Death sure is funny!
When you're "a different"... you remain one right to the very end. Some of my favorite differents are dead people. But let's face it, when they were alive, they sure did live life to it's fullest.
The Differents live by three rules:
- Be you.
- Have fun.
- Take chances.
We differents do think differently. For example, recently I've been thinking about getting my third tattoo. I decided a long time ago that my right arm would be my "cheat sheet for life" so that's where I have my tattoo's that remind me about what is important to me.
My newest tattoo is aimed for my left arm. It's simply going to say "See other arm."
So now I have a new mission. I know the end of my life is a long time away (or at least I hope it is) but there's no time like the present to start thinking about what I want to have on my head stone
Here are some eternal funny "differents" I'm going to use for inspiration.
This one takes some imagination... It's supposed to be like a marquee...

The tastiest condiments in the world?
Take your average meal... add one of these magical condiments to your first bite... and the taste will be transformed into something magical.
I Stumbled on this page from Matador Network that shows some of the world's best condiments including, yes, Heinz Ketchup. That's the great thing about StumbleUpon... you never know what you're going to get.
I've tried most of these condiments but there are a few standouts that I'm going to set my mind to immediately. Take "Ajvar" (above) for example. It's made with red bell peppers, eggplant, garlic and chili pepper that are stewed and baked bringing out all the sweetness of the red bell peppers and adding the bitterness of eggplant. I can literally taste the flavor in my mind... and I like it. I like it a lot.
A few of my favorite condiments include Hoisin Sauce while eating Thai Tom Yum soup, Crystal Hot Sauce from New Orleans on my eggs and Cream of Balsamic on a piece of Parmesan cheese. Try 'em all! You'll thank me for it.
So tell me, whats your favorite condiment?

"Japadog" - The Japanese hot dog at the Olympics.
via www.japadog.com
It's become the surprise hit on the streets of Vancouver during the Olympics. It's called a Japadog... hot dogs with a Japanese twist... including condiments like seaweed, radish and plum sauce. Japadog sounds both wrong and appealing at the same time, doesn't it? I thought that sushi was essentially a Japanese hot dog but nay... if you're in Vancouver, Japadog is the real thing. Foodies such as Anthony Bourdain have even stopped by this street meat vendor to sample their wares.
Japadog has two carts. One is located at Burrard and Smithe and another cart opened just in time for the Olympics at Burrard and Pender but that won't make your wait any shorter. You should expect to wait in line for at least one hour to get your Japadog. But there's good news: just after the Olympics... Japadog will open an actual store with the bags of cash they'll make over the next few weeks.
Japadog carts will be open every day during the Olympics but according to their website their hours vary when the world isn't visiting Vancouver. They state, "We may close about 3 days per month, depending on whether." So you might want to check the forecast before heading out for your daily Japadog. I know I'm going to try one ASAP.

Scary facts about food around the world.
Wow! The folks at www.mymodernmet.com really opened my eyes when they took photos of several families around the world with the food they would typically consume in a week. Scary!
Check out the amount of fresh food and lack of meat that shows up in countries other than north America. Shocking!
Click through and see for yourself. Do you think you could live on the food The Ahmed family of Cairo eats every week? (I'd sure like to try to)

Screw in coffins
Posted by: CircuitGizmo on February 9, 2010 at 3:38 PMAs long as this is the comedy hourThis is the coffin to get for somebody who felt screwed by life. Seriously, though, why the threads? Trying to keep the topsoil in place? Why not do this without the threads - dig a vertical hole, drop a cylinder coffin in. Done. The threading is just unnecessary effort and over-design. Reply to this comment
It sure is a different idea, but a good idea is a good idea is a good idea. Don't worry... if you're the one in the coffin, you won't get dizzy.
