MasterChugs Theater: ‘Jiro Dreams of Sushi’

Is it possible to create something so pure in its simplicity that it disappears?

It wasn’t until I heard several people gush about this film on various podcasts here and there that I became interested in checking it out. However, Jiro Dreams of Sushi has garnered such a strong positive reaction from friends and critics that it would be silly of my not to at least give it a shot.

Graphic image ads being run by congressional candidate, include picture of his face

If the sensational television series Justified has taught us anything, it’s that Kentucky runs a little bit more differently than everyone else.

Beacham claims that the main focus of the ads isn’t primarily to elect him, but to shock viewers into voting and ending Obama’s run as president. Despite this cunning plan, people seem to be more upset about the images in the ad.

The finger-eating fishes of Idaho

Fish eat different things. Some eat algae, some eat other fishes’ crap and some just eat other fish. In Idaho, one fisherman caught a trout that loves finger food–specifically, human fingers.

A fisherman recently found a human finger in the belly of a trout, and amazingly, investigator were able to find its owner. The man’s name Haans Galassi, and he lost all of the fingers on his left hand in a wakeboarding accident. Yes, the man who lost his fingers is named Haans. Don’t laugh, you insensitive bastards!

Galassi said he didn’t want the finger back, losing them while he adjusted the rope towing him had been trauma enough. So be vigilant, warriors, the fish are out there, and they now have a taste for human flesh.
