SPACE SHIP

Because of the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, I (like others) began poking around on the internet about the American space program. Each lunar mission came with its own mission insignia. My favorite was Apollo 12's:




Astronaut Alan Bean said that the three crewmen played a large role in designing the patch... which features a Navy clipper ship flying through outer space.

M-I-C... SEE YOU IN HELL

Is it me, or does this Disney kitchen timer look like a piano fell on and crushed Mickey Mouse?

THE KING OF BEARDS

Erin Dollar made me a beard.

Erin is a young woman from Portland who has a talent for sewing and a love of beards. She's got a blog called I Made You A Beard where she chronicles her obsession with facial fuzz, and she has a store at Etsy where she sells her delightful creations.

Using felt, thread and sometimes yarn, Erin sews beards of all types. From Santa to Lumberjack.

And I bought one.

Might be the best purchase I ever made.
