Donkey Kong is an A-hole!

Donkey Kong is an A-hole! I never knew I would have such strong feelings for a video game character, but I do. I hate him. I hate everything about him. I will show you some proof of why I think he’s an a-hole.

Donkey_Kong-Barrel_Throwing_Gorilla
First off let me start by saying that only an a-hole would kidnap a princess. Then after the little plumber comes to save her, this jerk-off starts throwing barrels at him. What could be anymore of a dick thing to do than that?


This video clearly shows a prime example of Donkey Kong being a dick. For no reason what-so-ever DK, plows into metal Mario. He clearly wasn’t going for that loot.  Then he looks back with a smile on his face. If I was there, I would punch him in his stupid face!

Donkey_Kong_taunt

Look at his taunting move from Super Smash Bros Brawl. Let me start with that stupid tie. Only an a-hole would wear nothing, but a tie.  Then he is so stupid he has his initials printed on it.  Is his tongue sticking out?  Who does he think he is…Michael Jordan?  He deserves to get his face punched in for impersonating one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

donkey_kong_punch_spyro

Look at this cute little purple dragon and there is Donkey Kong getting ready to punch him.  Clearly Donkey Kong knows there is a witness and yet he doesn’t care.  He’s still going to sucker punch Spyro.

Donkey_Kong-Yoshi

Here is another example of Donkey Kong showing he’s got anger issues.  Yoshi is walking along and “Ka-pow” he gets punched in the face by this big, hairy, jerk.

 

angry_donkey_kong
Look at that expression on his face?  Does any part of that scream happy?  He obviously has all sorts of anger issues.  Go see a doctor already.

Why would anyone flex like that? only a person who would kiss themselves in the mirror would do that. How conceited.

 

 

I truly hate everything about Donkey Kong!

Inner Peace

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then You Are Probably
The Family Dog!

Free Sex with Every Fill-Up

A petrol station owner in Dublin was trying to increase his sales, so he put up a sign that read, “Free Sex with Every Fill-Up.” Paddy pulled in, filled his tank and asked for his free sex. The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10, and said that if he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex. Paddy guessed 8, and the proprietor said, “You were very close, the lucky number was 7. Sorry, no sex this time.” A week later, Paddy, with his friend Mick, pulled in for another fill-up. Again Paddy asked for his free sex. The proprietor again gave him the same story, and asked him to guess the correct number. Paddy guessed 2. The proprietor said, “Sorry, it was 3, you were very close, but no free sex this time.” As they were driving away, Mick said to Paddy, “I think that game is rigged and he doesn’t really give away free sex at all.” Paddy replied, “No it’s genuine enough Mick. My wife won twice last week.”

The 88th Academy Awards the 2016 Oscars

The stage is set. The red carpet is out. It is time for the 2016 Academy Awards being hosted by Chris Rock. Here are some images of what Hollywood looks like for the stars to start showing up.  I took different photos from different perspectives to give a good view of what Hollywood and Hollywood Boulevard looks like in preparation for the 88th Academy Awards, the 2016 Oscars.  I really tried to focus on visually letting you know what it is like to walk around and see the pageantry of the Oscars from different angles and different points of view as if you were there.

The Oscars 2016　第88回アカデミー授賞式

今年のホストはクリス・ロックです。
最多ノミネート作品は、レオナルド・ディカプリオ主演の「The Revenant レヴェナント」で、
次に多かったのが日本でも大ヒットした「マッドマックス怒りのデス・ロード」です。
ディカプリオは初オスカーを手にするかが注目されていますね。
シルベスター・スタローンは1977年にロッキーで主演男優賞にノミネートされて以来だそうです。
長編アニメーション部門で「思い出マーニー」がノミネートされていますね。
受賞すれば千と千尋の神隠し以来の快挙だそうです。

大ファンという訳ではないし詳しくもないのですが、
なぜかアカデミー授賞式前夜に2年連続で訪れてしまったハリウッド。
折角なので写真を撮ってきました。授賞式準備のためにスタッフが働いていました。
去年よりあまり飾り付けされていない印象です。相変わらず人は沢山いました。

2016 Academy Awards Man of the Hour

thekumachan_2016_Oscars-1409Here is the man of the hour.

What Part of Your Body Goes to Heaven First?

The nun teaching Sunday school was speaking to her class one morning and she asked the question, ‘When you die and go to Heaven which part of your body goes first?’

Suzy raised her hand and said, ‘I think it’s your hands.’ ‘Why do you think it’s your hands, Suzy?’ Suzy replied: ‘Because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and God just takes your hands first.’ What a wonderful answer!’, the nun said.

Little Johnny raised his hand and said, ‘Sister, I think it’s your feet.’ The nun looked at him with the strangest look on her face. ‘Now, Johnny , why do you think it would be your feet?’ Johnny said: ‘Well, I walked past Mom and Dad’s bedroom the other night. Mom had her legs up in the air and she was saying: ‘Oh God! I’m coming!’ If Dad hadn’t pinned her down, I reckon we’d have lost her.

The nun had to leave the room.

The circus has officially come to town. Today as I was driving down the road I saw a circus tent setup with semi trucks parked nearby. Here are a couple photos.

A Scouse Tale

A man met a beautiful blonde lady and decided he wanted to marry her right away. She said, ‘But we don’t know anything about each other.’
 
He said, ‘That’s all right, we’ll learn about each other as we go along.’
 
So she agreed, they were soon married, and off they went on a honeymoon at a very nice resort.
 
One morning they were lying by the pool, when he got up off of his towel, climbed up to the 10 meter board and did a two and a half tuck, followed by three rotations in the pike position, at which point he straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on the towel.
 
She said, ‘That was incredible!’
 
He said, ‘I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we’d learn more about each other as we went along.’
 
So she got up, jumped in the pool and started doing lengths. After seventy-five lengths she climbed out of the pool, lay down on her towel and was hardly out of breath.
 
He said, ‘That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?’
 
‘No,’ she said, ‘I was a prostitute in Liverpool but I worked both sides of the Mersey.

There’s Something You Don’t See Everyday

Today as I was driving home from work, I was stopped at a red light and I looked over and saw a dinosaur tied up in the back of a pickup truck. I thought to myself, “There’s something you don’t see everyday.” Then I took a quick photo and drove home.

「ジュリアンのパイは美味しいよ〜」との噂を聞いたので行ってみた。山側へドライブして雪が見たかったというのもある。勝手にジュリアンというレストランがあるのだと思っていた。着いてみたら多くの観光客が各レストランの前に並んでいた。駐車するのも一苦労だった。ジュリアンは小さな町で、レストラン・ホテル・お土産やさんが連なっており、ちょっとした観光地だった。パイ屋さんも数件あったが、JULIAN PIE COMPANYというベタな名前の長蛇の列に並んでみた。数種類のパイとクッキー、マフィンやドーナッツ等があった。$1.95の追加料金でホイップクリーム、アイスクリーム、シナモンソース、キャラメル等のトッピングも可能。コーヒーとホットココアの飲み物があり、水は無料だった。小さい店内で正面入り口前と裏にちょっとしたテラス席があり、そこで食べられるようになっていた。スライスとホールの購入レジが分かれていたので、スライスの方に並んだ。ホームメイド・アップルパイにした。一切れが大きくてThe American Pieでビックした。$3.50だった。味は甘さ控えめ。りんごの酸っぱさも適度にあり、おばあちゃんの手作り感満載で噂通りに美味しかった。気に入ったのでホールでも購入($14.95)。冷蔵庫で保存して１週間。食べる前にレンジで軽く温めてアイスを載せると美味しさが増した。普段パイを食べない娘も気に入って毎日のおやつになった。ジュリアンのレストランも美味しいと高評価だったので、機会があれば今度は食事をしに行ってみたい。

We heard ” The pie of Julian is delicious!”  We wanted to see snow to mountain side too. so we went to Julian.
I thought that there was a restaurant called Julian. But Julian is a small town and good sight-seeing spot. They have many restaurant and hotel and Souvenir shop. Many tourists lined up in front of each restaurant when we arrived.
We had a hard time parking.
A pie shop was several, we lined up in the long line of the name called JULIAN PIE COMPANY. They have Many kinds of pies and cookie & muffin. Pie topping is whip cream and ice cream and cinnamon sauce and caramel with an additional charge ($1.95).
Drink menu is coffee and hot cocoa, and the water was free. The shop is small. However, there is a terrace seat in front and behind a shop. A purchase cash register of the slice was different from a hall. We lined up toward the slice.

I had a homemade apple pie. One slice was big. It was $3.50. The taste is a sweetness reserve. The sourness of the apple was moderate, too and it was full of the handmade feelings of grandmother and was delicious on a rumor street. I bought it in the hall ($14.95). I save it in the refrigerator one week. When I warmed pie before eating. my daughter usually did not eat pie.but she want to eat it every day for a snack. The restaurant of Julian was a high recommend on Yelp. If there is an opportunity, I want to go to the restaurant too.
