Forest Moon Distressed - Beware Of Imperial Imitations


Forest Moon Distressed by DC Visual Arts

Ewoks don't know nothin' about shaving, warring, designing clothing or making a meal that doesn't have fur in it, but those little bear cub lookin' critters sure brew a mean wheat ale. The Forest Moon beer recipes have been passed down for many millennia, and since the beer is made with the lush bounty Endor provides for them Ewok brewers are some of the biggest brewery stars in the entire galaxy. In fact, those little furballs could build an empire on their beer if they ever decided to bottle and export it, but they're too busy drinking and dancing to worry about profit!

The Greatest Action Figure Playsets Of The 80s And 90s

When action figure playsets first came out they were basically just a stage for your figures to run around on, helping guide imagination but adding very little to playtime.

But then the epic playsets of the 80s and 90s came along and raised the bar for all future playsets, forever changing the way kids played with their action figures.

The playsets of the 80s had molded plastic features, which made them look way cooler than the cardboard sets of the 70s, and they often featured action elements which made the imaginary battles even more fun.

Castle Grayskull is one of the most iconic playsets of the 80s, followed closely by the G.I. Joe Aircraft Carrier and the Star Wars Death Star Space Station playsets, but these sets are low on the list in terms of epicness.

Did you want He-Man to battle in a playset worthy of his massively macho stature when you were a kid?

Then you had to convince your parents to throw down the big bucks for one of the most massive playsets of all time- The Masters Of The Universe Eternia playset, which goes for around a thousand bucks on eBay these days.

Swarm Of Bees Follows Woman's Car For Two Days

Bees don't understand the concept of car ownership, so when their queen decides to hitch a ride inside a car the rest of the colony goes along for the ride, whether the car's owner likes it or not.

But their bee-fuddlement usually ends when the queen frees herself from the car so the colony can go on its merry way to a more suitable hive, usually within a few hours or at most overnight.

But Carol Howarth of Haverfordwest, Wales came back to her car after shopping and found the rear covered with bees, and the swarm followed her car for two days.

A team of three beekeepers, a national park ranger and a few passersby were able to box up the bees without killing them, but to Carol's amazement the swarm returned later that same day so she called the team in once again.

The swarm was made up of an estimated 20,000 bees, and yet no queen was ever found so it's unclear why the bees were so intent on swarming all over Carol's car. Maybe they're sweet on her?

Stained Glass Windows Featuring Controversial Figures As Saints

Many controversial characters have achieved sainthood throughout history, and even saints like Paul the Apostle, Francis of Assisi and Teresa of Avila have skeletons in their closet.

So perhaps in some far off future age, when there's nothing left of the entertainers of today but the strong impression they made on pop culture, the stars will achieve sainthood.

If those idols and sinners ever get called up to the big leagues and become saints the stained glass windows created in their honor will probably look a lot like the amazing works of Neal Fox.

Neal wanted to pay homage to the gods of the underground such as Johnny Cash, J.G. Ballard, Hunter S. Thompson, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Serge Gainsbourg in a hip yet traditional manner.

So he built his stained glass panels the old fashioned way- using leaded stained glass in a steel frame, with each window measuring about 8 feet tall.

From the Daniel Blau exhibition notes:

As traditional church windows show the iconography of saints, through representations of events in their lives, instruments of martyrdom and iconic motifs, Fox plays with the symbolism of each character’s cult of personality; Albert Hoffman takes a psychedelic bicycle ride above the LSD molecule, J G Ballard dissects the world, surrounded by 20th Century imagery and the eroticism of the car crash, and Johnny Cash holds his inner demon in chains after a religious experience in Nickerjack cave.

Better Not Look At The Stats Screen After Your Character Is Dead

The stats screen is fun to look at while you're playing through a video game, so you can see how many kills you have under your belt, how close you are to finding all the secrets, and how many hours you've been playing the game.

But heed this illustrated warning by Deathbulge Comics and don't look at the stats screen after your character is dead, or you may find some disturbing stuff going down in video game land...

He Man Action Figure - Orko Sold Separately

Cowardly Lion's Courage Juice - The Magical Secret Of Oz


Cowardly Lion's Courage Juice by Mike Lauzon

We didn't get to hear all the facts regarding Dorothy's companions in the Land of Oz because Baum's books were meant for children, but several memoirs have come out in the last century which show the darker side of Oz. The Tin Man is said to be a masochist, fond of playing punishment games which leave him needing to be welded the next day, and the Scarecrow is actually made of mostly synthetic fibers. But the Cowardly Lion's plight was the darkest of them all, as his drinking problem made him both a hopeless bum and a punching bag for the local barflys. He was a coward and an alcoholic, and the trembling we saw in the movie was actually just the shaking of a mangy cat in need of the hair of the dog that bit him!

Rewrite childhood memories wherever you go with this Cowardly Lion's Courage Juice t-shirt by Mike Lauzon, it's funny even when you're not drunk on Jack Daniels!

Hilarious English Language T-Shirt Translation Fails Spotted In Asia

(Image Link)

English speakers wear t-shirts or get tattoos with Chinese or Japanese lettering even though they have no idea what the words actually say, and Asian companies likewise put English words on stuff to make it look cool.

(Image Link)

Shirts with funny stuff written on them create funny moments when someone who speaks both languages offers to tell the wearer what their shirt actually says, often resulting in a response of "whaa?!"

(Image Link)

However, some shirts have stuff written on them that doesn't seem like a mistranslation, and it's so close to right the whole statement somehow becomes even righter.

(Image Link)

There are also dozens of shirt designs posted online that look like an English speaker created them as a prank, with expletives and adult material printed on kids clothes.

But these two sweaters are subtly subversive, made to remind parents which of their kids is the good one.

Slumbering Driver Shows Us What The Freeways Of The Future Will Look Like

Thanks to the forward thinking folks at Tesla Motors we can see what freeway traffic will look like in the future when “inefficient” human driven cars are replaced by self driving models- basically a bunch of people sleeping at the wheel.

(YouTube Link)

The problem is- this Tesla Model S isn't actually self-driven, and while the Autopilot has a function called Autosteer that moves the car about for you drivers are supposed to stay ready to take the wheel.

Sleeping while your car drives you home after work does seem like a pretty cool innovation, but since we're not there yet technologically sleepy drivers like the one in this video are going to be nightmares on wheels.

The Character Creation Process Is More Fun Than The Game

For some adventures are the fun part of roleplaying games, others like collecting loot, or taking epic screenshots of their character in battle looking like a god, but for a select few the character creation process is where it's at.

These particularly picky people will spend hours choosing from tons of different hair styles, facial features, markings, skin tones and such to create the perfect character, only to realize they've "missed a spot".

Christian Palmer-Smith from Kit Draws! knows this feel, fellow gamers, and this comic was created to help other character creation obsessed players from making the same mistake he did.

If Disney Movies Were Rewritten By Popular Websites

It's getting to the point where creativity has been completely drained from the entertainment industry, and Hollywood filmmakers have resigned themselves to asking the internet for help.

As we all know this is a bad idea, as the internet community tends to come up with half baked ideas that can be summed up in 140 characters or less.

So maybe they should reach out to specific websites for ideas instead of asking the internet as a whole?

These clever cartoons by Jhall and Tristan Cooper of Dorkly give us a visual example of what Disney movies rewritten by popular websites would look like...

Whelp, back to the drawing board, Disney!

This Star Wars Pug-Crawl is the Cutest Geek Dog Fest Ever

Only in Portland would a pub-crawl involve dressing pugs up as Star Wars characters and parading them down the street -and if that's what it means to keep Portland weird, I'm all in.

The event was well documented on Twitter and Fashionably Geek rounded up a few of the best costumes from the parade, including this amazing Bespin Cloud City pug that was apparently totally cool with being carried on his owner's shoulders all day.

A few owners even got in on the fun, like this Jabba the Hut partnered with his precious Salacious Crumb pup.


Are Daniel Radcliffe And Elijah Wood Part Of Clone Club?

There are at least two articles posted online about how similar Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe look, and how this is either proof they were separated at birth or that they're part of a clone conspiracy.

Daniel has remarked "Me and Elijah Wood just need to do a film together where we play brothers" to distract from the cloning angle and make it all look like it's just a coincidence.

But when you see their portraits side-by-side and then look at a GIF showing the subtle differences between Elijah and Daniel the clone stuff somehow seems more plausible.

(Image Link)

Does this GIF prove they're part of a clone conspiracy? Nah, all it really proves is that Hollywood likes to cast facial "types", and both of these megastars fit the mold.
