That's right, it's the next new snack craze from Japan...Gorilla Boogers:
"A friend of mine saw this product my missus' family was making and said, 'Gee, that looks like gorilla snot!' As soon as I heard that, I knew I had a hit product on my hands..."
I'm not a big candy fan, but I like that link, Crash. Any publication with headlines like "Hooker housewives redefine a hard day's work" gets a bookmark.

There's a espresso joint up in the West 20's that has a round chocolate covered pastry called "Monkey Balls."
makes me wish I had functioning digital camera.

Oh. I thought it said Gorilla burgers.
Posted by: octobersurprise on November 20, 2002 02:19 PMjonmc, I'm sitting here in the west 20's, looking for a reason to get out on this beautiful day. Monkey balls might be that reason. I don't have a sweet tooth, but my wife most assuredly does. So where's this espresso joint?

Posted by: jonmc on November 20, 2002 03:26 PMSo Tizzie, where did you see these hooker housewives?
Posted by: witchstone on November 20, 2002 03:30 PMCheck out http://www.gotapex.com
They post great deals and codes from dell.com, amazon, officemax etc.
I think officemax was the $200 elph.

Posted by: liam on November 20, 2002 03:57 PMThanks Liam, but I was just trying to make a joke (albeit a poor one).
Posted by: witchstone on November 20, 2002 04:16 PMI half suspected that, but by then the desire to spell out "The Mainichi Daily News" had taken a complete hold of me.
Posted by: liam on November 20, 2002 04:48 PMUnderstandable. I myself welcome our Mainichi Daily News Overlords. I'm just full of bad jokes today, it seems. I think it was the kimchi.
Posted by: witchstone on November 20, 2002 05:14 PMKimchi makes you even funnier! A bit whiffy as well, though.

The sidebar's a killer too!

It was an existential dilemma, but the panties won.
Forget gorilla boogers - what about hippo poo? This is from Andy Gray's delightful Japanese Window blog:
Hippo Love
April 30, 2002
The TV was playing a children's program this afternoon. My eyes wandered to the set, and I saw it was a segment about hippopotamuses. Hippos are funny all by themselves, so I thought I'd watch for a minute. Just then I saw a young hippos lick another hippos right on the bottom. I thought to myself, "Whoa, how did that get past the editors?" "Honey," I said to my wife, "they're doing a program about hippopotamuses, and they just showed a young hippo licking its mother's bottom. Oh my gosh! They just showed it again, and there are pink hearts on the screen!"
My wife came in. A song came on that was straight out of the seventies, but I couldn't understand the words. A cute, cartoon mommy hippo was on screen, and a cute baby hippo. The mommy hippo served the baby hippo a little plate that looked like a brown muffin, or was it a muffin?! It looked even more like a little poo. The baby hippo ate the brown stuff, then some grass, and then looked really happy. After that, two disco singers with puffy hair came on the screen, along with the happy baby hippo, and little poo-poo platters started scrolling vertically.
"What are they singing?" I asked, as I turned up the volume. Hitomi concentrated, smiled, and said, "They're singing that Mommy hippo would give anything for her baby. Even her poo." The song ended and as the credits rolled my wife added, "The name of the song is 'Ai no unch.'
That means, "The Poo of Love"
I'm 34 years old, and I never knew that little hippos ate their mother's poo. Personally, I always thought that regurgitation pushed the boundaries of what I really needed to know. So maybe it was better this way."
So how long before "Ai No Unch" makes it onto one of our swap CDs?
