And to send ye on your way, we gots a video for ya, me swarthy buccaneers!! …… And ye keepin’ yer hooks off me doubloons, ye scurvy dogs!!
Hahahaha!!! Every once in a while, this lil’ Catgirl does research on some of the elements of an asian film, and while I often find what I need for a review, I also learn some of the goofiest things…..
Here for example is a folklore monster from Japan that just begs for his own movie….. Shirime (尻目 (しりめ) aka “Anus Eye”. I kid you not…. he’s a “real” monster from old Japanese folklore.
The story on him, as quoted from www.obakemono.com, goes as follows:“Long ago, a samurai was walking at night down the road to Kyōto, when he heard someone calling out for him to wait. “Who’s there?!” he asked nervously, only to turn around and find a man stripping off his clothes and pointing his bare buttocks at the flabbergasted traveler. As if this weren’t traumatizing enough, a huge glittering eye then opened up where the strange man’s anus should have been.
The samurai ran away screaming, and this obscene apparition was never seen again.
The haiku poet and artist Buson liked this naughty creature enough to include it among his many paintings of yōkai.”
Yep…. this guy just screams for his own movie where he chases Japanese schoolgirls around….. or maybe the Pang Brothers could use him for the next “The Eye” sequel……
Anyway… obakemono.com is a nifty site full of other goofy critters, so check it out!
I know all the athletes feel safer already knowing the Elite Chinese Military Scooter Police have rolled these babies out for use during the Games!! They’ll paralyze terrorists with laughter!!
I can imagine them now tearing around HK’s next Jackie Chan “Police Story” film right now!! Hahahahaha!!!!
As it’s Friday the 13th, your favorite Catgirl thought this might just be the appropriate news nugget to spring on you……an amusement park in the city of Changchun in northern China has just constructed the world’s largest penis. Apparently…because they could.
A sure way to bring a few extra customers (but maybe put off a few too), this 30-foot phallic named the Sky Pillar is a concrete pole wrapped in straw at the Longwan Shaman Amusement Park. Apparently there is an ancient Traditional Legend that explains it all……..naturally. (I wonder if there is a sacred pilgrimage involved or not…..)
Ancient Legend says that a Shaman hero named Ewenki vanquished a cruel female ruler and gave her a penis totem, telling her to respect males and not kill them at will.
I’m picturing a really cool Martial Arts film by the Shaw Brothers on this one……(and what would be the title?)
One would think that certain things would be self explanatory, but apparently in the interests of promoting good parenting practices……(and for the safety of Kitties everywhere….)
As you know, back in Neko’s college days I was way into the whole cosplay thing, and I’m still interested in it even though I hung up my “ears and tail” years ago….
But not all cosplay is good….some can be downright scary…..like this picture I happened across. This is just the sort of costume that gives even Hamtaro nightmares…Heheehehe!!
