The other day I was making fun of my friend’s Nike shirt (because I was bored, and that’s how I roll!) and the conversation went something like this:
Me: Nice unicorn shirt.
Him: It’s not a unicorn.
Me: No really, it’s very masculine. You totally don’t look like a pansy or anything.
Him: It’s a Pegasus, dumb ass! You know, the winged horse from Greek mythology? Anyway, it’s not a unicorn.
Me: Maybe it’s a magical liopleurodon?
Him: I hate you.
Yes, we are approximately 12 years old. ;-)
But if he had been wearing the astoundingly ridiculous Burton Unicorn Socks, he would have been able to whip off his shoes and show me what a real unicorn looked like! Because manly men would rather wear a unicorn than a stupid Pegasus.
Nod and smile … Nod and smile.

Ice is a funny thing, y’know. It usually only serves to dilute whatever you’re drinking while providing a minor (and very temporary) cooling sensation – yet I love novelty ice cube trays with their endearing oddity. And let’s not forget those rockin’ LED color-changing cubes, which are usually neither icy nor useful in any respect, other than making it look like you just stumbled off a booze cruise during spring break. (“Omigod, I am so wasted!”) But rather than tinkling in your hoisted pint glass while drunk chicks flash their cleavage, these Easter Island ice cubes are more likely to stare at you ominously with disapproval. Ahhh, but thrill to the chill of the icy Moai, with their hooded eyes and Leno-esque chins! Watch in awe as their ancient mystical powers allow them to disappear before your eyes!
… Hey shut up, it’s the best I could do! And anyway, how many ancient monolithic figures have melted into your beverages lately?
Exactly.

As someone who was born n’ bred in the Reagan era and still indulges a great love for ’80s nostalgia, I couldn’t help but break out a prolonged “d’awwwwwww” when I saw the various cassette tape wallet designs by Etsy artisan Brave Moonman. I love how they’re a mix of authentic cassette tape goodness with a liberal dash of whimsy. My favorite is the gray ♥ Mix, but there are many different styles to choose from, ranging in price from the $35 standards to the $52 special editions.

I’m curious about who the intended recipient is for this chocolate scented calculator by The Lighter Side. It seems like it would drive a chocoholic crazy, and it it would either be a popular distraction or completely irritating in class or the office. But it would make a pretty funny (if completely wicked) gag gift for that friend of yours who is always trying to watch her weight.
You: “Check it out! I got you a chocolate calculator so you can enjoy the delicious aroma of a Hershey bar without actually eating one. And hey, you can use it to add up all the calories you’ll be saving!”
Her: “Die in a fire.”
