[NSFW] I don't recall ever seeing a better advertisement for a book. I've been a longtime admirer of Sean Tejaratchi's work, first as the founder of the Craphound zine, then as a book designer, and lately as a creator of absurd satirical ephemera on his website, Liartown. His new book, Liartown, is out next month. See Rob's preview of this stupendous artifact. Read the rest

Tonky sends us "Sweater Bender : A minutelong film about one Wisconsin man's love of St. Vincent De Paul and of used sweaters."

Alex in Sydney, Australia collects everything except "glassware & porcelain (unless it holds beer of course)" and he has an enormous shed in which he arranges his many collections "just-so" for best breathtakingness:

* Tools: workshop / garden / unusual tools (rustier the better - de-rusting is a favorite pastime) * Oil Cans, oilers, grease guns. * Still Cameras / Movie Cameras / Slide Projectors / Movie Projectors and related items. * Breweriana: drink trays, tankards/steins, cork screws, soda siphons, coasters, bottles etc * Militaria: esp trench art * Weaponry: faux: guns, swords, spears, jousting lance, mace, battle axe, war hammer etc * Native Spears n Bows (some real and some faux) * Maritime: boats, oars, rowlocks, telescopes, ship lights, ship candle holder etc * Fishing: rods, reels, baskets, hooks, floats, lures, nets, spear-guns etc * Pirate related (how do you know if you're a pirate? . . . you just argh!) * Kitchenalia (yes it's sad - but I like anything old - and they're sort of tools?)

The man cave to beat all man sheds - collecting wise
