- BLDG BLOG has an amazing, surreal discovery: a board game from the 70s brought to you from the fine people at British Petroleum. Make your own fortune in the exciting world of offshore drilling! It looks so fun I want to cry. (Sadly, no Go Straight to Jail options.) -jc
- Beards aren’t just the bastion of the hipster and hairy (or your dad), they’re also a genuine expression of follicle fancy. Kevin, BlogTO’s bearded fashion blogger, explores the lives and motivations behind chinwarmers and the fashionable and creative people that sport them in his series Bearded. If you ever considered growing a beard, have a bear fetish (perhaps, a straight girl who’s into fur), or are just jealous of those who can sprout that much facial hair, Bearded is for you. My dad had a huge 70s one before he and my mom got hitched, and now he’s completely bald. Revel in your hairiness, men. You never know when your body will turn against you! Unless you’re dating me, then no beards for you.-am
- Speaking of beards, get to know Paul Vasquez, aka Yosemitebear, the guy whose video reaction to a double rainbow has gone Youtube viral. He’s been a firefighter and a cagefighter, and is now your average mountainman. I think he could be a new age evangelist–we all need to start enjoying the beauty of nature a lot more! Are we so blase that a double rainbow wouldn’t make you wanna cry, hyperventilate and wonder what it all means? I’m still wondering how they get the caramel in the Caramilk bar?!-am
- If you can get through this review (and it’s hyperlinks) of MIA’s single, ^^^?><>#$@^^, in just one weekend, then you are on a whole other level of a) speed reading, and b) a serious case of nothing else to do but spend all day in front of the computer. Basically, somebody at the blog Four Four took phrases from what looks like hundreds of different reviews, pasted them all together to make a coherent review, and then hyperlinked every single one of them. Kudos to whoever posted it, but did I mention something about having nothing else to do but spend all weekend in front of the computer? -jkg
