Herro Flom Japan

Every time I pass this sign, I can't help wondering what exactly a "fetish bar" is and what people do there. Can you order a Tom Collins with a stiletto-heeled kick in the nuts chaser? If you ask for a bottle of beer does the waitress ram it up your ass? Alas, I will never find out. My only fetish is for brainy geek chicks who wear wire rim glasses and can code in languages I've barely heard of.

The teen spray-painted the arm white and planted it in a flower pot, and then took his mother's head to a police station, where he turned himself in, police said.

I hope my wife and I raise our children to deal with stress through more healthy methods. If you suddenly stop hearing from me…we failed.

This is the kind of news from Japan I suspect is the norm. Am I right or wrong? I'll admit that it's a fact, as reported a few days ago by the Asahi Shimbun, that that a town called Omachi in Nagano Prefecture is selling rice crackers with wholesome waspy goodness baked right in.

But if you come away with only one new bit of knowledge after reading my blog, I hope it's the realization that this kind of stuff makes the news because it's not normal.

All the weird, zany, wacky news from Japan like this you read on blogs? Most of it is considered weird here too. I've seen and eaten all kinds of sembei throughout my 18 years of living here, but you could live out your whole life in this country and never come across any kind of food with bugs in it on purpose. The thing is, I bet if I started posting news like this more often, my readership and Google ranking (currently 4, which is pretty darn good) would increase. I refuse to do that. In fact, I try my best to do the opposite: show you what daily life is really like (i.e. kinda boring, really).

But I have to admit, I'd love to try jibachi sembei. If it passes for "food" somewhere in the world, I'll eat it. Whenever there's something on a menu that's outrageous or I don't know what exactly it is, that's what I order.

And please, call them "sembei," not "rice crackers." It irks me it when people call food by its description instead of its real name.

The blog for a TV Tokyo music/variety show called "Ya-Ya-Yah" has a link to my site in their blogroll. It's on at 6:30 to 7pm Saturdays, but I couldn't tell you what channel because I don't watch TV.

Maybe they like burritos…
