While poking around Lotteria Japan’s website after posting yesterday’s Ramen Burger article, I also discovered this insanity… a nine patty cheeseburger created to promote the DVD & Blu-Ray release of the new Evangelion: Q movie!!

“Nine” in Japanese is “kyu”, and sometimes shorthanded as “Q”, hence the number of patties piled on here.

It also comes with a collectible Spear of Longinus “fork”, as featured in the anime, to help you keep your burger together.

And one lucky fan will win a life-size Rei Ayanami figure!

The fork makes this better than the Windows 7 Burger promotion a few years back.

This is a photo of the best and worst purchase I have ever made in my life. It is a kotatsu. For those of you unfamiliar, a kotatsu is a Japanese heated table. The top of the table comes off, you put a blanket on in the cold seasons, and then put the table top back on. There are small space heaters underneath the whole table and when you stick your feet under there, it’s a toasty oven of pure bliss. It’s great on heating bills because I don’t turn on my heat, just my kotatsu. It’s the best and the worst purchase because it’s fucking awesome yet it’s so awesome I never want to leave the thing and end up missing school because who the fuck wants to get out from under a toasty oven of pure bliss? Not this bitch. My advice to you, is that you should totally get a kotatsu but only if you have the will power and self control to not get trapped under there. It’s so addicting, I even sleep under it sometimes…

I only know these from anime, but they always look so amazing and comfortable. Being right in the crappy part of winter, I’d just live under one of these right now.

‘The Town’ by BurningMonk on Deviant Art.

This unusual item was captured by U.S. forces during the Pacific campaigns of World War II. It consists of a pistol known as the 7mm “Baby Nambu” and a samurai sword blade. This item was not a standard Japanese Army item and it is believed that the owner had it fabricated on his own initiative. It is further believed that it was intended to be used in frontal-type assaults.

City of Lights.

No. I’ve been informed it really isn’t…

If a ninja was required to travel widely round an enemy’s territory observing the layout of his troops and the defensive features of his castles, what better cover could there be but to assume the role of a komuso, the sect of Zen monks who played the flute and wore enormous baskets over their heads?
