What would their version of downward dog be?


This series of posts follows the correspondence regarding the possibility of launching a line of Star Wars branded yoga. It's pretty much as funny as it sounds.

It's just so dreamy.



This video for Halou's "Everything is Okay," is directed by Kelly Tunstall, one of my favorite artists.

Funny or terrible?

This is a video a father took of his child after a trip to the dentist that must have required a heck of a lot of drugs. Is it okay to laugh? Doesn't matter, this kid kills me.

Sweet dreams.



From animator and illustrator Kirsten Lepore, this charming video is about a cupcake's adventurous life, involving a trip on a boat made out of sugar cubes and venturing to the unknown land of vegetables and fruits.

Live Videos by Ustream


I'm not absolutely certain if these are the same puppies that were on the live-streaming puppy cam late last year, but regardless. Puppies. Oh, so cute.

Super blog!

Blair Butler of G4 tv reviews this awesome blog site thusly "Chris works at a comic book shop so he reviews all the latest releases, but the real awesomeness lies in his ability to find obscure or forgotten comic books and write hilariously sarcastic reviews that make fun of them. They deserve it!"

For instance, check out this tasty lick about Destro from GI Joe:

A watched pot never boils


Yes, it's a rather simple recipe: add salt to water, and boil. What's awesome are the 800+ utterly sarcastic comments reviewing the recipe, such as the following:
This recipe didn't work for me. I added the salt, but the water never came to a boil, even after I doubled the salt. Maybe it would work better if you added a heat source? I've put a pot of water on a stove burner before and that seemed to work a little better.
and
No way would I go to all this trouble again. I am buying mine premixed.
and, a personal favorite:
Loved it! I was, however, out of water so I used gin. Couldn't find the salt (I know it was here yesterday) so I used a couple olives. I made it for lunch but for dinner I would double the recipe.
