beardrevue: So this is the video tour of the Keep Portland Beard art exhibition from earlier this year. Enjoy.  I was solicited to curate a gallery show. I did it; it was awesome. There are some photos here.

Call me old-fashioned.

Catchetism.
Q. Where was the wasp nest located? A. In the latch cavity of the front driver’s side door of the 1999 Mercury Tracer. Q. How many wasps were living in the wasp nest? A. Twenty wasps. Q. Why had no one opened the front driver’s side door of the 1999 Mercury Tracer in the amount of time it took twenty wasps to build a full-sized nest in the latch cavity? A. I’d rather not discuss it. Q. Why...

Regulators Failed to Address Risks in Oil Rig... →
When all else failed, if the crew of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig lost control of a well, if a dreaded blowout came, the blind shear ram’s two tough blades were poised to slice through the drill pipe, seal the well and save the day. Everything else could go wrong, just so long as “the pinchers” went right. All it took was one mighty stroke. On the night of April 20, minutes after an enormous...

Patrick Kingsley is a misguided twat. →
Me: Enough with the name-calling, Buchino. That’s just in poor taste. Me: But he wrote an article called “In defence of the Comic Sans font”. Me: Sure, sure. But people are stupid. You’ve been resigned to this for years. Me: A) Comic Sans is a typeface, not a font. B) It’s inexcusable to begin an article with “I’ve always had a soft spot for Comic Sans.” Learn why it’s so deplorable and...

I’m Comic Sans, Asshole by Mike Lacher →
Listen up. I know the shit you’ve been saying behind my back. You think I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg. You don’t like that your coworker used me on that note about stealing her yogurt from the break room...

Jesus struck by lightning, melts in fireball
The straight of I-75 between Cincinnati and Dayton is exactly 50 miles. Right in the middle is Solid Rock Church, which boasts a 62-foot statue named King of Kings (see also: Big Butter Jesus, Touchdown Jesus, Drowning Jesus).  I watched its construction between trips to and from school. It was one of the first signs that I should not live in the Middle, though I passively just read it as...

Bankrupt design
There have been numerous redesign proposals, serious or not, that are infinitely more interesting than the current incarnations. I’m particularly fond of anything that celebrates cultural heroes, but even kidscribble is more aesthetically pleasing sometimes.  I hope this doesn’t come off as trite. It’s been on my mind since I received $3.00 in change for what should have been $0.75. It’s...

Longest beard ever grown
Since you asked… The longest beard ever was grown by Hans Langseth of Norway, whose whiskers stretched an incredible 5.33 m (17 ft 6 in) when measured upon his death in Kensett, Iowa, in 1927. The beard was presented to the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, in 1967. Also, there’s this website dedicated to the man: hanslangseth.com (via beardrevue) A bunch of photos from the Beard...
