Mug Shots

Over at the Smoking Gun they have this whole section of mug shots of famous people.
Super for browsing! Nuggets such as Bill Gates, Andre the Giant & Dr. Jack Kevorkian can be found.

Cakes; the humanity!

I was pretty skeptical about how many cake wrecks there could possibly be - but this blog didn't disappoint. (Can't vouch for the commentary - but the pictures worth a visit.)

Oh Dang!

Oh my gosh - YES ! ! !

Bad Ass Turtle

Apparently there is a turtle that is as cool as hell with an algae mohawk. Check that dude OUT!

Hands Free

In California it is now illegal to drive and talk on your cell phone at the same time. So you need to get a hands free kit, or.....keep a rubber band handy. An elegant solution I think.

Sexy People

This is Debbie and John. There are many more portrait masterpieces here.

The Winner.

Do you really want to know?

I've worked in food service and I've seen what can go on behind the swinging door. Now we can all see some stats (at least those of us near S.F.*).
Visit CleanScores.com if you really want to know what the Health Department found on it's last inspection of the restaurant you just ate at.
What a relief to see my favorite crepe place Ti Couz with a 97/100!
Too bad about the "inadequate hand washing" at Arinell's.

*Apparently this service will be available in most major metropolitan areas soon. Won't that be fun.

Note: This picture I found was titled "mouseloaf". That reminds me of my latest project which is collecting new and inventive derogatory names. Mouseloaf is perfect. Stay tuned for a comprehensive list.
Speaking of gross food; this is gross but in a different way.
