyone visited has now become a slightly larger blog that barely anyone visits..amazing how we've grown!!!..here are some highlights from the past year...







thanks to the mag-bast crew for keeping this shit going....thanks to the folks that visit and leave comments, all the fellow bloggers who link to us, the good folks at International Wota and as always, big up to Brother Ray at American Wota...and now..a very special Pic Of the Day....cue the Benny Hill music...









yeah...its the same clip I posted for YODC's 1st Anniversary

The Blog Knight.

YODC's very first entry was just my quick commentary that people should watch Batman Begins. I saw that film with Son of Gigan and I remember him saying, "Fuck Tim Burton and Michael Keaton," about twenty minutes into the film.

As for this anniversary post? Yes... FUCK JACK NICHOLSON.

Also, Fuse has a show called Rad Girls -- it's basically Jackass, but with chicks. I can't tell if they're funny because they're kind of hot...



...and for your Google-image-search convenience, the girl getting waxed is Ramona Cash.

CJ's Video Of The Moment "Would You Buy An LP From This Band?" Edition

A television advertisement (that never aired) for Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band's album Lick My Decals Off, Baby (the follow-up to the must-own classic double album Trout Mask Replica).



Coincidentally, this album is only available as a righteous 180-gram vinyl edition, although pirated CD versions have been floating around eBay for awhile.

And the same thing goes for Dave Matthews.

UPDATE! Hot Pole Vaulter

Around a year ago, we posted these famous photos of Allison Stokke, AKA The Hot Pole Vaulter:

Since then, she's turned 19, enrolled at Cal Berkeley, and grown into young, powerful womanhood - with the emphasis on "grown." I, for one, welcome the thicker, more brick house-esque Allison. But take a look and make the call for yourselves.
