It sounds weird, but I had a dream Saturday night (which is amazing, because I swear I haven't slept in days.  Insomnia has been hitting me hard) about doing a blog on "Word Association" and I thought that was silly.....but I can't get it outta my mind.  So join me please in a little blog game, okay?

I'll start it off with the word:  DREAM

Please use only ONE word...if ya'll can, lol.  Respond to the last word on the list and let's see how far it goes.....  

I can't imagine anyone, even Homer Simpson, saying, "Mmmmmm, Yak's Knob is sooo tasty!".  But, apparently, penis and other genitalia are all that's on the menu in a Chinese restaurant in Beijing. 

You can have your penis roasted, steamed or boiled.  There's water buffalo member, or deer penis, dog penis (“The only one with a bone in it”, and served with a glaze cherry placed pointlessly on the tip).  Or maybe you'd like some goat or bull penis.

This is a restaurant that caters mostly to male Communist party members.  They seem to be the only ones that can afford such a "delicacy". 

Here's the full story at TimesOnline.  Enjoy!

Have you heard about this one?  Now flip flops can cause cancer.  This from, this is London.

Quoting the article:  Doctors issued a warning today about the risks of "flip-flop cancer".

They fear the rising popularity of open-toed sandals and designer flip-flops is putting people at risk of getting skin cancer on their feet.

I didn't know Bob Marley, the reggae singer, died from a melanoma on his foot he believed was a football injury. He refused to have his toe amputated for religious reasons and died when the cancer spread.
