your summer wardrobe essentials
Oooh, I think I need one of these, to go with my “Old Spice Girl” tee. Ladies and gentlemen (confused gentlemen only, please; no Moobers and Proud allowed!) Defamer presents your long-awaited CafePress Officer SugarTits wear for summer. Thongs available as well, but alas, no “Officer SugarTwat” insignia. Damn narrow, literal-minded cops!

via both BoingBoing and Fark. Some of these are pretty spiffy. I’m relatively sure I used to have these in a booklet; probably a Girl Guide camping manual of some kind, cuz gawd knows I had all that shit. raincoaster was all about the Girl Guiding, until she got into horses.
Mommy, where do statues come from?
Yet another image censored by Photobucket. Just scroll below it to see the image, from a University plaza.
Check that woman’s expression; you’d swear that thing just dropped out of space. Hmmmm, come to think of it, what exactly is she sitting on?
