If you are reading this, you have already seen the new look I have created for the blog, with a new image and new colors.
The colors have are based on red and white (Japan and Canada's colors - I'm from Canada), plus some nice blue for Great Britain, where I was born. Or the U.S. where I have a ton of friends. Or maybe I just liked the colors this time, as it all went well with the colors on the image.
And, no - the image is not me peeing on Japan.
Rather, it is my favorite photograph taken by my self in Japan as I wandered around lost in Kyoto.
I stumbled into an alley - and there at the end of the 2-meter deep alley was this sign standing about 1-meter off the ground, bolted into the wall.
If it's not evident enough it says (in English): "Don't pee here. It's for the dogs."
I checked my shoes for dampness and got my camera out, snapped the photo and backed out carefully - still lost, but glad I had found my way here.
Granted the sign shows a shogakusei (elementary school kid) with his school cap tipped backwards rakishly taking a whizz while an angry dog looks on, but I can't help but wonder how anyone could assume that human urine is somehow worse than dog urine.
It's still piss.
And that's what this blog is all about. Piss. Oh, and vinegar, too. Piss and vinegar.
And probably some comedy. And history, science, social studies and more.
And, if you aren't careful (to quote Bill Cosby), you might learn something.

PS: And if you are lucky and ask nicely, I do a perfect Fat Albert vocal impression. I'm not that fat.
