I want to be artsy enough to say that I’d love to live in this Eliphante sculptural home. But I’m not. The photos are intriguing and I’m sure it would be a fantastic place to visit, but I just couldn’t live there. Because I have this affinity for, you know, straight lines and, ummmm, indoor plumbing. I mean, I like Tim Burton as much as the next person, but I don’t want to live in one of his movies 24/7.

that will freak you the hell out. You’re sitting alone in your basement office, getting to ready to type a heartwarming post about the sheer joy on your son’s face when he first saw the Santa Train this morning when… something flies past your head. And not a tiny something. A bird-sized something. And it’s all of 14° outside, so it’s not like we’ve had the doors standing open with a little birdie welcome mat out. Â
Luckily the bird was contained to just the office and didn’t get loose in the rest of the house. Also quite lucky for the bird is the fact that neither the cat nor the boy knew it was here.
Right… off to search for bird poop. Hurrah.Â

well… there’s two minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
(funniest thing is that Mr. OutdoorsExpertForOver10Years totally burns his marshmallow. He had one monumentally-simple task and he failed. But tries to cover it up by saying, “And you can roast it to suit how you like them.” Whatever, dude. Nobody likes to eat gooshy, molten ashes-on-a-stick.)
ps: I’ve tried and tried to halt the autostart on that video but can’t seem to do it. Sorry. Why don’t they give me a FlashExpertForOver10Years for that?!
pps: ok, MarshmallowMan was annoying the snot outta me, so I had to take the video off of here. Click the picture above to go to the site. You know, if you’re roasting-challenged…

were you thinking, “Man, I’ve got an extra $22,000 laying around and I could really use another cat”? You were? Well, you, sir, are in luck. Because Lifestyle Pets (hey, did you throw up in your mouth a little too when you read that? Good. That shows you may just have a soul.) has just the thing for you… a cat that looks like a leopard. Because, really, who here has ever seen a spotted cat before?! Well, ok, maybe ALL of us, but those cats weren’t special like these cats. Those cats were only spotted by luck. THESE cats have four zillion dollars worth of inbreeding with African Servals, and Asian Leopard Cats and Bulgarian Unicorns (and, oh, regular old cats) to make them $uper $pecial.
And don’t forget to check out the dog section while you’re at the site because do you know what they’re working on?! Small dogs! Teeny, tiny dogs that you can probably carry around with you to be extra annoying. WHO WOULDA THUNK IT?!

So, did everyone tune in to Yo Gabba Gabba! yesterday? We had to, if only in deference to what looked to be a half-hour of crazy Krofft-inspired mania.
And mania it delivered. Lots of bright colors, lots of funky music, lots of crazy monster-like characters. But still, I was afraid the kids (growing up in this “just say no” era) wouldn’t take to it, but it seemed to go over well.
Really though, how could something that involves both Biz Markie AND Mark Mothersbaugh *not* go over well!?

our Christmas cards for this year!
(perhaps I should file this under “it’s funny ’cause it’s true”)

but it happened this morning as I was tooling around Etsy, and ran across…
yep, you read that right — “Yeti on YOUR panties” (emphasis theirs. Of course!)
If you want a Yeti on your panties (and, really, who doesn’t?), but are panty persnickity and wear only a certain brand, you can send in said fancypants and have a Yeti applied for you.
It’s like I’m stuck somewhere between utter silent awe and laughing so hard I fall out of my chair and roll out the door. Yeti on your panties. Yeti on YOUR panties!
And, as usual when faced with things such as this, here’s my bizarre second thought (which is a string of “never woulda happeneds”): if I’d had these as a kid, and had worn them to school under a dress, and had climbed across the monkey bars, some dimwitted little kid would’ve shouted, “Yeti on your panties! Yeti on your panties!” and I would’ve turned, given him a withering look and said, “Of COURSE there’s a Yeti on my panties. DUH.”

Reuters is reporting that a giant Lego man was found floating in a Dutch sea.
Funniest thing I’ve read about this:
Somewhere out at sea, there’s a Lego cruise ship with a giant grieving Lego woman aboard…

What in the hell is Simplicity thinking? Ok, fine, all the magazines are telling us that the 80s are back, but what exactly is the market for this pattern? Because all the people that I know who can sew WOULD NOT WEAR THIS. Ever. Never. Even to a costume party. We’d go raid our own damned basements for that.
Doesn’t that model look pissed? You would too if you were dressed like a shiny, Smurfy-blue Valley Girl… and you were two when this look was in. Perhaps her first word was “Kajagoogoo.”
