We are Bas and Daan designed this cool World Cup t-shirt for Dutch fans that "riff on the common ritual of players pulling shirts over their heads in victory."
World Cup t-shirts stolen from inspired by the "John & Paul & Ringo & George" shirt created by the Dutch design firm Experimental Jetset, and which has since been copied ad nauseam.

Great article by Globe and Mail's automotive reporter Peter Cheney about his son accidentally crashing the latest 2010 test Porsche Turbo valued at $180,000 in their house garage door. Quite a Bueller moment indeed.
When I parked it, the Turbo had been pristine. Now it looked like the car from Dukes of Hazzard after a chase through the southern backwoods. Stunned, I surveyed the damage. The hood was raked with gouges, the top of the right front fender was flattened, and the driver’s door (which is made from aluminum to save weight) had taken a beating. Worst of all was the rear fender, which had hit the concrete door frame as the Turbo launched itself into the alley – it looked like a giant blacksmith had smacked it with a sledge hammer.
...As the dust settled, my wife and I confronted the parenting issues that attended the disaster. What was the appropriate punishment for a boy who trashes a car worth $180,000?
This is like the time I crashed my mom's new Mac, EXCEPT SO MUCH WORSE. View more photos of the accident here.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaQB_tgS7f0] While certainly shiny, the Ferdinand GT3 RS built by Johannes L might not only be the slowest Porsche in world, but also quite possibly the slowest "car." There is something quite hilarious seeing this familiar speedy shape going no faster than a plodding tricycle.

Good Magazine interviews Roy Choi, a law school drop out who founded the Kogi taco trucks and jump-started the food truck trend.
G: In the beginning, Kogi parked outside of nightclubs to attract customers and some trucks still show up near clubs. What is the best or worst part about catering to inebriated club-goers? Any fun stories to share?
RC: Our food is everyday food. It is food to fill your soul. We are not trying to make a statement with the food. When you are drunk or stoned you get hungry. You have limited choices (diners, fast food, dirty dogs, korean joints) we just wanted to add another flavor to your night. The first night to see people's faces was funny, drunk, horny, sweaty, hungry, full of energy creeping up on the truck and yelling to their friends "Yo, there are mutha fuckin' Asians in this truck cooking tacos?" "You want one?" "Yeah, sure, fuck it." Then silence, and, "Can I get another?"
Sigh, I still have yet to experience this taco revelation.

Utterly envious of artist Justin Kemp's sandbox titled "Surfing with the sand between my toes (after brian wilson)." I need to talk to IT about getting this set up at my work.

What say you? Which country will win ultimate bragging rights (second only to those that won World War II) this summer? Debate, harass, demean in comments with your best argument based on nationalistic and/or illogical reasoning. Messi sucks. [polldaddy poll=3313649]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E9wWtbsMfg] Malibu Rum asked bands at SXSW whether the first day of summer should be a national holiday. The correct answer is "yes." It should actually be an international holiday, except for those in the southern hemisphere who would celebrate their first day of summer in December...

Apologies for lack of updates. I don't yet have Internet set up in my new apartment. In the meantime, enjoy the single greatest photo you'll see today, and how to turn office snacks and vending machine junk food into gourmet meals.

I blogged about this artist Dustin Shuler last year, but I just learned that he passed away a few weeks ago on May 4. The above piece is titled "Death of an era." His best known sculpture, "Spindle" had a cameo in "Wayne's World." It was dismantled in 2008 to make room for a Walgreens.
