GET: Sorry, We’re Signs

Aesthetic Apparatus has started making plastic window signs. According to their site they are “shiny and smell like a brand-new Barbie doll ass”. That works for me. Just $20 gets you the full set.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway


WHEN: October 26th – December 5th
WHERE: New York City’s Stephen Sondheim Theatre, 124 West 43 Street
WHAT: Every bit of childhood awesomeness you’d want it to be; it’s Pee-wee, Mss Yvonne, Cowboy Curtis, Jamba, Reba the Mail lady, and more. Live! Plus a word of the day for you to scream at.

WATCH: Autotuned Wolves

I’m pretty sure this is what wolves sounded like in the 80s. Yup. How fun is that?

NSFW: Girls In Front Of Art


Girls In Front Of Art is an online collection of pictures of paintings. Click the one you like to see that picture, with a naked girl in front of it. Good times, right? Completely NOT SAFE FOR WORK (90% of the girls are seriously enjoying their alone time) which is odd really, seeing as 90% of art features naked girls anyway. You’ve been warned though.

PLAY: Dummy Never Fails

Throw the dummy to the target. You’ve got to hit it to get to the next level, but the less pain your crash-test buddy recieves, the better. There’s 52 levels, 51 dummy skins to unlock, a level editor and a whole lot of dummy tossing fun. Click the pic to get the game.

MAKE: Iron Man Mask and Arc Reactor

No, really though, isn’t it time you got one of these? Instructables has the full how-to, along with a sweet redesign. Other good ‘structables worth checking into this week: Gummy Legos (build something, then eat it, yum), Desktop Skee-ball (if you build it, they will come), and a Bubblesteen Bubble Machine (a Jewish bubble-making machine, how fun is that?).

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Naked Painting Party


WHEN: May 26th, 8PM
WHERE: Gallery Bar, 120 Orchard St, NYC
WHAT: A party like none other. No clothes. No inhibitions. Just smiles, paint, and nakedness. There are of course rules…
Leave your expensive stuff at home or in coat check.
No paint throwing.
No pantsing.
Expect to be photographed.
Bring towels and enjoy the cab ride home with paint on your ass. How fun is that?

FUN VIDEO: Paul Rudd’s Computer

“Computer, load up celery man…” What will your first sequence of the day be?

PLAY: Hue Shift

Use the arrows to change the color of your pixel. Use the space bar to make it jump. See how high you can climb. You have to be the color to be on the color (for the most part). This is about as frustratingly mesmerizing as it gets. Click the pic to get the game.

MAKE: Street Paintings (the big, easy, fun way)

Turns out, to make roadway paintings such as these, all you’ve got to do is dump piles of paint in different spots on the street, sit back and relax as the traffic does the rest. Check the full collection of pictures, video and more, courtesy of the German crew who innovated the technique, after the jump.
