feel good about your fitness

… compared with this guy, comedian Jason Auer:

An Idiot Abroad – Japan

The last episode of the 2nd season sees Karl Pilkington on a mission to climb Fuji. … And to come up with an invention — inflatable pants.

I don’t know why I like An Idiot Abroad. It’s absurd. But there are little moments of brilliance.

Karl almost liked Zen Buddhist meditation. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Almost.

Filipina with Western (older) man

On the resort island of Boracay in the Philippines you see many of these culturally and age mismatched couples.

I don’t blame you for jumping to conclusions.

You’re probably right. 🙂

Yet some of these couples are in Boracay to be married. Many men of European ancestry, past their prime, look for younger Asian brides.

It’s not always the case that the rich dirty old man is taking advantage of the young, naïve woman from a developing country, more interested in the bulge of his wallet than anything else.

There’s a perfectly innocent story behind some of these photos.

It’s December 23rd — Festivus.

oranges cause obesity

The great thing about a free all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet in a 5 star tropical hotel is that you can choose exactly what fruits & vegetables you want, in exactly the quantities you want.

Avoiding fattening oranges can keep your most important meal under 300 calories.

… by the way, does anyone recognize this exotic food?

Doesn’t look edible.

free the Salarymen

The plight of the Salaryman has come to my attention.

These are near indentured slaves who toil day-after-day at labours they would never do voluntarily.

The sad thing is … they believe they are free. For some reason they cannot see the chains of mortgage, dependents and pets non-Robotic. They kiss butt with a smile.

The only upside is that astonishing compliant beings can be taught amusing tricks.
