Classic Lincoln Logs. Not the new shit with the plastic roof! 

This is what I am talking about. When I was younger, my dad was going through police academy training or whatever and his best friend was this guy from England named Tyrone. And Tyrone used to come to our house to hang out, and he would always build a massive Lincoln Log house with me. 

And then I’d tear it down. Right in front of him, as soon as we were done, and I’d laugh. I was such an awesome little kid. 

I definitely would like a set to play with now, I bet I’d build some great log homes.

Wines Of Unusual Awesomeness of the Day: The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is releasing a signature collection of Princess Bride-inspired wines called “The Bottle of Wits” to coincide with a special Quote-Along & Feast for the Rob Reiner-helmed cult classic.

The collection is composed of two wines — a California Cabernet called “Inconceivable Cab,” and a California blend called ”As You Wish White.”

The launch event, which honors the film’s 25th anniversary, is scheduled to take place in Austin on Valentine’s Day. Similar feasts are taking place in other cities at later dates. Check the official site for details.

Sugar should be controlled like alcohol: report
Sugar is so toxic it should be controlled like alcohol, according to new report that goes so far as to suggest setting an age limit of 17 years to buy soda pop.

It points to sugar as a culprit behind many of the world’s major killers — heart disease, cancer and diabetes — that are now a greater health burden than infectious disease.

A little sugar “is not a problem, but a lot kills — slowly,” says the report to be published Thursday in Nature, a top research journal.

Over the eons sugar was available to our ancestors as fruit for only a few months a year at harvest time, or as honey “which was guarded by bees,” says the report by Dr. Robert Lustig, a noted childhood obesity expert at the University of California, and two U.S. colleagues specializing in health policy.

Now it is added to “nearly all processed foods.” In developing countries, sugary soft drinks are often cheaper than potable water or milk, they say, noting that over the past 50 years, consumption of sugar has tripled worldwide. (Photo: Jenelle Schneider: Postmedia files)

And once upon a time, I was a little kid! With pigtails! And a dog in my lap, called Buster.

Just a PSA that this exists.

Hey Ashleigh

Oh hey, Chris. I’m really happy that you showed me this/that this exists. But it is making me want to eat spaghetti. (Though all these quotes make it seem like a really depressing food to want to eat…)

“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so? ”

A woman blocks the entrance to Congress as riot police stand guard in Guatemala City, Wednesday Nov. 23, 2011. Protesters are demanding that Congress approve the Ley de Vivienda, or Housing Act, which would allow them to attain legal titles to the lands where they built their homes. (Rodrigo Abd)

Women! Always on the front lines….
