new discoveries of japanese game shows

Crazy marathon crazy all stars slippery slip n slide race the don’t laugh game linked to the counting in English game okay not so sure if this is funny or disturbing and not for the faint of stomach perhaps but a friendly game of pass the animal (crab, lizard, [...]
the highest form of chocolate
i read this t-shirt once that said "forget love, i want to fall in chocolate" - now while i disagree completely, because love is a pretty amazing thing, i do still like the idea of the possibility of one day falling into chocolate... mmmm cho-co-late [in best homer simpson impressioned voice] but until that happens, i thort it was time to share my secrets with the world - i like chocolate on occasion... or occasions...

lausanne reflections: pied the piper
listened to an ephesians 3 devotional by john piper who i have heard a lot about but have never heard or read any of his stuff before - really want to go back and watch that clip without sound because he looks a bit like a muppet on steroids - very energetic in movement anyways i wasn't overly inspired by most of what he said until right at the end when he basically said there [...]
