Pain and Horses
This particular message may be rather disturbing for anyone of a sensitive disposition, please be warned. I have crossed the culinary Rubicon, just a few days ago I ate a horse. Well not a whole horse of course that would just be coarse. I ate some small delicately sliced pieces of raw gee-gee. And although my mind said no this is wrong there was a very happy party going on in my mouth. It's like really tasty beef, a little stronger in flavour and much harder to swallow on a mental level. So apologies to any who have been deeply offended hate mail should be sent to, Roger ate my pet, PO Box 666, 3rd Circle, Hell.
I had a note in my blog notes in my phone which read "comical nature of Japanese" now that sounds like it should have been the start of a good entry but sadly you'll have to live without because I really don't know what it is or why I wrote it down. So if I ever remember then I will let you know until then consider this entertaining little story. I have mentioned Japanese Telly a few times and its ability to amuse. I told you about the popularity of Mexican soaps (if you cant remember this scroll down through the archive until you find it, no I don't know which one you have to do some work) but the use of foreign words permeates even purely Japanese programs, sometimes in a very interesting international partnership, for example "Goud Temps", the Paris Berlin axis in action on TV in Japan. I really have no idea what the program was about but someone was crying and someone else was laughing so your guess is as good as mine.
If you like violent sports then you should watch kick boxing. I saw a bout on the telly and my god it looked painful. The two guys were just bouncing around the stage whacking each other not just on the legs arms and stuff but elbows in the face grrr it looked sore. There is also a kind of Japanese Jack-Ass a man who for shits and giggles has people come up to him and kick him in the balls, or throw bricks at him. The strangest thing though is that he doesn't look like a nutty freak case just an ordinary guy in a suit with a bit of a belly.
I will post some more pictures soon but we are having computer problems at the flat now so you'll need to wait a while. If you are still reading make a comment it makes me feel valued! Sad sad man that I am, hope all are well,
Roger

When I was in Sicily with Ronan I mistakingly bought horse salami. To be honest I wasn't paricularly perturbed by the thought although I have to say it wasn't that nice. Unfortunately I made Ronan eat it without telling him what it was, he still hasn't forgiven me. What is it with the Southern Irish and horse worship?

Well Rog, I already said you win, but if you feel the need to comsolidate your victory; fine.
Allow me to make one last grasp for dignity (or the opposite I'm not quite sure) by listing some of the other strange stuff I've eaten:
ostrich
octopus
cat fish
my own teeth
scrabble pieces
kudu
finger nails
nettles
various insects
pubic hair (probably)
toothpaste
fat that I thought was pineapple juice
pineapple juice
pommegranite (sp?)
what I suspect was eye (animal uncertain)
chewing gum
a marble
blue ink
a big mac
and then all the other stuff we've all eaten that it woouldn't be so desirable to mention.
As for that 'Jack-ass man,' are you sure he wants to be abused? Is there any chance that people actually just really dislike him?

Hello Elane Hello Nicky and the rest of you but specialy you two. Great to hear from people. Now Mr Buckley thats a big list but not that big have you ever eated raw insect? Ummm what about Sea Urchin? (Impressive maybe but truly vile tasting.) And some little eal babys that look to be alive and have little eyes looking at you! Not that I'm braging, well a little. And I know you gave up already but its fun to create a little competion. All da best....
