MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON from Dean Fleischer-Camp on Vimeo.

A few years ago via BoingBoing I learned about the wonder that is the old Japanese TV show called Kure Kure Takora.
Never has a single piece of video footage left me with so many deep and unanswered questions. Many of which start with “WTF?!” haha.

An artist in Berkeley has an inexplicable yet adorable blog with little picture-by-picture stories starring two small teeth. I wish I could explain it more than that. But I suppose some things are better left unexplained.
P.S. I love that these little guys are little youngsters who share a bunk bed and have lots of toys…. AND a picture of glam-era David Bowie on their wall. Yes. Of course they do.
GreatBigStuff.com sells replicas of oversized sushi. And if that’s not good enough in and of itself, the tops of the giant sushi lift off so you can store things inside. They have various styles modeled after popular kinds of sushi.
