What Type of Butter is That?

Reminds me of the glue sticks that I used to gobble on in kindergarten… those little bastards may as well have been filled with butter too.

Lego My Dojo

Ok. I am sick and tired of the rest of the world kicking our asses at EVERYTHING! Japan, I’m looking at you. You have better schools, sure I’m fine with that. More fuel efficient and affordable vehicles? Fine, take it. Better health care and job security? Whatever – it’s yours. Small, subservient women who look awesome in catholic girl uniforms? I want that, but I guess you had it first so keep it. But more awesomer LEGO skills? Uh- No. This is where I draw the line. This thing that you’ve engineered here is way too awesome! You have to smash it now! Can’t you just build a shitty looking house or a crappy air plane or something for once? You built A folding dojo that turns into a LEGO box? Seriously? You never quit, do you? Just take my dreams while you’re at it. ONLY IN JAPAN!

Robotic Dog Tail Let Others Know You Are Happy, Sad, Insane

Link: Mood Tail

Just in case you happen to be keeping track of all the things that don’t need to be invented but still get invented anyways simply because Japan exists, you can cross this one off the list: a robotic tail that you wear around your waist and wags via a Wii nun chuck remote. Only in Japan!

Ninja Bunnies  Mega HO!!!  WTF.  There are so many Internet Phenomena out there that still surprise me…But hey who the hell doesn’t like Ninja Bunnies?  I was actually doing some regular Ninja research because I karate chop shit all the time and because I broke my hand trying to chop a salad for din din, Ninjas get hungry too you know.

I gave that salad a letter “H”!  Next time it needs a “Q”.

The Future is NOW: Robo Foosball Table is Awesome

Back in Community College I was the undisputed king of the Foosball Table. I’d take any challenger, man or woman, and make them cry as I smacked my balls into their goal all night long. That was before they closed the youth center though, now I have to play against people my own age and I haven’t won in quite a while… That’s why I’m so excited by this Robot Football game. It’s not like I’ll be any better at the game, but at least it has frickin robots!

I’m Seizing! Japanese Noodle Commercial is Intense.

Not only is this the best commercial I’ve ever seen, it’s also the worst. How is something that makes you need to puke also supposed to make you want to eat noodles? Seriously, WTF did I just watch? Did I really just see some dude with a cheese head *PEW-PEW* curry sauce into some girls noodle bowl? Yes. Yes I did. Only in Japan!

Holy Taco

Good Robot Idea: Foldy The Laundry Folding Robot

Normally, I would never promote a robot for any reason (except the smiting of my enemies) but folding laundry sucks. I never fold my laundry. I have two piles: One clean, one dirty. I take a shirt from the clean pile, wear it until it smells or someone notices my shirt repetition, and then it goes into the dirty pile. What is the point of taking the time to fold a shirt when I know it’s going to end up in the pile? I would say that my girl friend folds my laundry for me, but that would make me a sexist. Besides, girls don’t know how to fold shirts any better than I do these days. It’s time for Robots to take the helm.

Does any body else think this would make a good sequel to Wall-E?

No: Robot Nurse Bear

Quick, name the two most dangerous things you can think of. I’ll wait… Good. If you said ‘Robots’ and ‘Bears’ you are correct. Now, lets take a human nurse, fire them, and replace them with a robot that looks like a bear. Good idea? Japan thinks so. The call it RIBA, which stands for “Robot for Interactive Body Assistance”. So now when you wake up from that long coma and finally get to take that piss you have been holding in for a month, you get to stare into the cold, lifeless eyes of a giant robot bear as he holds your junk for you. WTF is humanity thinking? We are DOOMED.

Dragon Boat is Awesome

This Fire-breathing, water-spitting dragon-boat is pretty awesome. I know an awesome dragon when I see one because I slay dragons for a living, and every dragon slayer knows that the water dragon is the most notorious of dragons. This particular dragon is actually a piece of art commissioned for the Aqua Metropolis festival in Osaka, Japan and was built from aluminum by artist Yanobe Kenji. They call it “Luck Dragon”, I say it’s lucky I’m not on its back swording the f*ck out of it!

Assault Girls: AWESOME

FUCK YEAH JAPAN! I’m so excited right now I’m pooping rainbow colors. This is the a live action film from acclaimed Anime director Oshii who obviously has huge ballz. I’ll bet his ballz are chromed and make *clink* *clink* noises when he walks, instead of *mush* *mush* like mine do.

Google Image Search is awesome

In my downtime at work I thought it would be interesting to Google a few common and very plain words to see what weird awesome and random stuff it turned up… Here is what happened.

I first Googled “space” and while it did come up with a lot of what is to be expected, cool images of stars, planets and all that, then on page 2 this image popped up.

I give you the future of space toilets, either that or diapers, one of the two… Designed by the Japanese, it supposedly has sensors that detects when you drop a deuce or take a piss and activates rear suction and draws it away from the body. And they say that it’s going to be clean? To handle the left over mess it will actually wash and clean the wearer after each use. Now I won’t have to shower as often when I go to the moon next week

Hit the jump for a few more interesting finds.

Why is Japanese TV So Awesome?

I rarely recommend watching any 10 minute video in its entirety, but this is a special occasion. They should prescribe this video to people with depression because seeing this ugly little kid freak out at these simple magic tricks is just plain heartwarming.
