THE URBANE MOOSE:
Courtney Timmermans takes a different approach to her mounted trophies. Nifty. I wonder if this would go with the lightbulb tester bar thing?
DOUBLE MONK OH NO? Admittedly, it is hard to judge the impact this will have on Allen Edmonds shoes. But still. Change can be messy. Sometimes. Let’s hope it’s not here if it happens. Hat Tip to reader Jay for this one. Update: And thanks to Logan in the comments for this. Reassuring.
ACCESSORIES FROM HELL: No no no no no no and hell no.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DANCE…:
TUMBLR OF THE DAY: This might just be better than Hova’s new platter.
BIG BROTHER IS EVERYWHERE: For some reason this bothers me more than the NSA controversy. Do they need to know how often I go to the dry cleaners or my tailor or the farmer’s market?
METABOLIZE THIS: Your genes might actually make it tough for you to get into your jeans.
DAPPERED NOGGIN SAVER? Most bike helmets are anything but stylish. Having said that, I am having a hard time believing that this is going to protect my grey matter in a bike accident, but I must give them points for this. Also, kind of thinking about contributing.
WORST. PITCH. EVER.*
*And don’t get me started about those shorts.
INCOMING!
Need something else to read?
- I am SO looking forward to Fall. I can’t help it. This is my head start.
- Deal me in! When was the last time you threw one of these?
- There are rules! Rumor has it Shannon Sharp bookmarked this. Obviously, he doesn’t always follow the rules.

Don’t fear, Allen Edmonds is looking for extra capital, not an outright sale – http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2013/07/18/allen-edmonds-on-sales-block-reuters.html
How is it that one can go through over 20 years of life without ever figuring out how to throw something?
Rob, thank you for making me laugh long and hard on this Saturday, the 20th of July.
Alright Dappered, time to pool our money and buy a shoe company. I’ll pitch in the $40 I got back from Jos. A. Bank when they hosed us last week.
actually… yeah, let’s talk about those shorts.
This is going to sound obvious coming from someone with my user name, but I can not advocate for Europa Report enough. It’s one of the best science heavy sci fi movies I’ve seen in a long time.
That helmet is not going to be safe and is part of the trend of making fashionable rather than safe helmets. While in the overall scheme of things a helmet is probably not going to make you any safer on a bike, it is pointless to wear one unless it is offering some kind of tangible benefit. I have had two accidents that I believe my helmet saved my noggin, but most people are not riding 30-45mph on their bikes, jostling for space amongst 50+ other crazy nuts. A helmet is designed no disperse the impact and collapse around your head… however that sucker collapses onto itself (yes I looked at their idea for impact dispersion and it is hogwash). However, there are a lot helmets on the market that offer no protection, the vast majority of those “skater style” helmets for instance are style helmets and offer no protection. Basically, unless they are SNELL rated it isn’t going to do anything for you.
