1. I haven't tried it yet - - but here's a guide to putting on duvet covers.

2. Rolling Stone has a fascinating interview with Sean Penn. For example, he talks about his childhood friends:
One lived in Hawaii, came home to Malibu to visit — this is later, in his mid-20s — intentionally ran over somebody with his car, got out of the car, stripped naked and started screaming about God. That was one of them. One guy we surfed with, we used to go to Zuma Beach in the morning before junior high school. We took a bunch of quaaludes before we went out surfing, and he just drifted off into the ocean, and nobody ever found him. Another guy I surfed and played Little League with, he was dealing and doing blow and shot himself off the edge of a cliff in a car. Another guy killed his mother. Another guy I was in jail with, actually — I think he's dead now.
3. Official Dungeons and Dragons character based on the clever work of Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik. They're at their best when they're trying to be lame.

Vintage Disney ads are so funable (link roundup)



Kevin Kidney has posted several funable and friendlyable vintage Disney newspaper ads.

2. Princess Peach cosplay.

3. At my Coraline site Evil Buttons, Coraline's plush button squid.

4. Article about a small Ohio town that relied on DHL as an employer and is now suffering from massive layoffs. One worker named Keith Rider describes the lost job:
We could tell you what we did on a daily basis, but you wouldn't believe it. You know, boxes in a big container, and it'll weigh 800 pounds, you push it out the door through eight inches of snow, and push it up on a barge, and we were idiots enough that we did it by ourselves. We worked as a team, and we had a good friend right along side of us."
