– The things you find at garage sales: No, seriously. Someone on Imgur claims to have found this at a garage sale.
– At least you might have a large area of the beach or pool to yourself: While we’re looking at pictures of strange things, check out this swimsuit, called Dem Guts. This comes to us from Black Milk, which Boing Boing calls “Australia’s leading purveyor of anatomical womenswear.”

Dads just aren’t safe anywhere anymore.
You just cannot make this stuff up (h/t Mental Floss).
– Culturally appropriative irony, explained? PolicyMic has a piece on why hipsters seem to think it’s cool to wear Native American headdresses. The short answer is that there is no good reason, but plenty of reason to stop doing it: Continue reading
– That’s, uh, subtle: Here’s a dress that supposedly becomes transparent when some electronic doodads detect that the wearer is becoming aroused. It’s from the not-all-all-pretentious-sounding INTIMACY 2.0 project (video more or less SFW):
– Kill it with fire!: (Wasp nest + wooden statue) × several years = nightmare fuel. You know what to do.

– You’re doing it wrong: A high school student in Pennsylvania got suspended after making what probably seemed like a bold move during a school assembly featuring the reigning Miss America, Nina Davuluri. During a Q&A session about whatever it is Miss Americas talk to kids about, the 18 year-old stood, asked her to be his prom date, and walked up to the stage with a flower. Reports indicate that Miss Davuluri was flattered, and the whole school cheered, but the higher-ups were less amused. He got a three-day suspension, and while Miss Davuluri politely declined the invitation, she asked the school to reconsider his punishment.
– An Indiana Jones adventure worthy of LeBeouf: The Video Game Crash of 1983 was something that actually happened and has a cool, ominous-sounding name. The industry didn’t recover in North America for several years, when the Nintendo Entertainment System came along. One of the major culprits in the crash was Atari’s movie tie-in game for 1982’s E.T., which was one of the first video games to throw almost everything into its title and marketing and almost nothing into actual gameplay. The game sucked so much that Atari allegedly buried all the unsold cartridges in the desert. Continue reading
Did you hear me? I said pizza cake.
Pizza. Cake.
PIZZA CAKE!!!
Look, just shut up and do whatever pizza cake tells you to do. Let pizza cake be your guide.
If you only see one set of footprints on the beach, it’s because I ditched your ass to go get some pizza cake.
I found “Girl with the Skeleton Hand,” by Ananth Panagariya and Yuko Ota, via Imgur. Here’s a sample:
The stories are actually quite touching, and not so much creepy, but they balance quite deftly between the two themes.
You can find more of their work at Johnny Wander.
Via beautifullivingdolls.tumblr.com, a blog that actually exists.
– Maybe not such a good role model: Valeria Lukyanova, the Ukrainian model who has transformed herself into a life-sized Barbie doll, has made some pretty out-there statements about how she hopes to one day be able to live as a “breatharian,” meaning that she subsists solely on air and sunlight. Good luck with that.
Anyway, it turns out that, without makeup, she still looks a lot like a Barbie doll.
Also, she seems to be pretty racist, which might not be that surprising for someone who wants to be the exemplar of white blondeness. She also said she hates kids.
– The headline says it all: Rich People Call Cops On Statue Of Homeless Jesus.
– They messed with the wrong squirrel: Seriously, man, squirrels will mess your sh!t up. Especially in Indiana: Continue reading
It’s not a good idea to keep an alligator (or any other species of crocodilian) in your pool. It’s not healthy for the alligator, and depending on the gator’s age and size, it is even less healthy for you and your pool party guests.
It is, however, on occasion, hilarious.
Today’s recommended reading: The Enigma of Amigara Fault by Junji Ito. I don’t even know how to describe it. It certainly channels H.P. Lovecraft, but the story operates on a much more personal level.
Click the first page to go to the entire story, which is posted at OpenAwesome.com. Remember that manga are printed right-to-left, so read accordingly:
It’s also posted at the delightfully-named brasscockroach.com.
– As Smooth as a Spring Evening in Highgarden: Okay, I have no idea what could legitimately be called “smooth” in Westeros. Anyway, here’s the Game of Thrones theme played as smooth jazz:
– It’s for a good cause: I realize that charitable causes can have a difficult time raising awareness, but this is (hopefully) the first time anyone has thought of Tasering a woman in a bikini, and charging people to watch.
