Snow brings out the one-upper in people; any time you complain about some awful snow storm, some dick has a story about how they lived in the mountains of Colorado and shoveled six feet of snow. DarkRoastedBlend.com collected a bunch of awesome snow and ice pictures that will make you feel better about your winter, or worse, if you’re the martyr-type. A couple more pics after the jump. Enjoy!
A couple of months ago I featured Joshua Hoffine’s horror photography. If you’re wondering why your pictures don’t turn out as awesome as his, here’s the answer: David LaChappelle-like sets and budget. OK, Hoffine isn’t bringing in A-list celebrities like Chapelle, but he did an amazing job with a set to get one photo. The Chive has the complete set of pictures.
According to Edible. com, Giant Hornet Honey, when consumed, gives you a pick-me-up effect, strength, and energy. All of that may or may not be true, but what I know to be a fact is that this honey looks *badass*. This is the honey I would put in my tea if I were a superstitious Japanese mobster with a thirst for blood and a lack of apologies! Actually, this is the honey I would put in my tea if I cared to afford a $35 small bottle of honey with a huge bug in it. Either way, this site is truly unique and has an admirable mission of delivering unusual delicacies to the western world. See more after the jump!

Today’s featured artist, Mark Allyn, uses clothing, shower curtains, lighting, and bikes as his mediums. He’s been doing this for at least 15 years, and his work, which started with turning clear plastic shower curtains into raincoats, has evolved over time to the work you see featured here. Unfortunately, he’s no longer doing custom work, but perhaps you’ll be inspired to do your own.

Up until I was 25 I bought underwear in packs of 6 for about $10. They were white cotton briefs: “tighty whiteys”.
Then, I discovered skid marks.
Surely, differently colored underwear would solve that problem–solve it like having a baby solves marital problems. They didn’t sell these fancy man-panties in packs of six, though. I had to resort to spending $10 on a single pair of Calvin Kleins.
$10 underwear was wonderful, though. I had a skip in my step and a song in my heart. I danced like noone was watching. My spouse was spared the skids.
I don’t know about you folks, but where I live it is *cold*. Today it was about 15º F, and when I put on my hat to go outside I realized it was missing something. What it was missing were legs, a face and a history rich with feelings and instincts. So, I would never actually wear one of these road-kill looking creations on my head, but they do give me a good chuckle. If that’s too macabre for you, perhaps you can just appreciate the expressions of the poor fellow that had to model them. See more absurdity after the jump!

This is for all guys, and the women who will never again ask them to fix something: There I Fixed It. Part of me laughs as I scoff at other guy’s shoddy work. Part of me knows I’ve done some of these same things.
Like the time I held my hood down with a rope. Or the ‘79 Mercury Bobcat that didn’t have reverse, so I always had to park on an incline so I could coast backwards from the spot. Right now, my computer case is open and there’s an internal hard disk literally hanging from it’s cable because I didn’t have a slot for it. Once I plugged in two desktops next to each other and ran an internal power cable from one computer to the other, because my computer didn’t have enough connectors. Oh, and I stuck a computer precariously to my dash because I was too cheap to buy navigation.
