Weirdness: Round three

[CRBWildcat]

While I don't have any pictures, I do have something amusing to share. A couple blocks away from where I live, there's a house that's covered left, right, and center with lights and decorations. Enough of them that the house could be seen by passenger airplanes overhead. Meanwhile, the house next door to it has very few decorations, if any, and a sign that just says "Ditto".

Ah... so THAT"s where you live...

At least it isn't even close to as gaudy as the above setup.

What do you think? Will this furusato nozei system work internationally?

For all of Japan's fanciness in ice cream flavours, tastes are still pretty vanilla (and chocolate).

And just tripped over this on FB…

Not a Tshirt I’d wear often I suppose

Neko, I love the t-shirt. But where would I wear it? (A Con, probably.) I shall have to make-do with my many Agatha Heterodyne, Girl Genius tee-shirts.

[Neko-]

I figured someone would get a kick out of that shirt

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

Looked more like a finger.

Did Tank Girl nick Sailor Moon's henshin stick?

Electronics & Music Maker was a British music magazine that began as a music projects magazine. Chances are you will run into names you haven't thought about for years if not decades. I mean, when was the last time you heard of Classix Nouveaux?

Sounds like Sanrio is youthening up Hello Kitty.

Even Sailor Sirius is giggling, and that's the first sound I have ever heard from her!
