1. This is what’s in my hands (and up for grabs) this week…

This has been going on since the very start of photography.

Or would if you sent something. What would you say if you did? (No really, give an answer. It'll be fun.) Me, I'd probably ask if we could meet for a beer, but only so I could drop a set of BuckyBalls on his desk…

A New York man used over 50 people to tell his love he wanted to be with her forever in a way that may be remembered forever. “A New York Man” = Me! Go figure.

Yup, you heard it right. This is not a joke. I know what you're thinking, but it's a good thing, really. The smart-money says this helps legalize the stuff nationwide.

Every Monday, a new puppy to name. For every name suggested, 50 cents is given to the ASPCA. For every vote a name gets, another 25 cents is donated. How fun is that? Wizzer? Prancer? Poopsie? Anything you say. So long as you say it, everyone's a winner!

What, you thought they'd take the stairs? Not this bunch… they've got places to go. If only they'd gotten on the right escalator.

The Redneck Games are held in East Dublin, Georgia, annually. Yup, it's that time of year of again. Mud-sloshing, armpit fartin', you get the idea… Williamsburg wishes it was this cool.

Apparently, Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers promised fans he'd do this. Question: If watching makes me so uncomfortable - and it does - how come I pushed play twice and posted it here. Granted, I've yet to make it more than :40 in.

See the car. Stand on the hood. Take a picture. Win a prize (maybe). Ford gave me a car. I like standing on the car. Probably because I don't own the car. But you don't own the car either. Get up on there…. don't worry, I've left the complete instructions in the windshield. If you're in New York and see it, get on it!

Quick, make a face, win a prize. 60+ amazing mugs in the hopper so far. Gurn, I'm told, is Britsh for “make the kind of face you mother warned you not to make.”

Somehow a spray can, plus a lighter, equals an explosion that instantly inflates a flat. WTF? Amazing! First one to tell me how it's done wins a free set of BuckyBalls www.getbuckyballs.com

Guy hugs lions. In the wild. Wild lions act like kittens. In my dreams. Who knew?

Here's a good starter shape… just made it now. 9 Buckyballs make a circle. Poke the sides in and you've got a triangle. 4 of those and you've got a pyramid. 5 of those facing in and you've got… er… this thing I just made.

It's big. It's $125 mil. It's hers. Plenty of space for Nick to hide… so that's fun.

Samsung corals sheep in the name of technology. Clearly parts are staged. But if that's what it takes to build Sheep Pong or a Mona Lisa of living wool, I'm OK with it.

Pitbull not intimidating enough? Why not suit him up in his very own custom armor. The right brain says, “Great, if you're a super villain.” The left argues, “When the S hits the F you'll be kicking yourself for not getting it when you had the chance.”

I think I like the result. It's a shame banks don't give loans for shoes.

Eat a healthy breakfast. It's what Jesus wants. Sometimes gospel and sound nutrition advice go hand and hand. YouTube is there.
