Although they struck out at the Oscars, Joel and Ethan Coen’s True Grit was still one of 2010’s best films. Really it’s hard to go wrong when you throw Jeff Bridges into a Coen Bros movie, you can pretty much expect a classic (even the trailer had us excited). While filming the movie, Bridges carried […]

This sorta kinda reminds me of that Plane Hijacking Folding Credit Card Knife, only it’s not just a folding blade, but a money clip that can be carried around with you wherever you go. Winner for Most Innovative Knife Design, knife-maker John Kubasek’s Creditor Money Clip Knife is an intelligent way to hide your weapons […]

Because the Chinaman is not the issue here. I’m not sure this 3×5 potleaf, Duddha-with-a-bowling-ball throw rug will cause any throwdown issues like any rug ever did for the Dude, but if I had $245 lying around, I’d throw on my jellies and toss this puppy down right by my bong and bowling pins.

As Homer once said, “Beer: the cause of — and solution to — all of life’s problems.” Indeed Homer, indeed. Little do […]

The great literary magazine McSweeney’s returns with one of their most imaginatively plackaged issues, Number 36. Utilizing a very innovative presentation, which borrows more than a bit from Visionaire‘s philosophy of outside-the-box packaging (no pun intended), the “issue” is actually a 275-cubic-inch crate filled with goodies. The giant head box is filled with a litany […]

Angie H. Iver‘s artwork has a dream-like affect to it — surreal in content, and hazy and sometimes dark in execution.
