Your Job Does Not Suck Compared to this Guy's


Any comment on this seems like it'd be overkill. Mime in 3 meter tall paper hat showing his mad ballet chops. What more is there to say? I guess by way of explanation, I could mention that the drugstores in my city seem to be locked in some kind of weird turf war over the covered shopping arcade that runs through the downtown. Most of the shops just have a guy standing out front with a megaphone screaming the daily specials. This store's method approaches performance art. It's kinda hard to see due to my blurry photo, but the dude was holding a fist full of leaflets for his employer's store in his right hand.
As a special bonus, in the background you can see a couple of the planters placed in the arcade by our benevolent city administrators to keep us from getting run over by crazy motorists.

Flaming Chocolate Goodness

It has been awhile since a blogworthy snack food travesty caught my eye, so I was happy to find Game Chocolate Ahiiiii. The caption at the top of the bag ominously reads "someone will be sacrificed." It's a simple but sadistically brilliant premise. Each bag contains 12 chocolates, 9 of which are relatively delicious. However, 3 chocolates contain a healthy dose of finely ground chili pepper. Thus each package constitutes a sort of culinary version of Russian Roulette, only with fewer showers of skull and brain fragments.
