Finally, a discreet cure for your embarrassing flatulence odors!

Last night’s fun-filled trip to The Silk Elephant for Thai food, drinks, and revelry with friends led to a not-so-fun-filled wake-up this morning.  An abundance of spice made my belly ache terribly and the first two hours of the day were spent moaning and wishing for a magical cure for my pain.  Luckily for my girlfriend, but painfully for yours truly, there’s been no release/relief, and the search for an easing of the pain has yielded a hilarious – and potentially useful for you, dear reader – discovery.

Behold, Flatulence Deoderizer!  This handy youtube video will explain the “installation process,” which in and of itself landed it a spot on this blog.  Enjoy:

RIP Robert Goulet

Musical legend Robert Goulet died today. Most of us in my generation remember him not as he really was…

…but as parodied by Will Ferrell of SNL.

Crooner fans the world over will miss Mr. Goulet. RIP.

Josh Keyes @ Hang Art in San Francisco

If you’ve never been introduced to the incredible art of painter Josh Keyes – and if you’re fortunate enough to be in the Bay Area these days, consider checking out his new show at Hang Art Gallery on Sutter St. in San Francisco.  I have known Josh for over a decade, had the tremendous good fortune of going to school with him in Chicago, and have been inspired by his painting for so, so long.  I constantly marvel at how he manages to keep lit things so beautifully simple, yet completely described, in impossible contexts.

A great review at a cool, if bizarrely named, art site, Fecal Faces.

More of Josh’s paintings at his website, Joshkeyes.net.
