[In an last-ditch attempt to boost flagging readership, once popular food blog "Right Along Taipei" has been rebranded as an online magazine for the profitable "children from the ages of three to 23" demographic. The authors thank you for your continued support, and hope you all enjoy the new format.]
"WOW!" is what I said, when Avalon forcibly threw her laptop into my lap (forever ending my career as a professional sexer/sexee) to show me the latest issue of "Right Along Taipei"--we've truly outdone ourselves this time with the sheer amount of outrageous content!!!!! Depart this plane of men with a smile on by taking part in our new drinking game, learn some fun facts about us with which to impress your social worker, participate in our latest greatest bestest contest, and maybe even read a review if I remember to write it! More fun than a bag of kumquats in an ultracentrifuge!
fun facts!
Duncan's most outrageous act of heresy:
Duncan sometimes pretends to part automatic sliding doors like a sexier Moses.
Avalon's most outrageous act of heresy:
Avalon was responsible for the infamous "Avalon" translation of the Bible, in which every proper noun was translated as "Avalon".
fun facts!
Avalon is unable to survive the vacuum of space without socks.
Duncan knows π to 3.141? decimal places.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to look upon Duncan in the unforgiving light of day? Or ask Avalon to sign your nipples? Well, wonder no longer, troglodyte reader, for we are finally giving you the chance to have all of your illusions and expectations dashed upon the jagged rocks of reality! One lucky basement dweller will get to view Avalon and/or Duncan (or possibly their stunt doubles) from behind a bullet-proof window for a full EIGHT minutes! All you need to do is correctly answer the following question to enter the draw:

AWKWARDNESS: ✦✧✧
Duncan was in his natural habitat, and so any awkwardness was replaced with sleek majesty as he navigated the pub with aplomb.
SNUGGLINESS: ✦✦✧
Not entirely the fault of the lovely staff or the presumably lovely proprietors, but the viking-themed party upstairs (especially the dude who got hold of a microphone and refused to let go, like a drunk Heimdall at Valhalla's weekly karaoke night) made our heroes' visit a bit of a trial. Particularly as both Avalon and Duncan have painful genetic memories of having their homelands pillaged and torched by Scandinavians.
DISRUPTIVITY: ✦✦✦
There is an enormous selection of delightful IPAs, which perfectly compliment the sandwiches on offer.
PRETEN$ION: ✦✦✧
Not bad for the wonderful food and environment.
THE fLaVO(u)Rz: ✦✦✦
Lush. Duncan is almost tempted to replace his glistening eightpack with a beer and cheese belly.
1. Someone, at some time, once said that we are the mean average of the five people we spend the most time with. Duncan, since becoming 80% Avalon, 20% pigeon, really wants to infect Jiro Wang with psittacosis.
