Thanks for keeping San Francisco safe, mister officer!
(He wanted tell me at the time, but I learned that the ticket costs US $197. Just $40 less than the same “violation” with a moving vehicle. I requested a court hearing).
Is that safe cycling?
This Little Taiko Boy somehow turns an Xmas song into a very sexy video with an HIV prevention message. Almost makes Xmas bearable. Sorry but Vimeo does not embed on WordPress.com blogs. Worth clicking.
Major yucks. I can’t agree more with YouTube commenter magog1138, quoted in this blog post title. Thanks, I guess, to Christophe, for bringing this nasty video of Bristol Palin and “The Situation” talking about safe sex and (failed) abstinence.
I feel safer. Don’t you?!
Visiting a major shrine in Tokyo, I decided to stop and read some of the wishes written on wooden placards. I had thought they would all be about love and world peace. Of course, many are, but some are hilarious. Not sure if it’s bad to read others’ wishes, but they are public and I could not help myself.
Here are some of the best ones in English. Above: “I want a BMW 3 Series with real leather seats and a Bose sounds system and a GPS nav. system with a cute Japanese girl voice and seat warmers so my butt stays warm in the winter.”
“Simon has clear direction in his life and is determined to be + stay debt free with a house that owns . . . . He understands that it is all down to him– go for it tree!!!”
“Wish my daughter Linting (?) come to her senses + break away from Dario completely and never see him again. Wish good health, safe . . . Heal me + let me live a long healthy happy life.”
Below is what all the cards called ema in Japanese look like underneath the giant tree.
More wish cards after the jump.
