Dave Chappelle surprised the city of Portland early this morning with a 1 a.m. gig at Pioneer Square. Unfortunately, 3-4K people showed up instead of the expected 200. All he had was a small amp, so most people couldn't hear a thing. Could this signal his return to stand up? [via The Sly Oyster ]

Obviously at $300/hour, Chicago's the Ferrari Guy was nice enough to throw in some sweet, sweet guitar licks and escort you around the city with a power mullet. Conversation not included.

Because of a small decision by director J.J. Abrams, in the new Star Trek universe the Beastie Boys are either prophets heralding the birth of Mr. Spock or they were responsible for creating the Vulcan Nerve Pinch. No one's mentioned this and it's awesome either way.

My childhood playing on bouncy castles seems inadequate in comparison to this 20-foot tall toy. Anyone have $5,500 and a lake to make summer 2009 awesome?

At The Red House black and white people come together to buy furniture, which if this is real, makes you wonder what happens at the other North Carolina furniture stores.

The Onion finally takes down the overused and pointless Che image. “This scarcely seen inconic image dates back to 1958, shortly after revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara freed thousands from the restrictive yoke of T-shirt selection.” Best T-shirt ever. The end. [ via ]

I don't know whether or not this is legit, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

Looking for a more fashionable way to protect your laptop? Well why not pony up $20 for a sweater cover? Davey Sommers repurposes old sweaters and gives them that jello pudding pop touch turning them into sweaters for your laptop. This should be dubbed the iCosby for shear marketing genius, but then I guess pc'ers would be feeling the cold shoulder.

It's funny because it's sad and slightly true in a generic, stereotyped kind of way. But mostly because Africa isn't even on the map. [via The Sly Oyster ]

Watch the Batman logo mutate over forty years. Fascinating from a cultural standpoint, but also from a design aesthetics one, as well. You really get a sense of how things became sleeker through the decades.

I don't know much about pluming, except that Joe the Plumber needs to go. Can this plumber, with his deft sense of humor, replace Joe as the plumbing zeitgeist?

Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer performed in Utah last week to a sold out arena. People in Utah rejoiced. Stranger still, it was the first time the two rap frenemies have seen each other since hanging out at Michael Jackson's house four years ago. Is it too early to call this the bizarro cultural event of the year?

Danny DeVito gets drunk with George Clooney on Limoncello and goes on The View. Finally, he gets his own brand of Lemon liqueur. The Bowler hat and mandolin are a nice touch signalling a quality celebrity product.
