Scenario: You come home and realize from the sounds coming from the bedroom that your wife is cheating on you. You give the dude just enough time to scuttle off and hide in the closet. And then you make him pay the best way you know how.

Livejournal user atticus-flinch has an impressive photo set of actors reliving the glory days with iconic scenes from their movies. Since there was no Back to the Future shot (and WHY wasn’t there?!), Silence of the Lambs naturally defaults to my favorite choice.

There are plenty of other stills I recognize, including ones from Terminator, The Matrix and American Psycho. Unfortunately the labels are in Russian, so unless I can get somebody to translate them for me, I can’t help you out. Enjoy!

Update: My dear friend Ze Russian has translated them all and provided a link to the original Empire magazine article in the comments!

I am giant kid at heart — I’ll try anything immature and hilarious once. Which is probably why you never want to borrow my iPod headphones.

WANT! Head on over to Geekologie for another design. Alas, it looks like the bunk beds (while likely in production) will have to remain just a dream for me — Apartment Therapy LA has a living room set by Mobelform, the manufacturer, that retails for a whopping $18,000.

Thanks to Unicornery, I got the wonderful idea for a Formspring. You can now find said Formspring directly to your right on the sidebar.

I am posting about J&D’s Mmmvelopes half because I think it’s an awesome product and half because of their hilarious write-up:

Technology has given us a lot lately. The car. TV. X-rays. The refrigerator. The Internet. Heck, we even cured polio. But what have our envelopes tasted like for the last 4,000 years? Armpit, that’s what.

Really, people? If we can’t overcome this kind of minor technical challenge, it’s only a matter of time until some super-advanced race of aliens with lasers, spaceships and a delicious federal mail system comes down and colonizes the world. And nobody wants that (except for the aliens, of course).

So, after thousands of years and kajillions of horrible tasting envelopes licked, we’re happy to report that J&D’s Bacon-Flavored Mmmvelopes™ are here to save the day. No longer will envelopes taste like the underside of your car. You can enjoy the taste of delicious bacon instead.

That’s right, bacon. It’s not real bacon, mind you, so you won’t have to start storing your envelopes in the refrigerator. But it really does taste like bacon. Which is what you really wanted in the first place, isn’t it? And it only took us 4,000 years to get there. Eat that, alien invaders.

Ad Campaign of the Day: To promote Toshiba’s Regza SV LCD TV, London-based ad agency Grey London strapped a bunch of GPS devices and a helium balloon to a red armchair and sent the sucker soaring into the heavens.

The brave little living room chair made it to 98,268 feet before falling safely back down to earth.

Now, I’m a huge sucker for elaborate, well-thought-out schemes, especially when they involve a happy ending. That’s why I love Steve’s story:

I have know my fiance Tracey Wade for over 14 years and wanted to propose to her in a very unique way. Tracey thought we were just going to the movies on a Sunday afternoon. Little did she know, I had rented the entire theater and filled it with 160 of our friends and family. I made it seem as though we were showing up a little late to the movie and went in to the theater after the lights had gone down and the movie trailers were already playing. This was done to keep her from recognizing anyone in the theater. What I had done was make an entire movie trailer that had actors portraying both Tracey and I at different times in our lives, both present day and in the future. After a few trailers played including one for Lord of the Rings the one I had made started. Tracey thought it was just another trailer for a movie soon to be released. Tracey was just perplexed as to how many different things had similarities to our relationship, she kept nudging me throughout the trailer. Tracey had no idea this was a marriage proposal until the last three seconds of the trailer.

Nine months earlier in September of 2006 I started by hiring a professional production team, securing two and a half million dollars (FOR FREE) worth of film equipment (THANK YOU PANAVISION, THEY DONATED THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE SHOOT), and writing a script that would show what would go through someone’s mind (Tracey’s) if they were about to die. It is said “moments before you die your life flashes right before your eyes”. JUST A NOTE: Ever since Tracey was a young girl, she has had a reoccurring dream that she was going to die in a plane crash. Actors were cast to portray both Tracey and I at different times in our lives (twenty years in the future as well as present day).

Please send this to EVERYONE YOU KNOW. Those who pluralize with the apostrophe, I’m especially looking at you.

I love this map.  (Inspired by S12th & M. Missiles talkin’ beisbol)

So glad they gave Iowa to the Cubbies.  I think Grandma Rose would have haunted the shit out of them otherwise.  I was going to make a comment on how the White Sox are the Lesotho to the Cubs’ South Africa, but then you get into the demographics of the Southside and Sox fans vs. Cubs fans, and how Chicago is such a divided city anyway, and I decided that wouldn’t be cool.

Venn Diagram of the Day: A few weak points (Frankenstein’s monster, m’kay?), but you get the gist.

I’m sure we’ve all heard the adage that, if you dig a hole big enough in your backyard, you’ll end up in China. Here’s the thing — you actually won’t. You’ll end up in the middle of an ocean. Your best chance of hitting land when digging from the United States would be to start in Honolulu, Hawaii, which lands you smack in the middle of Botswana.

Both China and the United States are in the northern hemisphere. Let us pretend that it is possible to dig all the way through the earth. Anyone who digs straight down through the earth, from the northern hemisphere, would have to come out in the southern hemisphere. Straight down, from anywhere in the continental United States, is in the Indian Ocean.

Most of the land area of the world is directly opposite water on the other side of the world. The biggest exception is Argentina and Chile, which are opposite China.
