Welcome to the New World Order! of this blog

The real question when rebooting this classic and well-loved, but currently listless and self-parodical, blogging franchise was, "What gimmick to place as the centerpiece?"

I mean, that one dude already makes fun of white people, which is cool, albeit a little easy. Not exactly the most dangerous game. Not even a moving target. White people are lame. We know this.

In that vein, there's already the anti-hipster blog. But again. Fish. Barrel. You figure out the rest.

It should be noted that my immense jealousy of how perfect the above two blogs are is the only reason they have elicited mild scorn from myself. That and Stuff White People Like is just way too close to home for it to be funny.

I could do food! I like food. But a food blog? Meh. Not exactly the best thing ever. My real problem... or at least one of my more major problems, is that I have too much shit I care too much about. So this blog must encompass them all. 

A daunting task, surely, but the worldview of an international jewel thief who runs a bar in Hanoi called "Flowers for Algernon" with his homie Raul, will be an invaluable contribution to the blagosphere.

Raul is a G! Communist insurrection, shmommunist shminsurrection.


Also, I henceforth vow to write every post while clad in a kimono and cowboy hat, and pray I am never photographed doing so, lest it show up on latfh.
