Why is this parked in a residential area on the border of West LA, and Santa Monica. While on a walkabout – yes a seriously long one. I stumbled across this vehicle. I don’t know how many of these are on the roads, but this one was perfect. It was a real Weinermobile. I’m not sure if the streets are safer with this vehicle riding around, but they are definitely better. Can a car be more phallic? Rise to the occasion.

“Are you Joe?”Joe stops to consider…“Why, yes I am.” He answers wisely.“I thought so…” the brunette says.

The place called Torafuku is known for it’s rice. It’s cooked in an old fashioned manner in stone pots. They mix it for you, so it’s not just like this. It ends up being a fried rice type of dish that’s a must have when you come here. Eating rice still works. Thats’ a meat dish, sort of like a bulgoki, or something like that. It tasted great and was fatty. That’s Yaz Noya. Say what up to Yaz. I’ve known Yaz for ages when she was doing Sony related work at Tofu records. Kampachi carpaccio. Tuna salad Chicken A crazy smelt and shiso leaf “spring roll” That’s Chi-lan Lieu. Say what’s up to Chi-lan at Yabu in West LA. I’ve known Chi-lan since her G4 days. She interviewed my on her show.

I’ve known David since Uglydolls day 1. Taking air pics.
