Is this weird?
Back to work now. Yeeeep so basically that means you can expect intermittent blog entries and a total lack of upkeep on this site for the next 11 months.
I jest. I’m currently toying with the idea of a video podcast and wondering what I might do. However since talking to a friend living in Hong Kong, it seems that I might be too easily shocked nowadays and the OMG-factor of certain foods which I rate as OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG in Japan, are in fact commonplace throughout Asia.
For example, pizza with fish eggs on it? How about pizza with broccoli and caesar salad dressing on it?
Perhaps in the 3 years I’ve lived here, the rest of the world has slowly become infected with this kind of violently demented knack for making pizza no longer fit for humans, or perhaps Hong Kong is just as bonkers as Japan is when it comes to pizza toppings. Either way, I’d like to know if you find that kind of thing weird / gross or not, or whether I’m sliding a bit off course, like an olympic bobsledder speeding down the track who had accidentally tucked his penis down a trouser leg that day instead of laying it in the aerodynamically-friendly “up” position.
In other news:
This photo of mine made it into flickr’s “interesting” list recently, although I have no idea why. Personally I thought the shot was a total cliché - I simply took it idly, whilst waiting for a train to arrive. Obviously that means I’m awesome.
I like the picture. Pizza toppings are so varied nowadays that I think think you may be slightly out-of-touch. Broc. w/ Ceasar Dressing is not weird — stick to the Japanese junk food - it’s your funniest writing. Your videos about food also were especially funny, but certainly part of it is that you are usually drunk. Your readers seem to enjoy them as well. You may want to consider your health, though, above our interests.
on another note: loved your picture of the monolith - I could hear “2001″ theme playing in the background.
Of course you’re awesome. I still miss Kyushu Yong Fook though.
Pizza with chicken is weird to me, but I might just be boring. Isn’t it funny how you put effort into something, and it’s always the thing you did without thinking that earns praise?
If you do a video podcast can you rasterbate my face all over the wall behind you? It’ll almost be as good as doing a podcast over the intarwebfone-ythingpenis.
Fish eggs on pizza is fucking weird. Broccoli isn’t so weird, salad dressing is ALWAYS going to be weird, and while I’ve had a pizza with nachos on it (red beans, corn chips and sour cream) that was ADVERTISED as being odd. I like the video reviews, it was one of them that actually got me hooked on the site.
Pizza with nachos on it sounds like manna from the gods.
try pizza with curry topping. It’s nice and weird in a way.
Yeah, the picture would be pretty friggin cliché except for the sign showing through from behind the train. That apparently was what elevated your picture from the ‘I hate this photo OMG you totally suck die DIE DIE!!!11′ category to ‘interesting’ … quite the shift - impressive.
I’d have to agree with flickr and say that the photo is interesting because the glowing sign in the back is in pretty good focus with respect to the uberly fast moving train in the foreground. Anyhow, the inherent definition of cliché means that at one point it was novel and cool and awesome.
As for weird pizza toppings that I like: smoked salmon with red onions, capers, fresh mozzerella, and fresh lemon juice is fantastic.
Pizza with Nachos was “fucking awesome” I beleive was the first thing out of my mouth. BTW- for some reason- the “things I do” column is overlapping this, so I can’t actually see what I’m typing half the time.
Perhaps they meant ‘interesting’ like pizza with fish eggs is interesting.
Best pizza I ever had was the old Marks & Sparks one with a floury crust and thick chilli con carne on top. The dough was ‘ned’ by Michaelangelo and the chilli was lactated by Mexican angels. (Well, Chillean really, but Mexican scanned better)
Who’s with me though? High ten!
It’s ALL weird. And I’m Chinese. So that’s saying a lot.
Perhaps Japan is like Korea (where I’m at)… isolated from the rest of the world, where media dilutes your senses into believing: EVERYTHING WAS INVENTED AND IS UNIQUE IN KOREA.
3 years… that’s LOADS of dilution. Should be loads more of weird stuff that you’d find when you do get a chance to pop back home/other countries.
Has anybody tried Jesus gingerbread cookies?
They taste exactly like gingerbread, and they didn’t strengthen my faith in Jesus.
You need a Chocolate Jesus. Or a Testamint.
euymahgosh. fooky is alive. i havent ‘read’ u for close to a year or so post-Kumamoto.
missed u much, luvly. and a happy twentyohsix at that.
kisses*
If ginger biscuits don’t restore your faith in the Lord I fear nothing will.
Do you have a pizza with pig liver and intestines covered in herbal soup flavoured sauce?
not on me right now, no.
Paul, is that the chinese medicine cure for testicular cancer?
No, it’s the cause. And not just in China.
the fish egg pizza kinda made my foot twitch. what does that mean?
Shepherds delight.
I think the photo was placed on the interesting list because you were able to capture the Japanese sign behind you as clearly as if the train were actually still, the fact that the windows movement didn’t affect the images reflected on it is quite,well…interesting If there was no sign I doubt they would have cared so much. I think the pic is alright but ive seen you do better work, kind of makes me wonder who votes on what’s interesting on flickr.
Like the new design of your site, doesn’t look as busy as the previous one.
keep up the good work!
Yeah, those pizzas are still f’d up. Nachos: good. Curry: good. Cod testicles and thousand island dressing: Pukable.
You should just take your pic getting on Flickr ‘interesting’ as a compliment. Sometimes the mundane can become a little extraordinary.
Just wanted to say that I find this new design incredibly hard on the eyes.
EYES.
Not cock, ya bummer.
It’s grey text on a white background. How is that any different to before?
You just mean you don’t like the design, which is fair enough.
cunt.
Jon, Jon,….are all your fans such potty mouth?
so, u r single and available now? wowowowow
Hey, I just found out the other day that capers are nasturtium flower buds. They still remind me of little alien pods though.
dude, we have pizza with pork floss in Singapore. Gross.

pizza with some sliced fillet and sauce bearnaise.. oh mama..
Broccoli is not weird on pizza. That’s quite common in the U.S. The other crap is disgusting. I think corn on pizza is absolutely bizzare, although it’s popular in India and the UK.
