So a Japanese TV show gets a samurai guy on and puts him in front of a pitching machine. He tries to cut a baseball in half as it whizzes toward him.

Now my question is – as an umpire do you rule that a foul ball, a strike or what?

From Japanprobe.com, a new Japanese TV game show clip! This time they have to ride a foot scooter through a narrow space.

Also Bo Burnham’s song “Love is…”

Also a reminder for why you should prepare and think ahead before you have sex in the kitchen:

So this next video is, I am fairly sure, technically SFW! No nudity, no real sex, it’s in Japanese (and your first warning bell went off, didn’t it) and uhm … it’s fine, see? Except, wow, WTF. It seems to be a bunch of (fully clothed) Japanese women, wearing cat or rat ears, crawling on all fours to a … no, watch it yourself.

Two quick things! First we have a keyboard made from Scrabble tiles. Seriously, if you like Scrabble, words, cool shit or … just about anything you should go see that thing.

For Pan Kun fans – Pan Kun’s first love (2 parts!)

In Japan, Robocop makes your fried chicken. This is why Japan shall eventually destroy us all. ROBOCOP FRIED CHICKEN, people! ROBOCOP! FRIED! CHICKEN! (and yes it may be Korean, I still think Japan had a hand in it somehow, shush.)

Just watch this guy who trains at a batting cage, and well … wait till you see what he can do with a cork…

Pan-Kun celebrated his 7th birthday by taking a ride on a Segway!

Some Japanese game show stuff for you today.

So what’s up with me? Well then. the footnote gets a lot of love, of course. Go read it and enjoy. But outside of that? I feel a bullet list coming on!

• Been working on a novel.
• And the materials for a comic pitch.
• And a comic script for something else.
• And a short film.
• And now a different, shorter, film project.
• And laying the groundwork for a new webcomic that will hopefully burst into life in a bit.
• And the day job.
• And the coolest new big project ever that I am under NDA about but soon… soon I can talk about it.

So I pretty much: Go to work, work, set up things, go home and write on seven different things at once and then go to bed. The life of excitement.

The Big Lebowski – 10th Anniversary Limited Edition comes in a freakin’ bowling ball.

Mind you, it’s on sale for 24 bucks on Amazon right now, ships Sept 9th. Has new bonus features. Still! Bowling Ball case! But I don’t need a new copy. Like the Dude, I abide.

Just finished The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman. I have always loved Haldeman’s work but this book is like … think a Heinlein juvie, but not a juvie. It’s clean. Damned fine book. Fun, exciting, playful, smart and amazingly good writing.

An d to end with: Here is a Japanese game show where the point is to start yourself to a wall with a rubber band and then try to eat marshmallows on strings. Yes.

And here is a Japanese claymation silent film. Silent except for music and general area effects. But otheriwse no need for sound. Safe for work? I don’t know. A lot of claymation blood and gore. This is also hysterical and wonderful and magical. So you should watch it.
