Make a muppet

I wanted to make one that looked like me, but this was all I could come up with:

You can't tell that I am wearing furry cuffs as well.

Make your own here.

Nice Combo #2

Sheep's Knuckles

If I was the type of panda who was into toys, I would totally collect these.

Apparently these are based on a ancient game from Greece in which children used sheep knuckles. You throw them on the ground and you get points for their position when they land.

Then whoever has the most points wins! And gets to take one Crazy Bones (Crazy Bone?) from all the losers. But the most important thing is below:

After studying the website, here are my remaining questions:

1. Are they called Crazy Bones or Gogos?
2. How can some "fly faster" than others?
3. Who is this Gogo character?

Here's a fun proofreading activity for you:

Remember when you were a little kid and you made signs that you didn't plan out? Sometimes you forgot a letter, or even a whole word. Grammar was also questionable. Well that's what these Tea Party Posters are like.

Usually your posters made sense though, they had simple messages like, "Lemonade 5¢" 0r "Carwash" but these ones don't even do that.

Check out the whole Teabonics album on Flickr.

Current Obsession #3

As an artist, this panda is often asked, "What is your medium?" Until now the response has always had more to do with my immense dislike of painting—the act of doing it, not paintings themselves. However, it seems that this panda was very mistaken.

How does it look compared to the original? Way more awesome, you say? Well in that case, look what else you have in store:

"Native American Spirit" "Moonlit Swim"

"Frog Pile-Up" "Ocean Life"

"Zoo Montage" "Unicorn"

And these are just the new Paint By Numbers. Apparently, it was invented in 1948 although it seems to have pretty much stolen Leonardo da Vinci's method of teaching painting (he gave out numbered images to his students and directed them on what to paint where).

A little sleuthing on eBay revealed these vintage gems:

Wood Paint By Number

Oil Paint By Number

Zoo Paint By Number

They debuted in 1950 at $2.49 a piece and have since sparked a cultural debate: is this art? Well, I think you can judge for yourself.
