Chinese Anyone?

June 4th 2008 13:33

Thanks to Speigel Online for a look at this exclusive restaurant in Beijing.

The Guolizhuang Restaurant in Beijing. There are four franchises in the city alone, and the chain is expanding: there's one in Atlanta, Georgia, in Chinatown.

The Guolizhuang menu is a broad introduction to the medicinal benefits of eating animal penises and testicles.

Ox penises help manliness. They're cut along the side and shaped into little stars.

The yak penis is served with a dragon. In the Guolizhuang restaurant there are more than 30 different animal penises on the menu. And for very special guests there's a list of others.

"Henry's whip" is the house specialty at Beijing's Guolizhuang restaurant. It's a sheep's penis on a stick covered in mayonnaise, sweet cheese, served on a bed of lettuce.

Dog and ox penises at Chinese Restaurant

A platter of ox and dog penises. The consistency and taste remind one of overly bitter rings of calamari, apparently.

The penises are often dipped in soy or hot sauce. For women, eating penises is supposed to be good for the skin.

Donkey penis served on a bed of lettuce: For Chinese guests, eating the sexual organs is not a test of courage, but rather a treatment for the libido.

"The Chinese eat everything with four legs, except tables -- and everything that flies except airplanes," goes a Chinese saying. At the Guolizhuang restaurant, customers can even order deer and sheep fetuses.

Got Beer???? A Landlord's Nightmare.

November 2nd 2007 02:22

A SINGLE GUY LIVED IN THIS TOWNHOUSE FOR 8 YEARS IN OGDEN UTAH , USA
THE LANDLORD THOUGHT HE WAS THE BEST RENTER BECAUSE HE NEVER CALLED OR COMPLAINED AND WAS NEVER LATE ON A PAYMENT.

THESE PICTURES DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE.

CENTURY 21 REALTY HAD ALREADY MOVED SOME OF THE CANS OUT, AND THEY HAD CAVED IN THE TUNNELS THAT THE RENTER HAD MADE TO GET TO THE BEDROOM, BATHROOM, AND KITCHEN .

All this, yet you still do not see any dust, scattered clothing, or dirty dishes anywhere.

Other than having a minor drinking problem, he was basically a very clean, organized person. Add to this, the fact that he was concerned about his health, proven by the fact that he drank "Light" beer.

Beer cans by the tens of thousands. Mountains of cans burying the furniture. The water and heat were shut off, apparently on purpose by the tenant, who evidently drank Coors Lig ht beer exclusively for the eight years he lived there.

There was an estimated 70,000 beer cans in the townhouse. To accumulate that amount of cans, the resident must have consumed an average of 24 beers a day for the 8 years of his tenancy!!

Romania

October 19th 2007 10:50

In Borat's movie the scenes showing Borat's home village were filmed in the village of Glod, Romania.
Borat's neighbours in Kazakhstan were portrayed by Romanians who were unaware of the film's subject.
The pictures below show why Romania was chosen as the filming location for the movie. Romania actually has an upper middle income economy, but scenes like the ones below can still be seen around the country.

Big Things in Australia

September 14th 2006 03:38

The Big Things of Australia are a loosely related set of large structures or sculptures representing much smaller objects which pertain to the area in which they are located. Each one is individual and constructed without reference to any of the others, but together they have certain things in common and are collectively known as Australia's Big Things. The first Big Thing is usually held to be the Big Banana built in 1964 in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales. However, 'Ploddy' the diplodocus at the Australian Reptile Park in New South Wales has a claim to being the first big thing, which was built in 1963. Now there are over 146 similar objects around the country.

There is no real consensus as to what qualifies a structure as a "Big Thing". Some loose rules could be:

• At least twice the size of the object it represents.
• At least twice human size.
• Dominant and accessible.
• Lifelike quality of construction.
• Enterprising and/or locally representative.

The Big Things have become something of a cult phenomenon, and are sometimes used as an excuse for a road trip, where many or all Big Things are visited and used as a backdrop to a group photograph.

To see a list of all 146 Big Things go here, below is a list of the more well known ones.

Finally, lets take a look at some pictures of Australia's Big Things.

Built in 1964, the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour NSW was the first of Australia's Big Things. The original Big Banana has been copied by the Big Bananas at Carnarvon, Western Australia and the Big Bunch of Bananas at Sawtell, New South Wales.

The Big Ram is located in Wagin, a town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. Very similar to this is the Big Merino in Goulburn, New South Wales.

Hamilton is a city in the Southern Grampians Shire of Victoria. Its contribution to the Big Things are these Wool Bales.

The Golden Guitar in Tamworth, New South Wales was erected in front of the famous Longyard Hotel on the Sydney Road in 1988. It was unveiled by Australia's most popular country music artist, Slim Dusty (David Gordon Kirkpatrick). Its location in Tamworth is symbolic of the city's recognition and celebration of Australia's country music, and its artists. An estimated 3.6 million photographs have been taken of the site since its opening. Here is one of those.

The last one is the Giant Koala near Ararat, Victoria. Sized at 14m x 8m it can be visited on the drive from Melbourne to Adelaide and houses a gift shop selling a wide array of sheepskin products and miscellaneous Australiana.
