The other day we got a picture of Oliver eating a puff…
OR DID WE?
Who will be his next victim?? I did say I suspected him of being a vampire…
Fun Stuff
Super Hero Supplies
Unfortunately, I didn’t get this one up before Christmas. So hopefully you found something else for the superheros and super villains in your lives. However, for all future transactions, you’re going to want to look up the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.
The crazy part, it’s not just an online store! It’s a a real life brick-and-mortar store.
I would love to visit sometime!
There are so many items for sale, that I can’t even go into all of them here. You should check out the online store. Some of my favorite categories include:
- Capes – A must for any superhero. Including sidekick capes!
- Robots – Such as a robotic shark. What villain doesn’t need a robotic shark?
- Lairs – You can go high-tech with the forcefield generator, or low-tech with the prehistoric guardian fern.
- Lab Supplies – Including bottles of chaos, antimatter, or immortality, evil blob containment capsules, and even a tote bag! I like the unstable mutation catalysts. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone all over the city looking for “claws for hands”.
- Secret identities – Pick from several choices, such as “Selfless Firefighter”, “Cocky Fighter Pilot” or “Cranky Head Chef”
Selling the Lie
It’s almost Christmas. Do you have all your shopping done? Not to worry.
The key to lying about buying someone a Christmas present is to really sell it. You can’t get away with “It’s in the mail” anymore. You need documentation.
Enter Selling the Lie.
For the low price of $5, they will create fake documentation to “prove” that you ordered a present.
Once you’ve given us all the info we need, and paid your $5, we send you a fake order form for whatever you ordered from a fake store. A few days later, we send out a second email, this time stating that the product’s been placed on back order. Finally, a few days after the holiday/gift-giving occasion has passed, we send out an order cancellation.
It doesn’t stop there. If you’re the type of person who tries to weasel out of giving presents, you might run into some suspicion with this tactic. They emails they send even contain a fake link to a website, and if someone goes to that site, it displays a message saying the website is down.
Isn’t the Internet great? I mean, it doesn’t enable you to lie. You were going to lie anyway. You could even have generated your own fake documentation. No, the Internet makes you lazier. Now you don’t even have to go through the effort. Pay the $5 and get on with your life.
Thank you, unnamed genius, for creating this business.
Awkward Pregnancy Photos
Pregnancy can be a little awkward. That is not what Awkward Pregnancy Photos is all about.
When you are pregnant, it’s not unusual to take pictures of your belly. We did it. I assume most people did it. So this is about people who take pregnancy pictures, but the pictures themselves are a little…off. A little strange. It’s not the pregnancy itself, they would be strange pictures regardless. But there seems to be something about the pregnancy picture specifically that brings out some very odd pictures.
For example:
Do you think that's her husband back there? Or a random guy? Either way, it doesn't bode well for their future relationship...
I have no words for this. What do you think she decided to have in the picture first, the watermelon or the gun?
Nothing says love like a tire
Merry Christmas!
The thing that was surprising to me was how many gun pictures there are! Even if you owned guns, and you frequently took pictures of yourself with your guns, isn’t the pregnancy picture an inappropriate place for this? Celebrating life not death? At the very least, you’re trying to look tough with your gun, but it’s hard to do that if you’re also trying to show off the fact that you’re a proud papa.
And you should never, ever send a sexy Christmas card. Especially not a sexy/pregnant Christmas card.
Anyway, go check out the site, the commentary on the pictures is hilarious!
Shoot-a-brew
Alright, this is cool, I don’t care who you are.
A remote controlled cooler than launches cans to you.
I admit, it’s probably not as useful as the video makes it seem. I’m not yet so lazy that I can’t get up and walk over to the cooler (although the one where they’re launching it from the back of the boat into the water is kind of ingenious). And $295 is sort of pricey for a novelty item. However, nobody who saw one of these in action could fail to recognize its shear, unvarnished awesomeness.
Tell me you don’t want one?!
