Another one hit out of the park by Regretsy: Bored in the USA. I was laughing so hard I could barely read it out loud to Tim!

WANT!!!!! I have no carpentry skills, but would happily trade for hand-knit socks… :eyes Sharon’s dad:

Here’s one for Barbara – post-it notes that look like blades of grass. THE CUTE!

Jabba has never looked so tasty!

Fascinating – have y’all been following this story? King Tut was disabled, malarial, and inbred!

—

Hahahah – greatest party boat ever!

Mmmm…. tasty edible answers to frequently asked questions. We should do this at the yarn shop – except that my thighs would grow exponentially.

As someone who has worked in a video store, I agree – THIS is how you organize a video store!

This is not from My Parents Were Awesome, but it should be – elaborate home-made pipe.

The Day the Snow Dalek Visited…

—

Fascinated by what’s inside of things? Exploded images of everyday objects.

—

This frightens me. School used student laptop webcams to spy on them at home; kid was disciplined when people spying on him mistook candy for pills.

Jonathan Carroll on expressions.

My Parents Were Awesome roundup – Heidi looks like a movie star. Here’s Ralph, but I really like the person in back of him, who clearly has a sense of humor. I want to know what Valerie was doing with all those shoes.

Got a few minutes? Here’s the entire Jon Stewart/Bill O’Reilly interview.

Oh, Regretsy… I need to stop reading you over my lunch break. Hello Titty almost killed me!

Don’t laugh, but I have a thing for ornate doorbells. So this made me smile!

Also beautiful? Bitter Sisters package design. Also looks tasty. Wonder where I might find some…? Ooo – related: The Science of Cocktails.

On a serious note – this home video was recently found of the Challenger space shuttle disaster. Watching it brought me right back to that day.

Remember a few weeks ago when I posted about the octopus with the coconut? Here’s a great follow-up article on octopus intelligence.

Holy shit, people suck, PEOPLE SUCK SO HARD. Sad photo warning. Woman charged with selling goth kittens. I say again: PEOPLE SUCK SO HARD.

—

Perhaps in retaliation for the above, dog shoots hunter.

I want to like this, I really really do; it combines two things I like. But this is just a little too creepy– Weeki Wachee Presents Alice in Wonderland.

—

Here is some really creative and fantastic – and not photoshopped – miniature photography.

—

More from my My Parents Were Awesome obsession (I really want both Jag and Sharon to send in some photos): I don’t know who Joan is, but I want to hang with her! This photo (Nancy) is so 70’s I can’t stand it. And I have a question for Matt about Peter – what do you think? WWI? Lastly (for this post), Janet can rock a hat.

—

Here’s one for Quinn and Sharon – Hello Kitty Chainsaw. I’m totally getting that for Tim. Hee hee hee.

Joining the “mile-high” club just got easier. If somewhat more public.

—

Some recent faves from My Parents Were Awesome (I am a sucker for a photo that tells a story, or should I say… makes you want to know the story). John (in the bra). Sometimes the fashion sets the tone, like Rhoda. Sometimes the pure joy on someones face is what gets me, like Minda.

—

I am not surprised at how many of these people are on my bookshelves – Famous Literary Drunks and Addicts.

This might be from The Onion, but it sadly rings true – Science Channel Refuses to Dumb Down Science Any Further.

These life-sized and larger-than-life sculptures are so freaking cool I have not the words. I want one!

—

Epic Save-the-Date video is EPIC. As in “why the fuck couldn’t I have thought of that?!”

—

Did I wake up in the effing Twilight Zone? The dictionary has been banned in schools because it defines a term.

—

Here’s one for Barbara and Mariana – Helvetica font cookie cutters.

—

Continuing with tasty goodness, we have tasty tasty brain slugs. Mmmmmm.

—

I’m laughing out loud at this– Whoopee: Shopping With Mother.

38 Snowmen Nightmares: Calvin and Hobbes In Real Life brings a little tear to my eye.

I need one of these for my wall: The “Mythbusters” Poster.

Advisor raises some good points – Should chatty cell phone users stick to social networking? I say Hells Yeah.

Almost everyone I know could make one of these for a lot less than $500, but hey– more power to you if you can sell it! This felted stone mat looks hard and cold but would feel soft and fuzzy. Just the thing for cold winter mornings!

Blessed are the orangutan peacemakers.

Miep Gies, who helped to hide the Frank family (and others) and later found and kept Anne’s diary, died a few weeks ago at 100 years of age. A silent hero who never wanted attention.
