A COUPLE COATS OF PAINT, AND SOME HOPE: I am painting my house this week. The Bayne Painting Co. is starting the “prep process” this morning, and we’re hoping chips are flying, and sanders are roaring and all that as these words go to press. We’ll post some progress pics as things get heated up.

A LINK TO START OFF A GREAT WEEK: Inside the Lego vaults. Hold on to your hats, people, this one is really heavy on the mind. “Fucking awesome,” puts it mildly. (Thanks, Cousin Scott!)

JUST CAN’T ENOUGH OF THIS ONE: The General Foods logo from 1965.

Speaking of “things being so much better back then,” just imagine pulling up to this shop to stock up on shit for yer house. So incredible. Ya just want to step back in time to see what it was all like. At least I do, folks.

NICE HEADS, FELLAS: My buddy Cameron and his twin brother Damien are always getting into some kinds of trouble out there in the Big Apple. Here they are a part of the “Human Mirror” project. Pretty cool. Read about these twins and their involvement here. Or, you can just cut the shit and get a look at these animals.

COBRA DOGS IS ON FFFFOUND, AND WE’RE THE WEINERS WHO MADE THE THING: “Don’t forget to ask for it Cobra Style.” Hey Portlanders: Take a ride up to Government Camp. Maybe hike around a bit. Look at Mt. Hood. Gawk at some rich-kid snowboard campers. Get lost in the woods. When you are done, go get a dog at Cobra Dogs, and nourish that body. Ask for the “Manaconda,” that is, if you are man enough.
