Living in the future

So, all our scientific and technological prowess from the past few hundred years, all boils down to the ability to instantly, on demand, be utterly fascinated by a video about cats carrying fish of different weights.

P.S. WTF Japan?!

Oh, yeah! That! I saw it when it actually came on TV! I remember that! :D

...in my defense, I was in the hospital and had nothing else to do. And that was the most interesting thing on.

Fear for Japan, yo.

I couldn't even understand the color commentary, but it was funny nevertheless. XD

If Japan didn't exist, someone would have to invent it, just for the crazy.

*g* The crazy was on TV tonight, yo. There was some TV variety show on where there were two "kimoi" (yucky) characters--both were in leather hotpants, and one had his face painted like a really ghetto clown, the other was chubby with an UNGODLY AMOUNT OF BACK HAIR and a voice like he'd been inhaling helium. They had some actress on the show, and had a "kimoi" contest, where she and one of the guys would act out a scene from a famous movie. Only, she had a little "kimoi" button, and every time she felt "kimoi" she pushed the button. And when she pushed the button, a little voice said "Kimoi!" The contest was *which guy was less kimoi*.

The chubby one got to do the famous pottery scene in ghost, and I swear, you couldn't even make out a "kimoi" because she was pushing the button so fast.

In the end, it was Ghetto Clown 70-something, Back hair man 120.

I was *dying laughing*. ...and screaming, "Kimooooo~i!!" at the screen, but I think that's because I've been here too long.

Oh man. Hundreds if not thousands of years of refined culture, all of which culminate in this.

(It's almost worth learning Jpanese just to watch TV. XD)

The same show had a contest between Hard Gay (all dressed in white leather this time, with a long, flowly white wig), a guys dressed like a Cats reject, and another guy looking like a Cats reject. The contest? They were pushed down a little indoor hill on a white boogieboard on wheels, and had to jump off it before it got to the sand-filled pit, bounce off a trampoline in the pit, and onto a giant ball hanging from the ceiling. The winner was the one who actually managed to get on the ball and sit on it. Hard Gay got the trampoline and went airbourne but missed the ball and slammed into a fake cliff side, the first Cats reject wiped out on the trampoline, and the last guy actually did it, and was swinging like a pendulum.

There are NO WORDS for Japanese TV. Well, no words other than "cracktastic."

X3 so cute! I want that big fat white one~

Damn, I'd hate to meet that white one in a dark alley. Jaws of steel.

Especially since we're too big to carry off, and therefore the white one would just start chowing down.

It was interesting to see the different techniques used. I observed:

Clamp onto the tail and walk normally, hoping that the fish dragging under your legs doesn't trip you.

Clamp onto the top fin area, and walk normally.

And, finally, the one I kept waiting for, clamp onto the tail and walk backwards.

Oh yeah, plus: Screw carry out, just dine in!

WOW. I can't believe I watched all of that. One of the cats looked just like my Artemis, except Artemis is waaaaaaaaaaay to lazy to walk away with dinner.

Heh. After a while, I did open a new browsing window so that I could surf while waiting for the action to resume.

My daughter and I just sat through the whole thing.
