in Laughing Squid Turns 13 on Laughing Squid
Happy birthday! My recommendation? Deodorant, especially now that you'll be almost exclusively obsessed with wooing your new crush.

I'd love a translation of the intro -- all I caught was "ya ni znayoo," which sums up most of the Russian I can understand. Otherwise, the video is hott!

You're living the impossible dream! Congratulations. Thankfully, median home prices here in 'Frisco are dropping like a rock. Maybe someday...

I agree, that was a lot of fun. I thought the production did a fantastic job of pulling together a narrative arc and letting the people portray their real depth as characters, when it could have taken a much more patronizing tone and gone for cheap schadenfreude.

Glad this is finally out there -- they screened it at the Apple Store event, and it was the highlight of the evening.

Saw this at the Apple Store fete, but didn't manage to catch the URL in time. Indeed, better than the original in many, many ways.

My suggestion: have everyone bring a copy of the Bill of Rights. Maybe compose a carol with the text of the first amendment! Should be all the permit you'd think you'd need.

in In-N-Out Burger, A Fast Food Underdog With a Cult Following on Laughing Squid
I've heard that observant Muslims have also become fans of In-N-Out. While not strictly halal, the fact that the packaging contains biblical references is blessing enough, apparently.

I have to admit, having grown up with fast food, I still indulge from time to time. In-N-Out is definitely my preferred junk food destination.

Okay, so they remain anonymous, and not disclose their ties to companies? How do I know if someone isn't writing about their own company or project in a flattering light? And if anonymous, why not divulge insider secrets? I'm not sure I understand.

This, my friend, is the work of what they call in the ad biz "coolhunters." And I'll bet dollars to donuts some of them are reading this very blog!

Oh man, Ando-sama, you were an unknown hero to me. I still eat mad ramen noodles, just cause I like 'em! Nissin "Top" Ramen are still the best brand out there.

in Japanese Researchers Shoot Video of Live Giant Squid on Squid
Considering the ethics of Japanese "scientific expeditions" for whaling, and the experience of now seeing two teams of Japanese scientists injure giant squid (in this case lethally), I have to wonder if the researchers don't have some culinary interest in the subject.

Just sayin' -- that cephalopod looks like a whole lot of mighty good eatin'.
