The guy who made these radically nerdy Mario and Luigi birdhouses was an actor in a commercial I shot for my real job. A NAKED actor. Yes, that’s right. I’ve seen the dude’s Bowsers and Donkey Kong. And the best part? Advertising is nothing like college, so I got to see it all without showing him Princess Peach.
It appears our ritual sacrifice worked — Wantist.com featured us on their blog today. If you’re interested in gift tips from us, go here. But if you’re interested in just the tip, hit up the Sigma Chi House.
If you don’t know what Wantist (the website, not blog) is, it’s online gift finder and it’s awesome.
Have a friend with a leaky implant? Severed nipple? Exploded testicle? Send a Kitty Wig card. It shows you care, but more importantly it shows you have exquisite taste in animals with fake hair. Gerbil toupees? Come on, that’s just silly. Parakeet merkins? Already in development. In the meantime, scribble scrabble on these exclusive Glamourpuss cards from Papyrus.They’re fun, festive and totally puss-ified.
You know how we pretend we’re a big deal? This time we actually are. We know the creator of Kitty Wigs and she warns, “If the cards are out of stock online, please check back in a few days as they restock the site twice a week.” Sure, sure, sure she warns everyone on her site, but she warned us personally through email. That’s right, email.
We have a friend named Alan who is super talented and always up to something. Like cutting his own bangs, piercing his nips and making his own Bansky art. Banksy took a fancy pants oil painting and added a rusted out car. Alan took a cheap ass Goodwill painting and added graffiti. Then he probably grilled scallops, planted an herb garden, delivered a baby, fermented his own wine, wove some fabric and went to bed. Seriously. He writes about 15 blogs, too, so if you ever get bored with us, check him out here, here, here and here.
If you’re like most of America (and parts of Southeast Asia), you’re forever wondering what to buy us. A loaded gun, pierced condoms and a Best of Kenny Loggins CD are all solid ideas. But if you really, really, really want to make sure you get us something good, check out Yeah, You’re Welcome. Every week Amanda Waas features someone’s 5 best gifts. Oh, how weird, this past week it was us. Total coincidence, I swear. Oh, and if you’re wondering why Sarah isn’t featured, it’s because she hates gifts. That or she was moving to Austin the weekend we wrote those.
The Wall is a book about modern day music posters and features our pit-stained friends, Magnificent Beard. You should buy it. If you want. I mean you don’t have to or anything. It’s really up to you. I, I, I don’t want you to do anything you’re not comfortable with. Are you sure you’re okay? You’re pretty. Will you be my friend?*

Ben Garrett is more talented than you are. Who else could take a gaggle of misfit ho-bags and turn them into regal white trash queens? Aside from the producers of Flava Of Love, of course. (That reference is indicative of me being “with it.”)

Our friend Alan made this. How did he do it you ask? The same way you make anything cool — with imagination, elbow grease and your mom.
No, seriously, his mom made the cushions. Pretty radical, huh?
According to these cute coasters, Acapulco is the place to be. Festive atmosphere, fun in the sun, and no judgment when you drunkenly gallivant around town in your kicky belted period-week underwear.
