What do you do when an airline breaks your guitar and hasn’t resolved the matter a year later? Write a song about it, of course!

Solving Food Mysteries. Find out how they get the olives in olive loaf, how popcorn pops, and what Jello is really made of. (via Amy’s Everyday Adventures)
*
The 15 Creepiest Vintage Ads Of All Time. Believe me, these were creepy even when they were new. (via Boing Boing)
*
Does stress trigger your chocolate habit? Probably, unless you prefer orange juice, or if you are a hungry college student, just about any kind of treat.
*
Flags of Forgotten Countries. These come with a mini history lesson about both heraldry and why nations disappear.
*
Saving Private Remi. French prankster Remi Gaillard stages his own D-Day beach landing …and is barely noticed. NSFW if you don’t blink.
*
5 Tubby Monarchs We Love. Of course, kings can eat all they want which somehow makes them more entertaining.

  1. Love the Sons of Maxwell guitar story. Those situations are so infuriating and if there is a creative way to get the word out and have the company finally take notice, that is great.

    Now does anyone have a clver idea of how to get Sears’ attention with my faulty designed LG front loader washer and dryer?

  2. You should probably mention that the “Saving Private Remi” link is NSFW as it takes place at a topless beach.

  3. Good luck getting Sears to provide actual customer service. It took me forever to get them to credit my credit card for items that were never even shipped to me. Loooong story! I finally ended up cancelling the whole order and going to The Home Depot. It just was so much easier.

  4. That video went viral at Taylor Guitars yesterday. Anyone who is in any position to take care of his guitar in any way was just inundated with emails from coworkers.

  5. OK, I watched the video twice again this morning and finally saw one topless woman. In France, that’s pretty normal for any beach, but I will add the NSFW.

  6. Did not read the comments prior to watching the first 4secs of ‘Saving Private Remi’ : NSFW

  7. Private Remi is pretty lucky he didn’t get himself arrested/beat up/killed. I for one would be pretty pissed if someone threw a smoker at me on the beach.
