JFK Gushers

JFK Gushers

"So like when you bite into JFK's head, it gushes some sort of goo." —Michael Ian Black invents JFK Gushers in the Teddy Grahams episode of Mike and Tom Eat Snacks. This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. I highly recommend you download them all immediately.

The Ron Swanson paper doll is here!

And he comes with the bacon-wrapped turkey leg known as The Swanson! There are now three paper dolls in the Parks & Recreation series by illustrator Kyle Hilton: Ron, April, and Tom. I hope there are plans for an Andy.

The Risks of Koi Assisted Birth

Baby-eating Koi

Before you decide on a koi assisted birth, you might want to consider the potential risks.

The koi are skilled midwives. No one is disputing that. Their unique physiology allows them to literally suck babies from the womb, thus alleviating much of the pain associated with traditional childbirth. Now occasionally, the koi will feed on a baby they've just delivered. This by no means happens with every birth, but it isn't unheard of. Feeding the assisting koi shortly before the birth should help mitigate the risk. Good luck!

Tampon Flash Drive

The ideal place for storing episodes of True Blood.

Unfortunately, the brilliant tampon flash drive is not yet available for purchase. I hope they make them in different absorbencies. I want a 20 pack of super plus. Via Incredible Things.

Rock Biter on Velvet

Rockbiter on Black Velvet

I ♥ Rock Biter! He is one of the greatest characters from one of the greatest movies of all time.

"They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were." Holy christ, I am going to start crying.

And in case you need to hear it now, here's "The Neverending Story" by Limahl.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.

Inigo Montoya on Black Velvet

And I am on black velvet.

All fellow velvet art enthusiasts should check out Bruce White's excellent gallery. Perhaps I should commission a portrait of myself à la Unicorn Combover from him.

Pepperoni Pizza Sweatshirt

Pepperoni Pizza Sweatshirt

If I could just get a bodysuit in this print, I'd be super psyched.

It would certainly be better than the Steve Buscemi dress.

Happy 4th, everybody!

Spread-eagled woman + flag + fireworks = America

This is me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to soar with some bald eagles over some purple mountain majesties. Should be pretty sweet.

MKRNI: "Humedad"

Hace calor indeed. This is the mermelada del verano, people.

From now on, I am going to refer to my favorite song as my marmalade. MKRNI (pronounced "Makaroni") is a tropical electro band from Chile. A bunch of their songs are available for download on SoundCloud.
