Did Somebody say G-G-G-G-G-GHOSTS!!!!

our buddy KagoFeet over at don't touch my Jpop! has a pretty damn good post consisting of Japanese G-G-G-G-GHOST(sorry, I watched too much Scooby Dooo growing up) videos from youtube. Definitely strange and creepy...and be sure to watch it with the volume up..not because there's some freaky ghostly "howling" but, the music that they play while the narrator is speaking, is just as eerie as the music from Unsolved Mysteries!..you know what I'm talking about....so be sure to check it out here


and for even more supernatural imagery...here's one classic clip that all "true believers" should watch...

For Son of Gigan

How could I have forgotten this??? This show was AWESOME. The animation was really good for a weekday afternoon cartoon and I remember trying to draw Duke Igthorn because he looked COOL, MAN.

Pic Of the Day..."I'd Risa her Niigaki" Edition...

another Morning Musume member who in my opinion, doesn't get enough love...like Eriku mentioned before, Gak-san is definitely looking bit flyer, which should help her advance on the "favorites" list of fans...but where he finds her bewildered "eh?" look stupid and annoying...I find it adorable and cute as hell...we agree to disagree I guess...like where Eriku considers dressing in all leather from head to toe "fashionable"...I find it a bit too dressy...sorry..I'm getting off subject here...where was I..oh yeah...and so I give to you:

RISA NIIGAKI

Tales of the Somewhat Strange and Creepy

damn dirty apes...or chimps in this case...


FREETOWN (Reuters) - Armed Sierra Leonean police are hunting up to 20 chimpanzees which killed a local taxi driver and injured three American visitors after they broke out of a wildlife sanctuary, officials said on Tuesday.

The animals killed local taxi driver Issa Kanu and bit and mauled three U.S. employees of a construction company helping to build the new U.S. embassy in Freetown.

Amarasekaran said sanctuary staff and armed police were still trying to round up about 20 of the runaway chimps, including two adult males called "Bruno" and "Philip."

He believes the males may have led the attack on the visitors after more than 30 of the apes managed to break out of their enclosure in the sanctuary.

"Maybe the visitors panicked and threw sticks and stones. Chimps mob people. If you try and defend yourself you can get hurt," he added. He advised any humans attacked by chimpanzees to "be submissive, lie on the ground."

Local villagers were keeping their children at home. "We're not letting our children walk on the forest road because these chimpanzees could get hold of them and kill them," Regent Town village elder, Jonathan Harding, told Reuters.

PIMPSTAR, BITCHES!

"Hey Baby, Call Me..."

What up everyone! I haven't posted on here for awhile. To get me back on the board let me introduce:

DJ Celory aka Mr. Beats feat. Mummy-D, HAB I SCREAM, and Keyco in

"愛だらけ" (Aidarake(rough translation: Full of Love)).

It took me awhile to get used to Keyco's singing. Aside from that I think this was a great song. Can you feel the love?

and when you get to know me a little more. you'll find that I'm a big Carpenters fan. With that said, here's the Carpenters performing a Beatles Classic "Help" at the Budokon in Japan. This was way back in 1974. I wasn't even born yet. Still it was a great performance. Anyways, check it out. Karen Carpenter is playing the drums! This girl can jam like there's no tommorow! Very nice! She f'n rocks man!

JAV companies really know how to cater to the otaku scum...if they're not making movies staring a Jpop Idol look-a-like, they're making movies based on video games...like the one below...and speaking of Jpop look-a-likes...the JAV geniuses seem to be "killing two birds with one stone" with this DVD by featuring Aya Matsuura doppelganger Ran Monbu staring in a spoof of the video game "Rumble Roses" called "Monbule Roses" ....



is it me or does the girl that Ran has in the abdominal stretch, have a striking resemblance to fellow Hello! Project member Ayaka Kimura?

UPDATE: More Hug Life stuff

Okay, this post is mainly to continue the Hug Life dialogue I had with Tsuji because I don't feel like scrolling down. But I do have some pictures that might be of interest to anyone that's...well...interested.

I spoke to W today, and she informed me that unfortunately the pink baseball T's are currently out (apparently Hug Life has some salespeople that have been more successful than she has. Who knew?). However, she does have two other baseball T's, in baby blue/white (first picture) and gray/blue. And the size she has is small. But come on Tsuji; small, medium, what's the F'N difference? Your girl would probably look good in a shirt that's a size too small. I wear my shirts at least two sizes too small and I look HOT.

W also says she has plenty of the tank tops. And if you really want the pink shirt in Medium, she can order it. She seemed excited that someone wanted to buy a shirt, so you CAN'T yank the rug out from under her now. That goes for the rest of you guys too. Suicidal teens everywhere are counting on you!

The Da Vinci Code

Riding the bus to and from work means I get to do a lot of reading. Three novels in two months. The second of those books was The Da Vinci Code. I got it as a gift two Christmases ago from Poshmom (and her Posh-husband). The book is a really easy and quick read -- especially now that you can imagine Forest Gump and Amelie as the two leads.

The ending was a bit of a letdown for me - but that's because the build-up to it was so engaging I couldn't help but work the mystery out in my head before I got to the end (damn all those Encyclopedia Brown books I read in elementary school!).

And even though this is a fictional murder-mystery, Dan Brown weaves in A LOT of details -- architectural and artistic. He also mixes in controversial concepts and debates about religion and religious history.

The quick pace of the book is the reason I got sucked in so quickly. Brown keeps the language simple -- at first I thought it was too simple and was kind of boring for about the first thirty-or-so pages, but as soon as the black light hits and Sophie Neveu storms into the Louvre to give Robert Langdon her phone, the book manages to stay engrossing and suspenseful for THE NEXT FOUR HUNDRED PAGES. No joke. Give it a try --don't let my "figuring out the real killer and solving the final puzzle with about fifty pages to go" deter you from reading it.

And don't be a snob. If it's good enough for Ron Howard and mullet-ed Tom Hanks, it's good enough for you.

THONGCHAI'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF GOLFING INSIDER TIPS

Yesterday afternoon, Landgon and I was having an intriguing conversation about golf balls. Since I am an avid golfer, he asked me what ball do I use when I play a round of golf. I use the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. I use that ball because I got it for a Christmas gift. I normally would not play with that ball since they are so expensive. About 40 or 50 dollars a dozen. Crazy huh? I really shouldn't use this ball because its for players who have higher skill levels in golf. On that note, Here is some of the article that gives the specs of the golf ball I use.

March 14, 2003 - What do you say when the best gets better?
In this case, you say, "Titleist."

High-handicappers (**THAT'S ME**) can enjoy the Pro V1s, but ultimately, a weekend hacker will hit them into the woods or water just as easily as an X-Out - but pay far more. No, the Pro V1s are geared to the serious - and seriously good - golfer who wants the best ball for his or her swing.

New Pro V1 Characteristics
The New Pro V1 features a large core that is soft and fast, with a urethane elastomer cover that enhances speed and spin and features 392 dimples. Its performance is longer than the original Pro V1, and the distance is more consistent from tee-to-green - but maintains what Titleist calls (and has trademarked) "Drop-and-Stop" performance into greens.

The New Pro V1 is designed for golfers with a wide range of launch conditions.

Pro V1x Characteristics
The Pro V1x is really meant for the best of the best. It's a version of the Pro V1 optimized for the highest swing speeds and high lift launch conditions. Or, as Titleist puts it, "The Pro V1x is the distance and performance solution for Pro V1 players who require less spin into the green, as well as for golfers currently playing competitive high-performance golf balls with low spin and firmer feel.

The Pro V1x has a high-compression dual core in a speed-enhancing and spin-controlling ionomer casing and a soft, thin Urethane Elastomer cover. It has 332 dimples (60 fewer than the Pro V1), designed to aid a more penetrating ball flight. The Pro V1x spins less on all shots than the Pro V1, but should still provide plenty of feel around greens.

While the New Pro V1 is longer than the old Pro V1, it's the Pro V1x that has really turned heads with its distance. Els and Mickelson, in particular, have been blasting away and crediting their prodigious length to the Pro V1x.

But you simply can't go wrong with either ball - as long as you're willing to spend to the money.

ATTENTION: A hot Asian chick needs your help!

As some of you know (and by "some," I mean "one"), I happen to share employment with a lovely young lady of Chinese descent. Why her nationality is important I don't know, but to avoid confusion, for the rest of my post I'll refer to her as "A." No wait--"B" is much better. No, that might be difficult to remember. I have it--"B6." Hold on, that's the vitamin I take to drive the last remaining ounces of water out of my rock-hard musculature. Let's call her "W."

W is very strongly involved in a business known as "Hug Life." She sells apparel and all the proceeds go to various charities, supporting causes such as the prevention of teen suicide. Why anyone would want to prevent that is beyond me; damn young people. No respect. But I digress.

W and I are not exactly close. In fact, the number of times we've talked is about equal to the number of conversations Langdon Alger has had with a girl in the past year. But she still saw fit to approach me recently and ask, "S.O.G, do you want to buy a shirt?" Of course, I promptly told W "N-O" and went on my merry way. Later on, she was in my office lamenting the fact that she had yet to sell a single shirt. I just couldn't bear to see her in such distress, so I kicked her out of my office and closed the door. But a few days later I had this revelation: "Hey, maybe those punkasses on the blog would like that stuff!"

So from the titanium cockles of the machine in my chest that acts as a heart, I give you the official Hug Life information:

Welcome to the Life!

The mission: to embrace who you are and appreciate the life you've been given, regardless of circumstance. Hug Life serves to remind all of us to focus on what is really important; our friends and families, and all others who share in both the greatest joys and surmountable tribulations that life throws our way!

Proceeds go towards charitable contributions for a variety of great causes including:

* Didi Hirsch Community Mental Health Center. www.didihirsch.org
* Hands On Bay Area. www.handsonbayarea.org
* The Wellness Community. www.thewellnesscommunity.org

And more to come! As the line grows, so will the charitable giving!

Be among the first to rock Hug Life! Buy a shirt, wear it well, and tell people more about the cause when they ask!

And here are the pictures:









Apparently at least one person on this blog is female, so maybe you'd like to "rock" this apparel. Do any of you guys know any females that might be into this? Ah, who am I kidding? Of course you don't. But maybe Terrence Maddox can appease B and C with some Hug Life to get them to stop fighting over him for two seconds.

And as you can see, Hug Life "gear" isn't only for girls; I've already spotted Freefall Jones in the shorts. So even if you don't want any for yourself, try to spread the word.

W sells the clothing from her car at work, and I can pick it up if anyone's interested. But if you don't want to go through me, and I don't blame you for being intimidated, you can contact the company directly at www.huglifeinc.com. In fact, that might be easier since W has a strange habit of avoiding eye contact with me. She's probably intimidated too.

And by the way, anyone who doesn't buy one of these shirts is a vile, disgusting, Hellbound excuse for a human being. And have a happy Easter!
