Carstache

Just like the website says, it's a moustache for your car. It is, allegedly, "glorious."

Unsurprisingly, there is a bikestache option too.

Thank you, Lisa.

I love you so

Mean Girls in the White House

Thanks for the find, Jenny. I would like to see a Clueless variation.

Best Day in Jenny Crapser's Life

That honor goes to Dec. 13, 2010, as that is the day both Zac Efron and Michael C. Hall announce they are newly single and ready to mingle (with Jenny, I hope).

P.S. Please let the record show that I find them both to be unattractive, approaching creepy.

Burning Man 2010

There's a lot that has been written about Burning Man, but I will stick with a few photos.

Courtney and me looking typical with the Man in the background.


Good point.


Out favorite art car cum whiskey bar.

Installation with participation.


Don't worry Mom; I was keeping it real.

Body Scanners at LAX

My high school graduation trip to Cabo would have been a lot different if I had to go through one of these. This example is every kid's worst nightmare:

"An 18-year-old flying with his mother was stopped before boarding a plane in Phoenix when the scanned images suggested that something was hidden in his groin area. Although officials asked him what was in his pants, the teen didn’t tell them, according to Trevino. Finally, police were called, searched the teen and found a pipe and foil-wrapped marijuana in his underwear."

Also, why are we spending a zillion dollars to prevent dumb 18 year olds from taking a nug on the plane? The TSA is silly.

They’re also working on starting a tractor fund

I don't often read the NYT wedding announcements, because they are usually boring or make me feel poor, but this one about some goat cheese farmers made me laugh.

Gawker liked them too.

It's never-ending snacks around here

American children are finally catching up with me.

I am not being rude

I would really like it if you just did what you are supposed to do.

So It Goes

Did you know that a lot of people have a "So It Goes" tattoo? This a real meme.

Not yet a meme: mixing your dead cat's ashes in with the ink on your memorial tat.

Breaking: people get Harry Potter tats? I die.

Recital Meltdown

Guess which kid prompted my sister to say "this is something you would have done?"

Taylor Swift GO JUMP IN A LAKE

I would have much rather seen a duet along these lines

By Request

Nightmare Material

Call me culturally insensitive, but I find these products terrifying:

Weaves for babies


Fully-covered with only a mesh eyehole for ventilation and visibility Barbie

Die, Baby on an airplane, die?

Well this is another take on the complaining about mothers angle.

"Parents like Root and others who selfishly force the rest of us to pay the cost of their choices in life aren't just bothering us; they're stealing from us."

HARSH

But I do agree with her point that all kinds of people are inconsiderate all the time, and it is exhausting.

I think small children should be given a mild, safe sedative (Benadryl?) before boarding airplane for flights of more than 1 hour.

Paramore fans

I work across the street from the Hollywood Palladium. Often, fans line up for shows in the early afternoon to secure a premium spot in the venue.

More Paramore fans lines up earlier than any other group I have seen! Fans spent the night, and by noon the line was halfway around the block.

These fans are more committed than people who wanted to see legends like Bob Dylan and the Pixies. Are Paramore fans more committed or just younger?
