Watch your step, MADAPAKA!

If you are not filipino, sorry you will not get the joke I stole from Rex Navarette from my post title. Anyways, today I went to a filipino grocery store and picked up a few of my favorite snacks. Now a lot of my posts have been about the deliciousness of Japanese snacks, but I feel I have been leaving out my own ethnicity, so here lol. Got some delicious MILO energy chocolate drink, Royal Tru-Orange soda (THE BEST OF THE BEST!), Stikko chocolate wafer sticks, the ever-so-popular Nagaraya cracker nuts in ADOBO flavor, and 2 flavors (chocolate and caramel) of Moby snack puffs. I've obviously been to lazy to review shit nowadays and that won't change for these, but they are good stuff! Bye.

Here enjoy a short stand up clip from Rex

Extreme Pigouts Vol. 2: Size Matters

Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Extreme Pigouts (yeah I'm totally just gonna steal the title from the show). So after my boring ass, hella early store meeting, I came home with a lot of feelings and emotions because of it. I was angry, tired, sleepy, had to go pee really bad, and most importantly, hungry. So after taking a power nap, I lazily shouted to my sister to get us "that." She came into my room, and just gave me a look, a look of confirmation that she knew what I was talking about, and then she set off on the journey to get this magnificent gem.

Prepare yourself for.....

...the Super Burrito.

Pour the supplied cup of red sauce on this fatty and you're set to go.

So this bad boy comes from a little place in Downey called El Chirito. This huge burrito consists of rice, carne asada, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, sour cream, cheese and beans, and conveniently comes with a side of chips, mainly for the use of scooping up dropped ingredients to make a good nacho chip. I'd estimate this thing weighs a hefty 2-3 lbs. That's a lot of food. And this guy sets you back about $8. Not too shabby.

Well, well, well, it looks like the burrito stands in victory. The forces of me and sister combined were not enough to tackle this delicious Mexican dish. I say we got about 2/3 of the way through. Our utensils lay bloodied in the grounds of battle...we will meet again, Super Burrito.

PAY ATTENTION!

Multitasking - Doing multiple things at the same time.

Are you good at it? Do you talk/text/put on make-up/eat while driving a vehicle? Can you rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time? THEN I DARE YOUR ASS TO TRY THIS FUCKING GAME! My god this shit gets frustrating. You need to be able to pay attention to a lot of shit. When it got to the 3rd zone, I was like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- all day, and when I finally lost I never wanted to play this game ever again. Try it. Click HERE or copy/paste link below.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

First and last score I will ever get on this game.

EDIT: Well fuck me, I just saw that there is a 4th zone and not just the 3 I had screencapped above, and at 3 I was already bitching and I think my brain had stopped functioning. This game is too hardcore.

Things Forgotten

Last week (or maybe 2 weeks ago?) I was digging through my sketchpads and shit from drawing classes and stumbled upon this self-portrait from 2007. Just triple the hair length and change my glasses and it'll be accurate as of today. Haha.

NostalgiaFAG Wednesday Vol. 6: Walk the Dog Edition

Let's go back in time again guys. This time I bring you a fad that lasted quite a little while in elementary school. You all remember the yo-yo right?! Well I sure do, because I was one of the many who got all into that shit. But how did I and a bunch of other kids get into yo-yo's? By way of school assembly that is! I wonder if its the same for you guys, but for us, just like the pouched-milk, we had an assembly where an awesome team of yo-yo tricksters took the stage and wowed everyone with their awesome yo-yo tricks (remember that Simpsons episode?). Man I remember that assembly so well, those guys showed some crazy ass tricks, one I remembered most was Around-the-World and the fucking Rollercoaster.

But yeah, anyways, for those lucky enough to get a free yo-yos during the assembly (lucky motherfuckers who got to sit in the very front), the fad started for them during the recess right after the assembly. For the rest, you had to go to the mall or toy store to get your own, and then the fun started the next school day. As soon as I knew it, everyone was spinning them yo-yos. The sound of basketballs bouncing stopped, the sound of kids bodies squeaking down the plastic slides stopped, and instead they were replaced by the soothing sounds of yo-yos spinning on their strings. Watch this clip from that Simpsons episode I mentioned earlier, because it accurately represents how school was during the yo-yo period...



Of course, just owning a yo-yo didn't make you cool enough, in order to achieve maximum cool yo-yo status, you had to know some tricks. The more tricks you had up your arsenal, the cooler you were, the more the girls liked you. The first trick I learned was Rock the Baby/Cradle, then I learned the Flying Saucer, Walk the Dog, Dog Bite, and Around-the-World. That's all I remember, so I had a pretty high status around the playground.

Also, the brand of yo-yo you had totally said something about you. Basically, it was Duncan vs. Yomega. Duncan had their patented "Butterfly" yo-yo, and Yomega had their "brain" yo-yo, which made the yo-yo return to you automatically. Yomega and its brain made its way to the top, Duncan stood no chance. Everyone and their mothers had Yomega's, I had Yomega yo-yo's, I remember going to a toy store and buying an $80 dollar Yomega because it had like a super-ultimate-brain or whatever, it probably did tricks on its own and shit, (Joseph I still remember when you taught me that cool way to loop the string for your finger on the way home from the bus stop haha lol).

Before yo-yo's died out though, I remember how hardcore the scene got. Kids all around were trying to concoct methods to make their yo-yos spin longer and faster, I remember this because I bought some yo-yo speed lube and always carried it around with me. I remember kids having yo-yo gloves, where your designated string finger was fingerless. And then finally, kids also started carrying around packs of extra string, cause you never knew, all that spinning and tricks and shit can cause your string to get damaged and/or OMG get knotted! OH NO!

Will yo-yo's make it back? I don't think so haha. But I'm being serious when I say that era was a fun time. Well, as always guys, HOPE YOU HAD A NOSTALGIC TIME.

Extreme Pigouts: Pico Rivera Edition

Alright so this morning, or I guess afternoon when I finally got up from bed, I walked to the living room and my sister was watching the travel channel. The show she was watching was pretty god damn interesting, it was called "Extreme Pigouts." The show is pretty much what its called, it just shows a bunch of hot food spots around different cities in different states around the USA that are famous for crazy ass dishes of food. The showed like the Ben & Jerry's factory in Vermont, and how they have this special thing called the VERMONSTER, which is pretty much an extreme ice cream sundae. If I remember correctly, it consisted of 20 scoops of ice cream, 10 scoops of crushed walnuts, 4 spoonfuls of whatever toppings you want, a couple squirts of hot fudge, and it is topped off with a layer of whipped cream and sprinkles. Then there was this other one that showed off a 7-pound super breakfast burrito somewhere in Denver, and if a female finished it completely, she would get to eat at that restaurant free FOR LIFE.

Anyways, the show made me really hungry and got me thinking, "Where in my town, or somewhere nearby, has an extreme pigout dish that I can eat right now?" And not too long after, I called up friend Bill and we were headed to a local favorite.

This is Jim's. Welcome to it.

I didn't know they still made newspaper porn.

Now this right here is the dish this place is known for. This is Jim's Famous "D.U.I." If you can't tell what it consists of solely from the shot above, let me tell you about it. It starts off with chili-cheese thick cut fries on the bottom, and piled above them are big-square chunks of carne asada, and finally topped off with thick, deli-sized strips of pastrami. More like, Jim's Famous "Heart Attack on a Platter."

Tastes better with some ranch.

Someone doesn't know how to use a fucking fork.

Aftermath of it all.

I dunno why I put this, but Bill handed it to me, showing how Downey made it to the front page of the LA Times (lol for a bad thing though), and how it is above Obama. Yeah, Downey is so much more important than Obama. But I didn't give a shit of either of the two, I was more interested in that crazy ass underwater worm creature pictured right there. DA FUCK IS THAT?!
