It’s been a little while since we featured a single-image list (the famous robot T-shirt design must have been the most recent, and of course the teddy bears in wagons were the first), but fashion photographer Leonard Gren’s shot of 8 B-Boys Wearing Paper Bags seemed like a good opportunity to break the dry spell. [...]

As you may have noticed, we’re big fans of nerdy costumes. And though we’d never thought of basing a costume on the likeness of an actual video game console, perusing Unreality’s listicle of 15 Video Game Console Costumes, well, we started to think that we’d have picked an Atari joystick or a Dreamcast controller for [...]

Sadly, we’ve never been to Japan, but if their taste for themed and simply spaced-out hotel decoration is anything to go by, we pretty much belong there.
So we’re going to start planning our trip right now, and being that we’re largely ignorant of Japanese culture and history (a shortcoming the journey will hopefully remedy), we’re [...]

It’s funny, we always thought Chris Tucker’s character Ruby Rhod (pictured) from The Fifth Element had pretty much the coolest haircut ever–a haircut that, incidentally, makes for a very challenging Halloween costume. We’re frankly shocked that Mr. Rhod ended up in Vulture’s listicle of The 12 Worst Haircuts of the Future, but we’re surprised by [...]

Summer is clearly over early this year (at least that’s the way it looks in New York these days), and just like we did our annual bathing suit shop a few months back, now we’re thinking about our annual umbrella shop. We’re going to start by consulting mental_floss’s listicle of 10 Weird and Wet Umbrellas, [...]

Anytime we can find a convenient shorthand or graphic representation for the pioneering work of scientist Charles Darwin we seize upon it, and if we were more into getting tattoos than we are into looking at them, we might even get one of the cool ink jobs featured in Cakehead Loves Evil’s listicle of 9 [...]

As you’ve surely heard by now, Patrick Swayze, the 80s superstar responsible for the enduring popularity of the mullet and, conversely, making it okay for men to wear leggings, passed away yesterday after a bout with pancreatic cancer at the age of 57. Lest we forget, though, he did a great deal to make it [...]

Clayton Moore, the actor who played the iconic TV Western superhero The Lone Ranger, would have been 95 today had he not died in 1999. In celebration of his work as one of the most American of the early superheroes (The Lone Ranger first appeared in 1933 as a radio program, then later as a [...]

As we all know all too well, people get some really terrible tattoos. From logo tattoos and unicorn tattoos to Obama tattoos and misspelled tattoos, folks just don’t stop to think long enough to realize that the thing about to be permanently written on their skin is extremely lame, uncool, silly, offensive or wrong. We [...]

As kids, we definitely went through a phase when we were into military mission patches and medals. It kind of made sense: they’re basically the army equivalent of trading cards in sports. Of course, we got over our brief bout of militarism, but we still dig us some retro NASA mission patches.
They tend to be [...]
