JUST WAIT FOR ARCHIE TO APPEAR

Rick Veitch has been running a webcomic this summer that is all about dreams, which he is pretty damn invested in writing and drawing about. The art is fantastic and it is such a fabulous premise and delivery i can't wait for my (almost) daily dose.



Midsummer's Dream

SMUSH



This is a real advertisement for Ben and Jerry's. My mind is blown and i feel like i am on some really awesome drugs. Also it is all handmade.

Check out the blurb and more trippy ads @ Kitsune Noir.

TOWER IN THE HEART OF LONDON



Mick Jones is starting his own Library, started with his own personal collection of over 10,000 items of rock and roll memorabilia. Another reason to go visit London!

Jones’s five-week civic endeavour will also encourage visitors to enrol, interact with the archive-exhibition (Jones began collecting well before he formed The Clash in 1976 to eventual international success, as such it forms an invaluable guide to the influences that informed Jones as a pop-artist). Also uniquely by request users will be able to scan (courtesy Genus, U.K distributor of the Book2net Kiosk) certain objects and via memory stick carry them away.
Read about it at the Clash blog:

Just like Adam and Eve.
Said you'd set me free, you took me to the sky
I'd never been so high

You dropped a bomb on me, hey baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

ICE CREAM OLYMPUS


There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

WHATTA GUY

Meet Jeff Sessions:



He wants to block the appointment of Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Talk about a stand up guy! I am sure over the ensuing years he has given up being an outrigh bigot and made some black friends which has upped his equality stat +10.

BARF.

DUN DUN DUN

Fun with Zager and Evans lyrics:

RIPT

So much for going to the gym to work out... modern fashion and science have solved my problems!



Actual copy from the product site:

Compression garments have long been a staple in athletes’ locker rooms and RIPT FUSION applies the same concept now to men’s fashion. Compacting the abdomen and back creates a flatter silhouette under clothes, and the support offers other significant benefits, such as better posture and a greater sense of security. Because if he feels better, he looks better!

Drawing from the library of congress flickr...



There are a ton of photos of old timey boxers. People were very odd looking turn of the century.

Boxing!

BUTTHURT

The blogosphere is all a twitter about a recently created oil company partnership. Gazprom, the Russian oil firm has teamed up with the Nigerian govt owned NNPC and it is their NAME that is causing the uproar.

"A marketing blunder in Nigeria has got online communities all of a twitter, after a joint oil and gas venture with Russia was named Nigaz.
Russia's Gazprom and Nigeria's state-operated NNPC formed the company - pronounced "nye-gaz" - last week."
The Nigerian news hasn't even picked up the story. It seems like this would be horribly offensive, unless you understand that Russians and Nigerians pronounce things differently than we do in America. This all makes me wonder why on earth the BBC is reporting at all about twitter response to something. TWITTER IS NOT A NEWS SOURCE. Hell, even the subject matter expert in the article blows off the story.

story at BBC.
