Creepy Korean Chocolate Mushroom Snack

I find snack items from other countries very interesting. I found this box of Choco Songi Choco Snack in a Korean grocery market a few years ago.


On the package, the anthropomorphic leader chocolate mushroom exudes charm and confidence; he displays an alarming level of control over the others. He leads several smaller obedient mushrooms through a pleasant village, to what we can only guess is a horrific mass suicide ritual.

Saudi Cleric: Islam Permits Women to Drive

Sheikh Abdul Mohsin Al-Obaikan, my favorite Saudi cleric, points out that Islamic law does not prohibit women driving. Still waiting for the sheikh's approval on the big/best three vices: Gamblin', Liquor, and Whores (also the title of my yet-to-be released first album).

Love and Honor God with Fried Chicken

Sometimes in our busy lives, we don't take time to reflect spiritually upon our blessings. Fortunately, Oprah's (and my) favorite fried chicken restaurant Ezell's reminds us that we must love and honor God.

I give thanks much like the ancient Greeks performed ritual sacrifice: in the form of a pyramid of chicken bones piled high after worshipful gluttony.

The Swiss Family Subaykan?

Using the power of the Googles, I found these two guys who share my last name - which is very rare name so I wonder if there is some kind of relation. They are listed as employees of an electric power company in Switzerland (Elektro Beutler AG - Die Firma die für Power sorgt). Apparently it is a rare name in Switzerland as well.
