The Taipei Kid

I keep hearing about this Leatherheads movie. I thought it was some sort of sequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but apparently it is about football.

I am not sure which is grosser. Was is it the time I watched a colleague who sat across from me, back during my newspaper days, scrape his front teeth with his nails, inspect the gunk, then eat it? Or was it today when I watched the businessman in the taxi cab next to mine […]

It seems I’ve received a failing blog review and death wish (”Time to Slash the Kid”) from TrippinTV, a site I must say I never heard of until now. The site seems to be a video-version of Forumosa. The Taipei Kid was called “crap” and full of “retarded” articles.
From the review:

We are laughing our heads off at the recent glut of ads and advertorials we’ve been seeing in the English media here that trumpet a certain American airline’s new direct service to San Francisco.

Salon’s latest feature on the death of James Kim mentions another family who had also gotten trapped in the Southern Oregon snow–the Stivers. I don’t feel quite as sorry for the Stivers, who took their kids on a little RV holiday with Grandma and Grandpa Meth Dealer,  as I do for the Kim family. Is […]

I just got back from a short trip to beautiful Klamath Falls. Not exactly Klamath Falls, but more closer to Rocky Point. Before I go any further, I would like to publicly apologize to Pril for not calling, not emailing, not doing a damn thing to let her know I would be in the same […]

I am a sea mail fanatic, and try to avoid air mailing packages as much as I can. Air mail is sooooo overrated for packages. Don’t listen to the post office’s lies about packages taking eight weeks, the rats will eat the packages, blah, blah, blah. They make such a big point of warning you […]
