change is good

Starting today some things are going to change around these here parts.

I haven’t been happy with this Amazon-centric blog thingy, so I’m going to change it from “Amazon Whoring” to “Pointless Whoring”. It will become more of a catch all deal for the kind of junk and random garbage that I find all over the web. That way, I will be more likely to update the damn thing more often. As it is, I can’t really get excited over finding crazy crap on Amazon all the time. I’m hoping this change will lite a fire under my ass to update the section some more.

Also in the works currently is an official 13tongimp.com podcast of some type or other. I’ve been throwing together all sorts of lame attempts at music mixing for some time now, and I have all sorts of audio goodness from the nine corners of the interweb to share as well. While listening to great amateur radio programs such as the Hour Of Slack, I’ve really been inspired to try and refresh and expand the meager radio production skills I do have. It probably won’t help much that I goofed off a lot in radio class those many years ago.

Nasal Hair Hero

Bobobo-bo bo-bobo, Volume 1

Here is the description of Bobobo-bo bo-bobo from the Wiki:

“The story takes place in the year “300X”. The evil “Bald Empire” (”Margarita Empire” in the Japanese version), led by Emperor Baldy Bald (Tsuru Tsuruiina IV in the Japanese version), is taking over the world by stealing people’s hair. The hero, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (whose name is a string of the mimetic word bÅ-bÅ- (ã¼ã†ã¼ã†) used on rough vegetation or unkempt hair), is an adventurer who as a child learned to “hear the voices of the hair”, and can command his own body hair (including his nose, chest, and armpit hair) to perform various martial arts dubbed Art of the Fist of the Nose Hair (In Japan Hanage Shinken (é¼»æ¯›çœŸæ‹³), literally “true martial art of nostril hair”), often called “Snot Fo-Yu” (pun on “snot for you”) in the dub, though it was called “Fist of Nose Hair” in one episode. The series follows his various escapades as he teams up with many different oddball sidekicks to fight the Baldies.”

And you can catch the anime on the Cartoon Network…

Buncha Bugs

Ladybugs: 9000 Count

These beneficial ladybugs are the most popular and widely used beneficial insects for commercial and home use for pest control. Ladybugs are capable of consuming up to 50 to 60 aphids per day, but they will also eat a variety of other insects and larvae including: scales, mealy bugs, leaf hoppers, mites, and various types of soft bodied insects.

So you aren’t supposed to eat them?

I thought this was some new kind of LA snack fad for a moment.

Droid Apocalypse

How To Survive a Robot Uprising :
Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion

Options for fighting back are plentiful, though not everyone will be relieved to learn the standard kitchen microwave can be retrofitted into a radiation gun that can destroy electronics and “cook human flesh.” (Instructions for such a project are not included.)

It’s difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive earth men or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them; the robots will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new cyber-overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted internet personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground dilithium crystal mines.
