It’s been a while since I’ve made a Fuchico photo. Here’s the classic フチ子. For those of you who don’t know, Fuchico or “Fuchico on the cup” is a series of small plastic toys of an office worker named Fuchico who sits on the rims of cups. The one in the photo is the original, but since then, there have been so many different poses, outfits, and spinoffs. It’s cool because these little figurines make the photos a lot of fun! Here’s another one of my favorites that I took.

Recently, my wife showed me this video of SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi trying to recreate some of the Fuchico poses. It’s so funny. Enjoy!

Dragon Problem?

*Spoiler Alert* So last night I watched How to Train Your Dragon 2 on Netflix. The animation was great. I liked the movie. But I woke up in the middle of the night with a thought in my head… What is going to happen to the dead alpha-dragon’s carcass? I mean, it is massive! The size of a tiny island. Just how do you dispose of something that humongous? Do you burn it? Is is possible to drag it into the sea? Or do you just let it rot? These are important unresolved issues that need to be addressed!
