Gnomes + Zombies = GNOMBIES!

Most excellent.
Especially when you have neighbors that like to steal things from your lawn... like freshly planted Ornamental Pepper Plants. WHO DOES THAT?!??

Ha! Yes please!
And someone add this as their Facebook profile pic.
Pretty please?

P.S. This will probably only work if you are light skinned...yeah. Totally unfair.

Mmm...Beer Floats and Boozie Popsicles!

I like Guinness. That and Smithwick's are my most favorite dark beer to curl up with in the winter. Something about the stew-like consistency warms my heart when it gets chilly outside!

But now that's it's summer (hello 80º!) what's a girl to do?

What about a Guinness Beer Float!
Or perhaps a Witbier with Raspberry Sorbet?
This and 5 other tasty float recipes are listed on the Kitchn site!

Or better yet, "Dirty Pirate Popsicles"!
Made with Coke, Rum and Kahlua!

I tell you what... if our Hampden Ghetto Ice Cream Truck (TM) carried either of these babies, I'll be running after the truck like my life depended on it (instead of running in fear....)!

Get on da bus! The Go-Go thrifty shop bus!

Photo by Andy!

Completely caught off guard to get my picture taken... but Stacy is a natural!

This image from Baltimore Sun

My early Saturday mornings usually consist of not washing my hair, putting on some schlubby clothes and dashing my Etsy goods to the post office unseen by the public. So when, bleary-eyed, Andy and I stumbled down the avenue,  it took a few minutes to register what I was looking at.

This was no fuzzy nightmare of middle school...this was a fantastic school bus filled with thrifty goodies! Swoon!

Now I'm a pretty bouncy person, but the owner, Stacy, completely eclipsed me. Maybe it was because she just quit her day job? (YAY!) or because she had the most adorable puppy-in-a-basket to keep her company!? Either way, I had a great time browsing through the awesomeness. Even Andy enjoyed his time by petting the pooch and adding dry erase graffiti on the ceiling!

Check out the Go-go's Retread Threads bus stop schedule here!

Some other linkies:
Go-go's bus at Honfest! And at Hampdenfest! (How did I miss this!??? Oh wait... I was probably highly intoxicated. Nothing says "Yay Neighborhood" than drinking in public!)

Did I mention I love how random Hampden always seems to be?

A Watch to Drive My Hubs INSANE.

I have a ... uh..."fluid" sense of time as it is - much to the chagrin of my ALWAYS ontime hubs.
I think I might just buy one of these to cause a little more havoc in our lives.
MUAHAHAHH!!!
Oh shoot.. he sometimes reads this.
Uh... NEVERMIND! Wrong number! Wrong number!!

Yo momma is a shitty Graphic Designer!! BOO-YA!

Don't know why it took me so long to post this. I have literally read each of these like, 18,000 times - and repeated them at the most awkward places. (i.e. work, home, meetings, bathroom, to the boss).

Put your neighbor to shame with these Yo Momma's a Shitty Designer printable notepads. The file is 8.5x11 without bleed so print away on any standard printer and then just tear the sheet in half. 

Best one imo? Yo momma's so fat, she thought RGB was a sandwich!
Or .. Yo momma's so lo-res, she can't even save for web!

Btw, there is a call for entries! You got a good one? Share it!

Damn you Drafthouse! You're so awesome but so far away!

For Valentines, the Alamo Drafthouse is hosting a "Quote-Along & Feast" of the Princess Bride! (A movie, I can assure you, I can quote by heart). Best part? These clever bastards will have "Princess Bride Battle of Wits Bottle of Wine!"

I hope it comes with blindfolds and two glasses... because both glasses will be poisoned, since I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

DiG: Your mission is to GET ME SOME DARNIT.

Archimedes’ Scale Fruit Bowl! aka science is fun!

Archimedes’ Scale operates on the principle of buoyancy, submerging part of its body up to the appropriate line to measure the dry ingredients within.

That is pretty darn brilliant.

Or how about the Principle of Communicating Vessels?

This principle states that the liquid levels in two “communicating” containers will stay at equal levels in both. By making use of this principle, these vessels keep potted flowers and cut flowers supplied with fresh water.

Poop Coffee at Zeke's this Weekend!

By now you've probably heard of Kopie Luwak-civet coffee... the MOST EXPENSIVE COFFEE IN THE WOLRD! No? You mean you haven't heard of the Monkey poop it comes from?

I kid you not.

Let me tell you a little story of the Asian Palm Civet (the monkey culprit above). This scavenger scours the jungle eating the sweet red coffee beans he finds....then, yep! Poops out the undigested coffee beans!  Then some entrepreneurial genius gathers the poop, cleans it (tho never enough for my tastes),  grinds the digested coffee beans and charges outrageous amounts for it! Joy!

Boing Boing describes it best:

humans discovered that the enzymes in the civets’ tummies break down the coffee’s bitterness, leaving behind an extremely delicious pooped bean. 

I tell you all this because Zeke's, the best coffee in the known universe, is having a Tasting Event for Kopi Luwak this weekend!

I may need someone to come with to hold my hand...

And because I may have inadvertently destroyed your appetite, here's a cute kitty in a coffee cup as an apology:
