Bill Murray on Reddit
Bill Murray just did an AMA on Reddit. I’m a huge fan, so the whole thing is worth reading.
But one comment brought back memories. Someone asked:
What was the oddest experience you had in Japan?
His full answer is interesting:
The oddest… well, I was eating at a sushi bar. I would go to sushi bars with a book I had called “Making out in Japanese.” it was a small paperback book, with questions like “can we get into the back seat?” “do your parents know about me?” “do you have a curfew?”
And I would say to the sushi chef “Do you have a curfew? Do your parents know about us? And can we get into the back seat?”
And I would always have a lot of fun with that, but that one particular day, he said “would you like some fresh eel?” and I said “yes I would.” so he came back with a fresh eel, a live eel, and then he walked back behind a screen and came back in 10 seconds with a no-longer-alive eel. It was the freshest thing I had ever eaten in my life. It was such a funny moment to see something that was alive that no longer was alive, that was my food, in 30 seconds.But the book reference cracks me up. I spent nine months in Japan (working for Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey) in 1989. And we had that book.
It was hilarious. Just like he said, it was a phrase book with real world slang, but also hilarious random relationship/sexual phrases.
I hadn’t thought of that book in over 20 years…

Amazon Reviews for Sugarless Gummies
You can’t make this up…
Wow, they don’t make my blood sugar go up at all. Pretty sure it’s because any food currently contained in my stomach is instantly liquefied, then pressurized to several thousand psi, blown out the backside with never a chance to be digested. I’m surprised these are even legal
As I type this review, I’m on the toilet, surrounded by my dearest family and friends and a priest.
I could quote more, but you get the idea…

Classroom Supply Loan
I’ll assume this is well intentioned, but the premise is crazy.
- We don’t provide enough money to supply the classroom.
- We don’t pay the teachers enough money to pay for the extra supplies, so…
- We offer the teachers a low interest loan to pay for supplies.
Really? That’s the best we can do? Isn’t the very existence of this loan type a huge red flag?

A Wee Question
This blog post asks a simple question. If climate change is bogus, why did Monsanto (farming seed company) pay a billion dollars for a company whose business model is to help farmers deal with the crazy fluctuations of climate change (mission statement: Our mission is to help all the world’s people and businesses manage and adapt to climate change).
Here’s the long read from the New Yorker.
