I was in LA a few months ago and my Korean co-worker said to me one night that the Korean food in LA, I’ve got to try because they are way better than the ones he gets from home.  And who is to argue with him when he is orginally from Korean right.

Korean Town in LA was the place we went and the BBQ was pretty good but moreso the dippings that came with it.  You know that they are mostly home made because of their robust in taste and the beef was so soft and tender, it just slid down my throat.   And don’t miss on the kimchis they offer, i try everyone of them and amused everyone of my co-workers in LA.

: Looks at customer.
: I’d like to rent this please.
: It’s already rented.
: Oh that’s what that means.

What killed this great console?  Sega’s last foray into the console hardware market?  I believe piracy had a strong hand in it.  Don’t get me wrong, normally when the corporate big-wigs start blaming piracy for the loss of billions of fun bux in the entertainment industry I just roll my eyes.  A lot of pirates wouldn’t buy the item anyway, even if that was their only choice, the ‘industry’ loses nothing from those people.  But in the case of the Dreamcast it was just too easy to play copied games and I feel that it really hurt their software sales.  You didn’t even need to install a mod chip or run any kind of crack on the console itself.  Download a game, run a little file to crack it, burn it to a CD and you normally had a perfectly working copy of the game.

I could be wrong in all of this of course, but I’m too lazy to bother doing more in-depth research into SEGAs reasons for letting such a good piece of hardware die an early death.  I think I’m right (at least somewhat) and that’s good enough for me.

Thinking that something was amiss I went over to check on the stuff he had walked past and after several minutes figured out that something was in fact missing.  I went down to the office to review the security footage and sure enough, at the time when the girl shouted over to him, he was in the middle of putting a box into his jacket, but he put that back on the shelf.  The item he stole, he stuffed down his coat sleeve, was a 10 pack of blank cassette tapes.  Yep, it’s hard to enough to believe that we still have such a thing in stock let alone someone wanting to steal them.

After being picked up 20 minutes later by the police, stolen goods still in his possession, he even said to the cops “yeah it was pretty stupid to steal that, I should have taken something better..”   My immediate reponse to that was “He shouldn’t have been stealing anything in the first place!”  What an idjit.

Hey man you wanna buy a 17″ CRT monitor?
Nah, I’ve got a bunch in stock already but no one wants them, everyone wants an LCD these days.
The day everyone has one of those is the day I become president.

walks in holding a copy of NHL 2003 for GameCube
Any way I can trade this for another game?
Not for something that old, I have those in a $5 bin and they still don’t sell
Oh, well can you give me $5 for it?
We only sell them for $5 ourselves!

Take this shot of Uma Thurman getting out of a car for instance, yup, those are panties. *yawn*

Wouldn’t it just make more sense to watch some of her movies? She’s bound to be wearing underwear in at least one of them, without a pesky skirt or dress in the way you can just admire the full blown panty goodness.

Our first story comes courtesy of some moronic kids who like to choke themselves to get a short high. When you cut off oxygen to the brain, you get dizzy, and apparently kids all over think this is a cool thing to do. Riiiight. Stupid idjits. Over 80 children under the age of 19 in the US alone have died since 1996 by playing this ‘game’. Many of them were alone, ‘playing’ by themselves, which to me reeks of suicide in at least some of those cases.

The possibility of this game killing you is only one of the bad side effects. Severe brain damage can also occur when the brain doesn’t get it’s oxygen. Spinal damage or neck injuries are also possible since belts and ropes around the neck are often used as the method of choking.

For the most part, parent’s are rather uneducated in this matter. I’m in my mid 30s and I had never heard of choking game before, I guess my generation (or at least the people I grew up with) weren’t such idjits. ‘No choking yourself’ has just made it onto the list of things my daughter needs to be warned about when she gets older. Actually I think I’ll just make her read this blog since by the time she can read it’ll be full of stupid shit that people shouldn’t do. =)
