So, I get up at 2:30 am to go to work and some would consider this punishment enough, but what should I see when I turn on the television to catch up on any overnight world events? That’s right, Olympic curling. And not only that, but it was Team Canada in the sedate black slacks and the Norwegians sporting the most atrocious harlequin trousers on the face of the planet. Once I could get past that dreadful fact, that grown men would willingly clad themselves in harlequin trousers, I was still faced with the age-old question: what the heck is curling? Well, here’s a brief explanation of the sport, but nothing about questionable wardrobe choices. I think I’ll leave it at that. It would be best, I’m certain.


This blog has one of the most eclectic, bizarre, and all-around cool stuff you can imagine. This series is just a small sample, and a big reason why I’ve subscribed to his feed for a while now. Go check it out!

May this poor soul find peace!



Brace yourselves, mates…the International Talk Like A Pirate Day is upon us!



Somewhere at the junction of inner fantasy and universal archetype, you’ll find Organic Armor…
We create handmade costume pieces and props that look like ancient metal, bone and leather. Unlike the real thing however, you’ll find the pieces comfortable and affordable. Wear them for hours through active movement: clubs, rituals, festivals, on stage, or in the backyard. They are especially suited to performance. Check out the armor for your pets too!


Good advice, and something this moron may have wanted to take seriously. This is priceless.



This is a truly disturbing story–sure, it’s wrong to pee on someone’s cab (or any other vehicle, for that matter), but to deliberately run over that person, breaking both of their legs? This is sick, and certainly will make anyone visiting Austin think twice about hailing a cab. Heck, I live here, and Yellow Cab better not wait up nights waiting for me to give them a call, should the need for a taxi ever arise. I already walk with a limp, and have a metal plate and six screws in one leg, and I’m pretty sure I don’t want any more orthopedic hardware courtesy of some crazy cab driver.


We’ve all seen the bumperstickers, “Keep Austin Weird,” but this is a little too weird. Funny, but weird.
