Ode To Etsy

Etsy is probably the most exciting place on the internet.
I did ALL of my Christmas shopping on Etsy. Not only did everyone think that I made all my own presents (ha ha!) but I didn't have to go out shopping with all the scary people in that insane period between Thanksgiving and December 25th. Seriously...it's like a zombie horror flick out there.
I even found a present for my Dad on Etsy. And it wasn't a tie.

You can look at other people's stuff too, I guess.

Etsy: a website which focuses primarily on providing the general public with a way to buy and sell handmade items.

Thank you Wikipedia for that concise and accurate description. I know I can always count on you.

This is a Mother we won't be kicking!

Ah the Magic of youtube. This is a mother we won't be kicking. "She's 55 years old. She's a grandmother of two. She's also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and can snap a man's neck in less than 4 seconds. She's John Anthony Moroso's mom, and she kicks ass. This documentary seeks to understand just how one small Mexican woman can kick planet-sized amounts of ass. Her nunchuk skills will dazzle you, her spaghetti will razzle you, and her hugs will fill your heart with love. And then she'll kick your heart's ass. Heed the warning, fair children, because if you watch this and still don't think my mom kicks ass, you may end up with a face full of foot, courtesy of one bad mother. WAH!" ( John, your mom rocks!!!)

Save the BEEZ

This is CMYK Science Thursday...
Honeybees are deserting Massachusetts in great numbers and all because of cell phones. Wont you please save a bee and throw out your cell phone. We've done enough damage, haven't we? I'm sorry but I don't have a crying indian on hand to guilt you into disposing of your celly, but isn't the thought of all those bee keepers weeping silently in their silly outfits enough?

Thank you for you attention. Save the Bees!

We Have to Make This Thing Official.

It's time for the hazing ritual where we all go around and kick our mothers for acceptance into the collective. Road trip? We have to hit up NJ and CT too. Alfredo, can your mom come to us?
And NO kicking in effigy!


(sorry mom, but it's the RULES!)

In honor of my mom who I will kick:

South End Open Market fancy pants!

Yes, it is true. We have decided to put on our one pair of fancy pants that we own (and some of us took off our pants) and contribute to society by applying and being accepted to Boston's South End Open Market this summer. Dates to come, gangsta.

Kick Yo Momma Collective

Kick Yo Momma Collective is a group of gangsters who make things. They believe in doing what they want. They do whatever they want. They don’t care. They just mind their business and make shit. It’s like the Wild West in their heads.
