I always knew that the world record for the largest grouping of people dressed as Smurfs – that’s right: Smurfs – would one day be broken. Leave it to the Welsh (the same folks who have a regimental goat) to break the record by getting 2510 people to dress up as blue, prophylactic-hat-wearing Smurfs (here).
So, I learned a new Spanish word last night, after eating at La Tasca Tapas Restaurant:
Tapa: Expensive food that is extremely small and hard to see. Something you eat when you want to starve to death in a classy looking way.
If you’re hungry, my advice would be to skip expensive tapas and stick to a Burrito Grande from Taco Bell.
I just had a burger on an onion-bun and was wondering:
Why don’t they call onion-buns ‘bunions?’
P.S., I had my burger at Big Buns, in Arlington, VA. If you’re ever in Arlington, you should check ‘em out!
I’m a guy who likes to keep things real, so I really enjoyed hearing the story of a courageous 66-year old fellow named Lai Jiansheng, who gave a little ‘push’ to get traffic moving on a backed up Chinese highway (here). Apparently, some dude named Chen Fuchao was standing on a street bridge, threatening to kill himself; this scene had caused a five-hour traffic backup, as police attempted to coax Fuchao down from the bridge. Enter Jiansheng, a man who wanted to get traffic going. Jiansheng did what anyone would do in a situation like this: he walked up to Funchao, shook his hand, then pushed him off the bridge.
If you are a fan of 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh, as am I, then you, no doubt, heard that the Regimental Goat, William Windsor, has just retired. Below is a true and accurate picture of the Regimental Goat being led through a retirement parade by none other than the Goat Major Lieutenant Corporal, Ryan Arthur. William Windsor was presented with a gold pocket-watch for his faithful service as the Regimental Goat.
