A quick how-to on making repeating designs on fabric printing. It's so simple, why didn't I figure that out!

Baby Teeth's "The Baby Teeth Album" is a blast.
Taking cues from Elton John and Hall & Oats, Baby Teeth captures emotional songwriting and makes it their bitch. The music is synth, guitar, and drum, and from that simple intersection they rock out, they bring on the funk, and they croon some really heartfelt ballads. All of their material is a bit tongue-in-cheek with lyrics such as "I want you to suck on my fat toes, I wish you would have all my lactose" followed by "Welcome to your velvet sweet heaven". They bring a very playful aspect to their songs and songwriting. If they had tried their serious side, they would have missed capturing the comic tragedy that is life.
I can not stress enough that Baby Teeth is excellent live. If you see them on a schedule, go see them live. They are a lot of fun. I would describe dancing at their shows as life affirming.
Who would like this album: Those who like words, melody, and the funk.
Who would hate this album: Stuck-up reviewer pricks.

It's a beautiful haircut of a woman being mauled by a hair-lion. I wonder what you have to tip? I'm gonna go for a flamingo!

This is one of a series of doodles I did while uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, and repeating for some work-related software that doesn't always take the first five times you install it. There is some voodoo command line instructions that never come with instructions, so they don't work whenever a new version come out. At least I got these doodles out of that deal.
This _will_ get cleaned up and turned into a tshirt.

Construction paper creativity plus performance art meets arthropod / mollusk / invertebrate coitus.
It's definitely worth the slow buffering time. It's like she can see directly into my head.

Manbabies. Take a picture with a man and his baby. Flip the heads. Scary hilarity ensues.

2 Live Crew's album Nasty As They Wanna Be is a seminal classic in the most literal interpretation of the word.
I'm bringing this one out of the 1980s vault, because we must occasionally shine off those old gems to remind the young'ns where we came from. For those of you too young or wholesome to remember, 2 Live Crew excels at making extremely filthy and vulgar rap music, set to background loops that are good enough for better lyrics. They don't just operate out of the gutter, they own the gutter, spending most of the time reveling in the male prowess and their abilities with the ladies. They are so vile, they make Snoop Dogg's early work look like Catholic Mass.
I'm not going to fool you, this album is crap. They don't cover a single lofty topic on the whole record. It is extremely good crap. I'm not going to repeat any of their lyrics here, but if you can get in the mindset, you will have a blast. I, personally, will be giving a copy to every 13-year old boy I know and tell them that I will castrate them if their parents find out.
Who would like this album: Teenage Boys.
Who would hate this album: Parents, Christians, Muslims, The Outrageable.

Now here is someone who is making something that approximates what is going on in my brain. Shower Art is 3-D art cast in transparent rubber with sparkle-neat stuff embedded inside. Support an original artist (_after_ supporting us :) )

Do you remember back when email was new and you would get a list of about 20 jokes? Then someone discovered that you could create a web page with hundreds of jokes?
This site is a collection of light bulb jokes. I stumbled upon it while trying to figure out how to recycle my compact fluorescent light bulb. I was tickled pink by all the lame humor. I hope you enjoy stupid jokes as much as I do.
