Michael Bublé Being Stalked by a Velociraptor

I like this site a lot.
I would like this site more if they depicted the velociraptor as the size of a turkey like they actually were.
The creators of this site probably think a brontosaurus is a real dinosaur!
FOOLS!

Weird Stuff On Etsy


Woah, sorry, it's been a minnit.

Etsy is a super-rocking Internet marketplace for handcrafted and vintage items. It acts as a connection between buyers and individual sellers.

While Etsy is a great place to find adorable home decor and vintage items (ankle boots, yes.), it also plays host to some crazy stuff. Here's a small sampling of weird things I saw on Etsy today.

This magnet. Funny, no?

GOOMBA EARRINGS.

A wolf hair amulet. Necessary.

Oscar Wilde Prayer Candles, just in time for Lent!

A bobcat skull! YES.

If you prefer embalmed octopi in jars, you can find that, too.

Natasha Khan


She is an ethereal superhuman.


I don't know how Fly Hunniez went so long without acknowledging her beauty.
I think it's because it goes without saying.

Jeff Pianki

For the most part I'm not a big fan of guys my age who play acoustic guitar. It starts earnestly but quickly descends into the depths of cheap John Mayer (who is already mediocre) knockoffs like this God-awful travesty. A few diamonds in the penny mine are able to transcend the AE-wearin', Owl City-listenin', Adam Brody-lookin' cliché.

An exception to this acoustic hellhole: Jeff Pianki.


Sugarplum Bear posted this video on the wall of Dutchess Dragonmane and I was immediately on board with this guy. I triple dog dare you not to giggle when you watch it.

His music, like Sugarplum says, "makes my heart smile." Sure, sometimes it does start sliding into the realm of guitar-boy stereotype-land, but there's something, I don't know what, but something that keeps it genuine.

Is it that he's Michigan-born and Midwest is best?
Or that he's a freckled redhead?
Or that his blog shows how he's just a normal, nice dude?
I don't know. What I do know is he's talented and my auditory nerves enjoy what he does.

Jazzy Jeff's Last FM has a gaggle of his songs available for free download. And his Youtube account features a bunch of originals, covers, and collaborations including another with his precious sister that may just be cuter than Say Hello.

I'll let you find it.

Here's a hint:

Tambourines


Best instrument ever: the cello.
Second best instrument ever: the lute.
Instrument I like: the TAMBOURINE.

The tambourine may not be the coolest, most technical, or most unique instrument. Actually, as an instrument, it kind of sucks. But aesthetically, the tambourine is really fun.

It's rhythmic and fun and jangly and can be pretty and yes.


Tambourines are a lot like me. Kind of useless, mostly filler, but SUPER FUN.
Seriously any band is better with a tambourine.

Peter Gabriel Revisted

Remember when I professed my love for Peter Gabriel?

I still do...

Variations on the Wedding Entrance Revisited


Jim and Pam's wedding? The writers are totally reading our blog because we are the only place that reported the choreographed "Forever" routine. You're welcome, America.

I am still upset about Jim's choice of Pam over Karen. Karen is an ambitious, witty, and independent woman. Pam is a mousy, annoying twit who dropped out of art school. Also, during the earlier seasons, she had really gross hair. Pam embodies the girl you settle for, Karen is the lady you dream of.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that my heart was a-goin' pitter-patter during the whole wedding episode. And, fair enough, I melted into a puddle of estrogen when Jim cut his tie, but let's be real here, it all would've been way better with Karen.

Fuck Pam, Team Karen 4eva.
