| Last night I got a craving for Kraft Dinner Egg Noodles. I thought it would be simple enough to grab one from Walmart. I went in and all there was were a million other varieties except the very one I wanted. So I figured I’d just get it from the Save-On next door […]
| This week, one of our readers tipped us off on a story about beauty in Japan. For the second straight year, Japan will be represented in one of the Big 4 beauty pageants by a poised, intelligent, strong woman who happens to be racially mixed and unwaveringly proud of who she is. Last […]
| In third grade, there was a kid I would barter with — me: sugar in gelatinous forms; him: temporary access at reading time to a grocery bag full of Mad magazines I adored for their amusing and mind-bending fold-ins.

In 1991, while performing logging work, a local man, now cave guide, by the name of Hồ Khanh discovered Hang Son Doong in central Vietnam near the border of Laos. Numerous attempts to rediscover the cave failed until in 2009 Khanh’s […]
Last weekend, a friend of mine introduced me to Just Kidding News founded by Los Angeles based comedy duo Bart Kwan and Joe Jo. I’m not familiar with their entire body of work but I like what I saw in the video below. In this session, we hear about artist Yang Liu who has gained […]
