Friday, June 6, 2014 Every tourist guide in the world warns visitors about the water here in beautiful Mexico, but I guess there’s always someone who doesn’t listen or forgets. The parking lot of the Villa Marina hotel is packed as per usual like a […]
What was once a freewheeling Internet is now struggling for survival in Russia. As President Vladimir Putin slowly tightens his stranglehold on democracy, his latest act was has been the quiet signing into power of a new law requiring popular online voices to register with […]
I’m not even gonna pretend that I didn’t spend my younger years experimenting with all manners of drugs. Or that Ecstasy/X/MDMA – or any other name variation – didn’t change my life (for the better I might add, just in case that wasn’t clear). And […]
SPOILERS AHEAD… SO LOOK AWAY IF YOU’VE BEEN ON THE MOON THESE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS! So, the penultimate episode of this season’s Game of Thrones, The Watchers on the Wall, was fully dedicated to the crows of Castle Black. You remember those guys, right? Moody […]
Friday, June 6, 2014 The two cops with very big automatic weapons at the hotel gate do not want me taking their photographs. They’ve both got great boozy faces, but it’s just not on. That’s why you always see them on T.V. wearing masks, just […]
There is a tiny little store on the corner of the market in Santurce that sells the best piña colada – just the right amount of rum mixed with pineapple and coconut milk. Salsa music is blasting and almost everyone is dancing. I kid you […]
Thursday, June 5, 2014 So I arrive in San Diego, which has the most beautiful airport in the world in my experience. Blue, blue horizons, cacti, poofy sunflowers, palm trees and none of that opaque accompaniment of gunmetal gray you get in every other western […]
Above: the boys show of the truck to Baja 500 crowds… As all you extreme racing fans know, this past weekend saw the 2014 edition of the Baja 500 race across the deserts of Mexico. This year, BaDoink were lucky enough to have two of […]
With whip smart twists and turns, this was the best episode of Fargo yet. I know I said that before, but that was before. How the fuck is this thing gonna wrap up? With wife dead and bro in jail, Lester gives zero fucks. He’s […]
Do you remember those 80s commercials for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? That is exactly what I felt when I heard about Foria. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, it’s lube that contains medical marijuana. Because some people do have great ideas that were just sitting in front […]
Anime – cultural window into the reality of life in Japan? Well, no, not usually. People don’t carry massive swords, sweet little children aren’t the smartest people in the country and people can’t produce balls of energy in their open palms. But here are some […]
You’ve probably all been hearing the term ‘net neutrality’ a lot lately. It’s not surprising. It’s been all over the news. And even if you don’t watch the news, you will have seen something about it on the Internet, especially since it is the Internet […]
Boy, some folk just really love their guns. And it doesn’t matter how many innocent people have to die because of it – just ask Joe the Asshole… sorry I mean Joe the Plumber, whose name, thanks to the torrent of slurry that belches from […]

Last week we took a look at the dangers of simple carbohydrates and refined grains. If that left you looking at your pantry thinking ‘what can I eat then?’ it’s time to get experimental with your grains! Yes, it’s possible to buy wholegrain pasta, but […]
Above: Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP The UK, or perhaps in this context I should say Great Britain, has always had a particular love/hate attitude towards the denizens of other countries. Maybe it’s because at one point we pretty much ruled the world. A […]
Above image by Rodrigo Garrido / Shutterstock.com The Baja 500 race, the most infamous, exciting, dangerous desert motor race in the world, continues its 47-year run this June in Ensenada, Mexico. And this year, 2014, two of our very own here at BaDoink – Tim Whale […]
Who doesn’t love a good ol’ western? In theory, Teenage Cowgirls was fairly promising. The poster looks badass and has quotes like “Hilarious! Best western sex film yet.” (The second part may still be kind of truth, as it’s not like they’re very frequent.) The […]
Puberty is a confusing time for everyone. Lots of changes that we know will happen; some that we had no idea about. One of that group we did know about (for guys, anyway) is our voice radically changing into a grown man’s pitch. In my […]
As loyal followers of BaDoink you will be fully aware that our very own Mark Hoashi and Tim Whale are racing a truck in this year’s Baja 500 in Mexico. And their incredible, history-making bid begins today as the Baja 500 gets going! If you […]
