I was reading an article on vegan watches (yes, shoot me now), and saw a link to this company called WeWood that has an incredibly great looking bunch of analog and digital watches that have to be seen to be believed. I wonder how the finish and stain holds up (or rubs off) over time, [...]

retroCOMMERCIAL of the Day “Motorola Cell Phone”
August 18th, 2010 
rberry Love this one from the early ’90s. It’s actually a rather good and convincing ad that shows many features and benefits of having a cell phone. Remember when you actually couldn’t leave your house if you were expecting an important call? Share this article
The Worst Car Names Of All Time
July 28th, 2010 rberry A car is something to be proud of. It’s not only something to get you from place to place, but something that should make you proud to drive it. The style, color, and manufacturer all play a role, but name itself is just as important. Since automobiles were invented, names like “Silver Ghost”, “Corvette”, “Mustang”, [...]
Heavy Metal T-Shirt Envy
June 29th, 2010 rberry In the ’80s, I was about as far from an Iron Maiden fan as you could get. I had an aversion to most metal and hairbands as a whole then. I was one of those angsty teens that sought out the comfort of The Cure, The Smiths, New Order, and their ilk. Though as a [...]

Cannibal Kitchens- By Randy Waage
October 20th, 2009 rberry Randy’s finally lost it, folks! He’s been hanging out in thrift stores for so long, that the combined stench of Lysol, dead ticks, and used underwear has begun to rot his brain. How else can you explain this twisted look at pictures from a 1963 issue of Farm Journal? “This seasoning is so zingy, they’ll [...]

October 20th, 2009 rberry The 70s were certainly the most colorful decade for furniture the world has ever seen. Certainly in no other time period in history, would anyone dare a lime green with zebra motif. After purchasing the 1970 classic “Decorating Ideas For Every Room In Your Home”, I was amazed to see such wonderfully tacky arrangements, so [...]
