Fried Ratatoullie…

Yuck is all I have to say. Rat meat (also eaten in China and Vietnam) became popular in Taiwan in the 1940s and 1950s among people who couldn’t afford chicken or pork. Ho-la, a rural restaurant in Chiayi county serves ten rat-themed meals including rat soup, black pepper-dipped and deep-fried rat. The diner goes through about 40 pounds of rat meat per day.


The rat is also part of the Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures as some of the traditional diet.

Warehouse Memberships

Back when the wife and I were much younger we got talked into purchasing a membership in one of those member only warehouses. The membership itself was several hundred dollars, so I’m sure the guys selling them made a good bit for each one the sold. I was way out toward the area where I live now and we never did use it very often so it was certainly not worth it at the time, not to mention the fact that I wasn’t making much money at the time either.

Just one of those things I guess. Now that I am making enough I don’t use anything like that, although with directbuy you get to choose from brand name stuff at manufacturer prices. That’s why they have to offer a membership, otherwise the company wouldn’t be able to make any money since there is absolutely no markup on the stuff. That’s pretty nice, particularly for stuff like furniture, which has HUGE markups.

Darren Mack Gets 36 to Life

Darren Mack is going to have to serve at least 36 years in prison for the murder of his wife Charla as well as the attempted murder of divorce judge Charles Weller in June of 2006.
According to the story over at one of the CNN blogs,

The sentence was part of a plea deal Mack struck when he pleaded guilty last year to his wife’s murder and no contest to attempting to murder the judge. He claimed he killed in self defense.
Mack stabbed his wife, nearly severing her head, on June 12, 2006, and then went on to the courthouse here, where he fired one sniper shot, from a distance the length of three football fields. The bullet smashed through double-paned glass, hitting Weller, a family court judge, squarely in the chest.

During sentencing the judge was very emotional particularly when discussion the Mack’s 10-year-old daughter Erika.

Joran Confesses

I finally found a version of the confession video with English subtitles.

Natalee Holloway’s mother and reporter Peter R. DeVries were on Larry King. You can watch the video over at CNN. She brings up the point I mentioned last week about how investigators in Aruba kept asking Natalee’s parents over and over if Natalee had ever had a history of epileptic seizures.

The Aruban authorities have also questioned Joran Van der Sloot again, this time in the Netherlands. deny. deny. deny. He is claiming that everything on the video tape is lies and that he was just making it up so that he could get a job with the bad guys 🙂

He was apparently interviewed for two hours again and he denied any type of role in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance according to the prosecutor’s office. He claims that he was under the influence of Marijuana when he was secretly videotaped saying that he was with Holloway when she died. In the video tape he also says that he couldn’t be sure that she was dead when they disposed of the body. That’s just messed up.

The Aruban courts have said that there is enough evidence to re-open the investigation, which they obviously have, but not enough to arrest Joran, so the scum sucking loser is still walking around free. The prosecutor’s office has appealed that decision and a three-judge panel is supposed to rule on that this next week.

Investigators have taken a hard drive from Joran’s computer as well as a laptop in order to look for new evidence.

Sometimes You Just Have to Surf for Porn (NSFW)

I don’t get a lot of time to surf too many web sites lately. Mostly news sites and I try to hit my favorite blogs on a daily basis as well, although as much as I have been working lately I haven’t even been able to get to those. Every once in awhile I will get the chance to review something more adult in nature such as Sexy TLX (Not Safe For Work!). It’s an adult site that’s updated daily with free videos and pics.

The also have a Free Adult Gallery as well but the cool thing about the site is that there aren’t any irritating pop-ups, pop-unders or any of that other junk. Of course the wife will probably kick my rear end later in the evening for going over to the site so I could post this but hey, that’s life. I’ve been married almost twenty years, I’m used to the occasional beat down by now 🙂

Oh, BTW, there are also some pretty cool Hot Porn Videos if you are into that sort of stuff. I guess it’s pretty tame around here. About the only stuff I post is Thursday Thongs and Tramp Stamp Tuesday. I was pretty well chastised the other day for not putting a NSFW work label on it. I will make sure and do that from now on.
