My bus stop is right by my favorite phone booth in all of Petaluma. Not because I ever use it, or even touch it. I just like that it actually exists. And it’s pink. Today, it was even better. Thanks to this Real California Cheese Pizza Guy flashin’ signs.
Blurred in the background—the famous neon sign that proudly proclaims, “This ain’t no limp crust sissy-boy pizza.” It sure isn’t. Homeslice will kick your ass if you don’t give him a quarter. Are calls still a quarter?
Good luck getting many right. And better luck not getting this tune stuck in your head, “Name that beard! … Name that beard!! … Can you name that beeeeeard?”

A former Creative Director of mine moved to NYC a few years ago and has been steadily packin’ on the poundage ever since. So to go on a diet he can actually stick to, the man’s gone public. Witness The Twitter Diet. ‘Cuz everyone knows you can ignore yourself. You can’t ignore strangers on the interwebs.
We’re all pullin’ for you down at the factory!
Now put a shirt on fer’chrissakes.

Form and function have never been so inextricably combined. The fine folks of Tucson design studio Xylocopa have inlayed the 25 major moustache groups into one ukulele. Imagine the possibilities. See more pics. (Thanks, Rich!)
First there was the human-sized Gundam. Now, three years later, a life-sized Gundam! Currently towering over Shiokaze Park on Tokyo’s Odaiba Island. It’s the first event of three major events planned for the Gundam 30th Anniversary by toymaker Bandai.
1350 feet above the Chi-Town ‘crete is The Ledge. $14.95 grants you access. But three layers of half-inch thick glass keeps you from throwing stuff down (including your body). Full article on the Trib.
