I really dig the idea of Campus Quilt. I have probably a good two hundred t-shirts from crew and college; and growing up in Daytona was like living in a land of free t-shirts. And, hey, they say that “We completely quilt the entire quilt on a commercial quilting machine.” It’s quiltarific!
Rochambeau the front line. Seth is brilliant.

Friday Five: Websites I Currently Find Myself Visiting Multiple Times Each Day
This excellent experiment comparing oysters and chocolate in terms of sexual arousal comes via megnut. Meg writes a delicious “foodie” blog which is great fun and chock full of reviews and recipes for anyone that enjoys eating.
In the blue corner, oysters, eight dozen of them. Hailing from Puget Sound by way of Wild Edibles in Manhattan … In the red corner, chocolate. From Peru by way of Jacques Torres …
The referee explains the rules. Four couples have been selected to judge this match. They have been selected because they are the only friends of the author who agreed to do it. Strangely, some friends of the author were horrified at the thought of being publicly identified with pseudoscientific sexcapades.

This Kitty Washing Machine may very well be effective, but I don’t think its efficiency trumps the fact that it looks like the cat is scared out of its mind. I think even a decade ago — before I owned any cats — that I would not have laughed at this poor feline’s frantic fright. <link via LYD>

(Note: This would be an excellent place to post the classic “TheBrad with Bugs Bunny on Head” photo, but the damn fool has gone and lost all his archives and links again.)
Gadzooks! Here it is: TheBrad with Bugs Bunny on his head!
More proof that people are strange (in case you needed some): There is a website dedicated to selling toy cars which have suffered toy accidents by crashing into toy (bonsai) trees.
The art pieces go for between $75 - $150.
People are — apparently — grabbing them like hotcakes.
The marketing copy on the site reads, “Finally you may now purchase a giant sushi in the form of a soft and comfortable pillow!” Because, y’know, you have until now probably been inundated with options for lower-quality, black-market, rip-off sushi pillows.

The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, founded in 1995, is the nation’s largest natural habitat refuge developed specifically for endangered African and Asian elephants. It operates on 2,700 acres in Hohenwald, Tennessee - 85 miles southwest of Nashville.
The Elephant Sanctuary exists for two reasons:
If you have feet … you really should treat yourself to a pair of Doc Martens. They are the best shoes made anywhere. I got my first pair in Covent Garden in London over a decade ago and wore them almost every day for six years. The shoes are just incredibly comfortable and durable.
I got an email this morning announcing that they’re currently having a 40% off sale (use coupon code DMFF4005 at checkout) to promote the redesign of their site, so I figured I’d share.
Here’s another silly music meme. This one’s from A Small Victory. Take all the songs in iTunes (or your music player of choice), alphabetize ‘em, and tell the first song of each letter. Yes, it’s lame. Yes, it’s fun. I got more than 26 because I couldn’t resist including numerals and non-alphanumeric characters. And I also win the dork award because I had to take the time to give you an appropriate link to find the songs on your own.
I’ve been enjoying chewing this new Altoids Gum. Today, however, I just noticed that one of the ingredients is Carnuba Wax. Color me crazy, but isn’t that the stuff you use on your car? This is most curious indeed. Am I waxing my teeth? Will chewing this gum provide any sort of dentrifice protection against the elements? And where the hell is Carnuba? Who are these mysterious Carnubites and when did they begin making wax?
