making things pretty…

‘Who’s’ indeed…

What does it say if an old high school acquaintance challenges you to a Facebook movie quiz called “Who’s Boobs.!!“?  (let’s all try to get past the gross grammar errors, shall we? Really, there wasn’t one shot of Entwistle’s boobs in there. ) 

And what does it say that I scored higher than him?!

there’s only one thing wrong…

with this Push It! shirt from Threadless and it is most definitely NOT the fact that there are tiny tubes of paint pooping all over the place. That is the BEST thing about it. But the colors suck. I mean, really SUPER suck. The look on that yellow paint’s face though… man, that more than makes up for it!

With a name like “Burpee”…

you have to have a sense of humor. And apparently they do. As I was perusing the seed display at the old Home Depot yesterday, I noticed a package of broccoli named “George’s Favorite Blend.”

I didn’t have my camera with me but it made me laugh so much that I almost bought them, but then, well, I would own broccoli seeds and who wants to deal with that?

Anyway, I can’t seem to find a picture of the package online, nor the story behind the name. Perhaps it has nothing to do with #41, but I like to think that it does. Because taunting former presidents is fun.

Mr. P…

Ok, this Mr. P lamp makes me laugh and laugh. And, no, I wouldn’t dare put it in the living room but ya gotta admit it would be awfully cute in a little boy’s room.

You know what else makes me laugh? The thought of saying, “Hey Mom, would you flip on that lamp over there?”

bwahahahahhahaha.

I’m no Comic Book Guy…

but, because I grew up watching Batman reruns on the local UHF station, I’m in lurve with this POW! t-shirt. But at almost $50, I’m thinking maybe I’ll go for a DIY version. Hellooooo cafepress… here I come.

so bizarre…

but it’s an awesome bizarre. It’s like Ronnie Van Zant, Kate Pierson, Joseph Stalin, Amy Winehouse, a healthy dose of Ed Grimley and a little Keebler Elf all rolled into one…

one of the more intriguing spams…

I’ve ever received came to me today from one Mr. Angus Chao: 

Hooked on eBay? www.ebay666.info
Plus, some people find the sounds themselves calming.

packing tape babies…

Not usually a huge fan of installation art, but Mark Jenkins’ work intrigues me, especially the Storker Project. Does he just carry little packing tape babies around with him everywhere he goes?! On one hand, that freaks me out just a little, but on the other, it’s awesome.

Break out your Scotch-brand and get instructions for your own tape sculpture here.

those things NEED instructions…

These baby instruction cards have had me giggling all morning. If I were to have another baby, I’d print them all out and use them as a chair rail-height border around the kid’s room. And then, most likely, I’d maniacally rip it all down again because I’d remember I hate wallpaper borders. Man, those pregnant women can be IN-sane!

“Sockm Onke Yart”…

We’ve spoken many times of my love for sock monkeys. And so imagine my glee when I came across these sock monkey art prints by Brenda Young. They are fantastic! And a total steal at only $12. She sells on ebay,  etsy and imagekind, but I imagine she gets the biggest cut if you buy off of her personal website, ClubhouseB.
