happy little beards, haaaappy little beards.

Read this. Just do it. It’s about Kevin Gillespie/David the Gnome/Beardo (obviously). If you don’t have a Halloween costume yet, dressing up as Kevin could be fun. Although finding fake beards online is a LOT harder than you’d think. I’m being Bob Ross, so I know these things. Thanks for the tip about Kevin, Lanster, [...]

because it’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers.

Happy Halloween, fuckfaces: By Colin Nissan I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find [...]

If you are fed up with federal politics and just need some new faith in government (or want to see something clever and aesthetically pleasing), read this: E Pluribus Unum Out of many, one. [Posted by Kathleen]

devil wears prada correspondent on MFCs.

Our dear friend — let’s call her Corporate Barbie — had the most ridonk, legit Anne-Hathaway-in-The-Devil-Wears-Prada job ever.

He’s Beardo to the Gawker live bloggers, David the Gnome to my roommate, and number one in my heart. (Yeah, I totally went there.) Ladies and gentlemen, let’s all take a few moments to appreciate the snuggly wonder that is Kevin from Top Chef: Um hi ginger beard. But he’s not just snuggly! He’s tough [...]

youtube clip of today: fun theory.

Oh huzzah, huzzah!  It’s Friday!  My heart is singing because I have been dreaming about sweatpants all day long and I can now see a light at the end of the long 9-5 tunnel.  But that has nothing to do with today’s YouTube clip of the day.  Silly me. I love this video.  This should [...]

i want to be an obama!

Today the White House released the official portrait of the First Family taken by Annie Leibovitz.  My first thoughts were “My GOD what a beautiful family” and “Where should I photoshop myself in?”  Creepy?  Yes.  True?  …Yes. And First Dog Bo wasn’t left out of the action.  In fact, Bo had his own set of [...]
