French jackass Remi Gaillard is completely hilarious. The banana peels and the speed camera at the end push this clip over the top!

Something you might not know about Meat Bun co-founder Scott is that he has a gift for pachinko. When we visited Akihabara a few years ago, with the above Evangelion promo was running at a pachinko hotspot — no photos allowed inside — his natural ball bearing aiming skills surfaced. We later had his wrists professionally gauged. Both joints have an average suppleness rating of 9.41, practically unheard of in a caucasian.

Sadly, as it appears that Tokyo Game Show is not in my future plans, I’m even more devastated to learn of the release of 24: The Pachislot, recently promoted by Carlos “Tony Almeda” Barnard and bikini model Aki Hoshino in Tokyo to great effect. There’s a PlayStation 2 version coming, but it just won’t be the same without the blaring sounds, the stench of Marlboros and the intense confusion of a pachinko parlor.

At least there’s shitty art.

Having just seen Keifer and Carlos at Comic-Con — this is about as hard as I nerd out, by the way — makes the inaccessibility of 24: The Pachislot that much harder on my being.

Perhaps the most distressing thing about skipping the annual Tokyo trip this year is that no Japanese commuters will find restful slumber upon our shoulders.

Consider this opportunity missed. I’m about as interested in hanging out with the anime obsessive set as I am visiting another convention center. Don’t get me wrong, I was raised on Robotech and Tranzor Z — aka The Super Dimension Fortress Macross + Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross + Genesis Climber Mospeada and Mazinger Z — and the Los Angeles Convention Center cafeteria is one of LA’s gastronomic delights, but my anime interests pretty much start and stop with giant robots. That said, I’m currently kicking myself for not making the trip for this weekend’s Anime Expo, pretty much because the above needed to be photographed far more than once. And seriously, where else but LA do you have access to ripped cosplayers? Nowhere is your answer.

Did you know that one-half of Meat Bun was almost the corn dog king of New England? If it weren’t for the raising of capital, the securing of business licenses, the renting of commercial property and about 3,000 other things it usually requires to do something like open a corn dog-only restaurant, one of us could be basking in the thousands that only a corn dog driven empire could finance. Alas, Meat Bun and the getting the hell out of a beach neighborhood took priority, much to the dismay of corn dog starved masses.

It’s hard to get corn dogs–fresh corn dogs, that is–in most non-carnival, non-festival locations. It’s like work. Thank God for Corn Dog Castle. For just the price of a ticket to Disneyland, plus parking, one can enjoy massive, artery clogging corn dogs for just $6 American. Speaking of American, they call them “amerikan doggu” in parts of the world where the term “corn dog” would just induce nausea. Curiously, this is also a country where corn and mayonnaise on a pizza is considered logical.

That’s Patrick, Meat Bun artist, friend, and gainfully unemployed contributing member of society. He was responsible for the fantastic Agro Polo design you should probably own. He’s enjoying the final third of a spicy corn dog from the Castle, something we don’t recommend doing prior to riding Big Thunder Mountain.

Have you ever seen something so retarded and out of place that it ends up being cool and working? Well, the addition of Yoda and Darth Vader into the Soul Calibur universe may be just that. The nine year old in me flipped out when Namco announced that the two guest-stars will be appearing in the next installment on their respective color-coded gaming systems.

Please tell me Voldo will have an alternate C-3PO costume.

I love BEAMS T. I love their ‘Art for Everyday’ philosophy. My first trip to Japan I made sure to make a pilgrimage to their flagship store in Harajuku.

BEAMS Co. is now into everything. There’s a BEAMS Records, a BEAMS Modern Living, and even a Uniform Circus BEAMS. It’s nice to see BEAMS spreading their rays of light into multiple arenas. But last week I think they jumped the shark with this BEAMS design:

What the hell is that? The new Subaru Impreza is already having a hard time as it is.  Does it really need to be dressed up like a creamsicle flavored Jelly Belly?

Now this auto fashion blunder inspired me to do a little digging around the Internets, and what I found is even more disturbing.  A Bathing Ape took one of the sexiest cars on the planet, and made it a complete abomination:

This was the 1001 HP, 253 MPH Bugatti Veyron. These hand built cars come in the widest spectrum of color combinations, letting you even customize the supple leather interior in an array of 144 complimentary selections. I have spent hours dreaming up my perfect Veyron, but I am kind of partial to the hyper-rare and paintless Pur Sang version, clothed only in brushed aluminum and clear coated carbon fiber.

But pink on diseased inner colon was never intended be a color option. Ever. Period.
