Angie Merkel orchid


German Chancellor Angela Merkel takes in the sights and scents at the National Orchid Garden in Singapore. During her recent visit, the chancellor was honored by having an orchid plant named after her (Dendrobium Angela Merkel). Orchids are the national flower of Singapore, and the garden also has orchids named after Nelson Mandela, the Queen of England and Lady Di.

Anna Calvi "Blackout"

Double Mondays are the day after a 3-day holiday weekend

You ache for stable ground
But your tracks fade into nothing

You search your black heart for meaning
At the light you see a woman
It's Anna Calvi

...surrender...

The A-hole Special

That's right folks, for those of you that want to eat an A-hole, here's the menu item for you (no, this wasn't photo-shopped, but on an actual menu at a local Japanese restaurant). The price for this brown glory? Only $13-$15 depending on how deep you wanna go.

For the record, I didn't order it. I have limits to my adventuresome eating habits.

Pizza

When I die, I wanna come back in my next life as a pizza.

I'll be simple yet complex.

No one will ever agree if I'm good (but they WILL talk about me).

And while I'll be adored for a short time, I will always be replaced.

Another cog in the cosmic wheel.

Pumpernickel

According to this packaging, in Germany pumpernickel is like Viagra.

. Anything that has to do with your stool is Viagra in Germany

. WTF?

. I love it! The darker and stronger the better!

. Okay? So how does pumpernickel fit in with your "secret" veiled ice cream run? I don't get it?

. Does it get your dick hard?

President Obama (shamrocks) Guinness

On his recent visit to Dublin, dear Barack had a taste of the Guinness. Seems Michelle threw back a jar too!
