“When I first got this, I thought ‘No way! this is too good to be true!’ But then I decided to solve mathematically whether this would really work, since as an Mech. Engr. student (with high GPA) I basically kick ass at math. I was able to PROVE that this, in fact, REALLY DOES WORK!”

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that this 1970 pop single by Rumi Koyama was not about the Third Reich. In fact I’m sure of it, given the lyrics.

Old meets New
It’s been a while since a Mook caught my eye. Just-released title JK☆Q illustrates Japanese cars from the 60s through the 80s, accompanied by thematically appropriate high school girls.
I mention this because there are two previous mooks from the same publisher, featuring girls on motorcycles: JK☆B and JK☆B-2. Would you be shocked to learn that JK☆B featured Bakuon?

Lime-senpai sings!
The CD single of the Bakuon end-credits song includes several extras, including the “Lime-senpai” version.
They just layered riding noises over the instrumental version.
I wonder what they sell here...
Shoes? Auto parts? Knitting supplies? I can’t figure out what sort of product this shop might be selling…

Dear boingboing,
Every time I think the tools who write for the site have bottomed out, they dig deeper. Emphasis added:
Dolores Park is a symbol of the clash between of the Mission District's low-income, non-white traditional residents and the flood of gentrifying tech world.
As rents in the neighborhood have climbed to unthinkable heights and landlords have engaged in sleazy mass-eviction/ethnic cleansing programs, Dolores Park has been a site for an ongoing culture war.
In other words, people like boingboing writers want to live in San Francisco, and can afford to pay higher rent than the current occupants in certain neighborhoods. I’m willing to wager that the writer wouldn’t use those particularly loaded phrases to describe a middle-class neighborhood being overrun by a “different-looking” population…
[Update: the comments on this one are surprisingly refreshing, with plenty of people calling out factual errors and bullshit in the article.]
Sexual Healing meme
I’ve been seeing a lot of captioned anime pictures recently with two speech bubbles added, reading 大丈夫？ おっぱい揉む？ (“Are you okay? Wanna squeeze my titties?”). The templates (NSFW) work surprisingly well on a wide variety of cheesecake images, 2D and 3D, and then of course it had to get weird…
Bakuon OP, 3D version
I generally don’t like the bleached-blonde look on Asian women, but it works for Sayaka Sasaki.
…and since she’s turning 34 soon, I don’t even have to feel guilty about ogling!
