From the comments but funny enough to post.
I would love a iPod packaged in gold foil with a $50 gift certificate to Burger King.
Come to think of it, I would love just Burger King. Its been over 13 months since the last time I had a whopper. That will be one of the first things I buy when I come home to visit next month.
This represents everything that is wrong with the internet. Use extreme caution.
Well, maybe they just look at you in disgust and yell epithets on occassion. Thus is the life of the politically-active non-socialist in California.
Update: Slate has released their list of endorsements. Curiously, Hitchens says something different at Slate than at The Nation. I especially like his opinion at the latter.
Japan is a place filled with varied snacks. From Cho-pan to Men’s Pocky and Garlic Bread Crumbs (complete with complementary onion soup packet), you can find just about anything. For the really adventurous, may I recommend a fabulous new product: Goo Diet!
For those of us allergic to chewing, it is the perfect drink to wash down your breakfast, lunch or dinner. It doesn’t matter whether you went home to eat your wife’s box, made a convenient stop at Sunkus to check out what other women put in their obento box or just can’t keep the chocolate Asse out of your mouth, GooDiet does the trick. Finishing your meal with GooDiet packs a protein-rich, vitamin-filled wallop down your throat so you can feel refreshed and satified all day strong, all day long.
Studies prove 7 out of 10 people prefer GooDiet over Pocari Sweat and Calpis. It isn’t hard to see why. Since its packed with good-for-you vitamins and only 2 calories, GooDiet slams you with a protein-rich wallop that leaves you feeling refreshed and satisfied all day strong, all day long. So stop by Sunkus and buy yours today!
Speaking of Japan’s treatment of the news, I would like to pay my respects to Jeffrey Sanderson. This kid was the same age as me, came over to teach English just like me, but had his life cut short a few months ago by some disgraceful, abhorrent Japanese driver who ran him over and then fled the scene. Jeffrey’s friend, Patrick, was also run over and put into critical condition at the time by the same driver (and perhaps another!).

What silly country has “Mega-typhoon heads north; 6 people hurt” as their paper’s headline. In Australia the Prime-Minister dies without anyone paying enough attention to be able to find him, and Japan reports injuries on the front page. No wonder half of their news shows are about the rest of the world. Nothing dangerous happens in this country–especially the Typhoons.
I keep beckoning God/Buddha/Whatever to show us his wrath here in Kanazawa, but all we get are mildly strong winds. I want excitement! I want the fear of god running through my bones!
I’m obviously too sheltered.
Update: Asahi is now reporting 15 people have died, including a 24-year old woman.
I present to you, The Soda Constructor.

Alle die Yankees sind Schweine und Hünder. Not really, but living with one Red Sox fan and one Yankee’s fan, you’ve got to make a choice. And who would root for a team a.) from New York and b.) that outspends all National League teams by at least $80,000,000.
Update: kick ass! The Yankees have been sent home after a total and utter whooping.
What!? I guess they make some decent points. But I mean come on…next thing you know they’ll be saying Object Oriented code is evil.
Which of the following is true:
I ask you, Thy dungeonman, to solve this riddle!
