Today is Anthony Bourdain's 58th birthday, and he apparently had no reservations about letting loose and poking fun of his younger self. The dry-witted chef, author and television personality posted this picture of himself to his Instagram accounttoday, with text that reads "Stoned immaculate."
He didn't specify how old he was in the picture, but one wonders, did the 1978 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America become interested in food during his stoner days? Via Eater.
The good Mon Calamari Admiral of the Rebel Alliance is probably not helping us catch any mouse with this It's a (Mouse) Trap.
We found this awesome painting of Admiral Ackbar on a mousetrap over at the Neatorama Facebook Fan page, where you'll find more of these kinds of shenanigans happening daily.
Writing down your feelings sure can make you feel better! This anonymous note to a bike thief - a classic from the Interweb of yore (we first saw it way back in 2010) - elegantly described the problem and the (lack of) solution:
MISSING!
My bike was stolen from my front lawn last week. It is a one-speed bike with a skull flag and a lightning bolt on it. The lightning bolt and flag may have been removed. This bike was brand new from the store.
NO REWARD
I don't even want this bike back. I just made these flyers to tell you that I hate you, bike thief. I hope you ride my bike without a helmet and get hit by a monster truck. I hope my bike takes you straigth to hell.
Either way is a win! This sign for a local restaurant said "Girls Girls Girls ... Just Kidding ... Homemade lasagna." I personally think that homemade lasagna deservedly win every time.
What a piece of junk! She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I hear the Millennium Falcon minivan, spotted in Redford, Michigan by imgur user Ericboo, can make the Walgreens run in less than twelve parsecs.
One of these days, we're going to get help for our procrastination problem. This sign, spotted over at our pal Pleated-Jeans, said "Procrastination Meeting Held Every ..." (See what they did there?)
Perhaps Mark Twain said it best: "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."
Love to play soccer? Don't just yell "wee!" in glee, go ahead and literally wee and play soccer at the same time! This clever ad for ESPN by Duda Propaganda in Sao Paulo, Brazil, shows that live-streaming this particular soccer match has a completely different meaning.
Whatever you do, don't flush your chance of playing urinal soccer!
Redditor mister_paul got rickrolled at his local bookstore. For those of you who are distracted by Jim Butcher's new The Dresden File novel, just know that he's never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.
This is the Morrin Cultural Centre in Quebec City, Canada. It was originally built by the French in 1712 as a redoubt. After the British conquest, it served as a prison. The current building was constructed from 1808 to 1813 to continue that role. Prison reformer John Howard designed it as a place to incarcerate but also hopefully reform convicts. It offered workshops and individual cells and segregated prisoners based on the severity of their offenses. It also had an iron balcony for a gallows.
The prison was closed in 1867 and turned over to Morrin College, the newly formed English language school for Quebec City. The Literary and Historical Centre of Quebec took up residence in the renovated prison. When Morrin College shut down, the Society remained in place.
It's still there at the prison, which is now it is the home of the only English language library in Quebec City. As you can see from the Centre's Facebook page, where I found these pictures, it's beautiful.
Liberty, equality, and brotherhood--these words formed a common republican slogan during the French Revolution. If the revolutionaries had included Beyoncé, would there have been fewer decapitations?
