Worst Nipple Pasties Ever
These adorable nipple pasties look like they were made for a stripper ready to go on Sesame Street. For more insanely ugly and strange pasties, check out this great post on Craftasrophe.
Wooden Woody Allen Brooch
Ladies and Gentlemen, lock up your Asian underage daughters because Woody’s got wood. Ok bad jokes aside, how hilarious is this Woody Allen pin? At a mere $26 it’s not over-priced for the level of craftsmanship and detail put into it.
If they made one of Larry David, I’d have to buy one for my BF on his birthday.
20 Amazing Abandonded Places
You may or may not know that I love the whole concept of “urban exploring” or searching through abandonded places. Weburbanist seems to be as well, as they are frequent posters of abandoned places. This new collection has some really stunning images from twenty different abandoned sites in Europe. I think my favorite is Cheateau Noisy In Belgium.
Donate to My PayPal Fund
I really NEED to win this eBay auction so I can punch this tool in the face. No, really, that’s what the auction is for. If you donate to my paypal, I just might be able to raise enough money to win the auction and get an airline ticket to North Carolina, just to punch this guy in the face. It’s totally worth it. If you help me fulfill my dream by donating $2 or more, I promise to send you an autographed 8×10″ glossy of me punching him in the face. Muchas Gracias mi amigas.

This placenta crochet piece by Souviner_Kattunge is adorably disgusting. Man do I love Flickr.
Beer Pong Linked To Herpes Rise
I don’t hate booze, but I really do think drinking games are pathetic most of the time. Maybe it’s because my ex of three years was an obsessive beer drinker. Regardless, I couldn’t help but laugh when I read this headline. Funny enough, they’re only talking about oral herpes from sharing glasses, not the other kind from losing one too many beer pong games.

Hasbro Word of the Day: “Dildo”
This is too funny, I have no idea how the word ended up in the Scrabble’s word of the day database, but it was actually up on the Hasbro Scrabble site today. Things like this make life worth living.
A Toast to Comfort
Consumerist tipped me off to an awesome event in Chicago -a Snuggie Pub Crawl. I know most people hate these things, but as someone who practically spends all their home time with a blanket on, I want one. And I want to go to this awesome event. If only I lived a few thousand miles from my home sweet home in San Diego. No, I think I’d still rather live here and choose blankets willingly, not out of necessity.
Bear Sleeping Bag -A “Roaring” Good Time
I love this bear sleeping bag by artist Eiko Ishizawa. BoingBoing discovered it and I have to say, I need one. You know they’re extra good because if you’re camping in the wilderness, they might just save your life when an angry bear attacks your camp. Ok, maybe not, but they’re surely warmer than the average non-bear bag.
