Animal fun – The Zedonk

You’re looking at a Zedonk… an adorable cross between a donkey and a zebra. She’s becoming a star attraction at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve in Dahlonega, Georgia after being born there about a week ago. She has black stripes that she gets from her zebra father and a great ass she gets from her donkey [...]

Garage Sale – Find of the week!

Rick Norsigian is my kind of garage sale shopper. He bought a collection of 65 glass negatives at a garage sale for $45. Today, his find–a never before seen collection of photographs by Ansel Adams–will go on display in California. They are estimated to be worth $200 million!!! Pardon me while I run out to [...]

Garage Sale – Real Housewife foreclosure style

Teresa Giudice, the Real Housewife of NJ foreclosure princess who is $11 million in debt, is selling the overblown monstrosity of a house for a few dollars shy of $4 million. But if that’s out of your budget, can I interest you in her grill, her boat, her tractor, or her wedding ring? Gawker has [...]

History of Fun – Legos!

Legos are internationally beloved by kids of all ages, the perfect plastic medium to build anything your mind can invent. I just visited the Lego store in NYC and was inspired. Did you know Legos began in a small village in 1930s Denmark, a carpenter named Old Kirk Christiansen opened a store to sell the [...]

Life 101 – We all bark for…

Westminster recently asked me if he could go to England. I thought it might be to sniff out the Abbey, but then I heard about this: a doggone smart entrepreneur in England is serving up doggie ice cream in flavors to make you bark. Chicken flavored ice cream served in a wafer cone with a [...]

Dinner Party Talk – Paris Live

If you love Paris, and you love spying on people, then Paris Live is for you. The borderline creepy/awesome site features six webcams strategically placed around the Eiffel Tower, so you can view the tower (which looks exactly the same from the front and back) at all hours of the day. What’s really fun are [...]

According to the AP, 20 year old Vaneisha said she used to wear the jersey-shaped pendant to high school until gemologist Jerry Ehrenwald appraised [...]

Holidays – National Watermelon Month

July is National Watermelon Month, so proclaimed by Congress. Did you know that the United States produces 4,200,000,000 pounds of watermelon annually and it’s grown in 49 States? (I’m guessing Alaska is stuck on wolf hunting.) Read the House Proclamation here. Or enjoy these darn cute pictures of polar bears eating watermelon. This weekend I’m [...]

Dinner Party Talk – The Candwich

We’ve now reached a whole new funky fresh level of GROSS. Eater has the unbelievable, but true, story of The Candwich, a sandwich in a can that comes in three flavors: peanut butter and strawberry jam, peanut butter and grape jam, and, the most one that sends shivers down my spine: BBQ Chicken. But wait! [...]

Life 101 – BP Oil Crisis and Surfer Mag

While we’re hearing about BP and the oil spill on the news every night, I’m a little surprised the coverage hasn’t gone much beyond the politics and finger-pointing. Turns out I’m not the only one, and my friends at Surfer magazine just started a BP Oil Crisis blog. It’s equally refreshing as it is tear-jerking: [...]
