A similar scam happened to me in Asia. The waiter handed me an individually packaged hand wipe. After I tore it open and used it, I found out I was going to be charged for it.

Ayup. Monogrammed thermos travel mugs.

And just think...she probably found a job at some other food-service establishment with lower standards, where she blissfully spends her days bare-handing lemon slices and hamburger buns. I'd love to order a refill of Coke just to see if she'd bring it to the table in her mouth.

That's so irritating when the dubbing process is used to add unnecessary stuff, remove important dialogue that wasn't merited "necessary", or worst of all, actually change the meanings. It's why I am so leery of dubbed movies, as a general rule.

Thanks! It's not showing up on Netflix, but I'll poke around and give that streaming link a try.

But this isn't even gross....I mean, it is gross, but the horror extends far beyond mere grossness.....it hails from some bizarre planet where urine is magically transmogrified into shaped pieces of plastic. Brightly colored shaped pieces of plastic. This is like a Clive Barker story.

That is so perfect. I swear I just spent 20 minutes reading Amazon reviews for travel lint rollers before deciding which one to bequeath my FOUR DOLLARS on for purchase.

Do you know where we US folks can watch this online? It looks gorgeous and I have a particular fondness for European Xmas film classics (we watched The Box of Delights every year when I was a kiddo and it's still my favorite Christmas movie).

And heels and toes being chopped off and blood dripping down the side of the horse!

It's from the most terrifying tv commercial (not meant to be terrifying, of course), or rather series of commercials. I haven't seen them in years and completely forgot about them. They are some of my all-time favorite Japanese commercials. You can watch 4 of them here:

By my calculations, that means that next year we will be able to enjoy the 28th Annual Crystal Light National Aerobic Championships!!

Thank you a hundred times for sharing that excerpt. It resonated with me so much more than most other procrastination advice I have read (and I have read way too much of it, since I am a terrible procrastinator).

I kinda love that proposal speech actually.

This remains one of the greatest comic scenes of all times ever. I freaking love the "Honey what's new in the LL Bean catalog?" game that they play. On the weekends. At Starbucks.

YES YES YES

"and the decorative abilities"

That girl was much cuter than Paris, for the record.

What is going on in that music video??? I do not understand anything anymore.
