Five bucks (U.S.) will get you 25 of these “You are a Douche” cards from Orange32. Here’s their description of these cards:
Tired of arguing with complete morons? Tired of getting into bar room brawls? Well now avoid the confrontation with our glorious Douche Card. Simply hand it to the asshole in question and walk away. Problem solved.
Whether a single order will suffice will depend on your line of work and the company you keep.

Pike Place Market is just begging to be photographed. I’ll post more pictures later this week.
For the past couple of nights, we’ve ended up at Kells Irish Pub, located right by the market in Seattle’s Post Alley. We’ve made friends with Liam, their house musician. He’s been giving me a solid education in Irish folk music and I’ve been telling him about Burning Man.
Chances are we’ll end up there tonight. If you’re in the area, drop me a line, or drop by!

Being 41 years of age, I am allowed to lose a couple of hipster points by not knowing what the rope is for. A little B&D kink, perhaps?

I really like the abstract works that designers like Saul Bass created in the 1960s. Here’s an example of Bass’ work – his poster for the Hitchcock movie Vertigo:
Someone who goes by the nom de plume of “Spacesick” likes ‘60s abstract graphic art as much as I do and has created I Can Read Movies, a series of covers for novelizations of popular movies done in that style. I show some of Spacesick’s creations below.
(If you’re a book publisher, you might want to drop Spacesick a line. His/her stuff is really good!)
Here’s the cover for the novelization of Caddyshack. It’s only missing one thing: the gopher!
Here’s the cover for the hypothetical book version of Sixteen Candles, one of the quintessential ‘80s teen movies:
The cover for Highlander captures the spirit of the movie while remaining refreshingly minimalist:
Here’s the Face/Off cover. Someone should let Spacesick know that “forward” is a direction and “foreword” is an introductory note in a book.
Here’s the cover to the “burning novelization” of Mean Girls:
Here’s Shaun of the Dead:
And finally, my favourite: a Japanese novelization titled Wonka-san! Just Punisher of Coddled Children:
You can see Spacesick’s other novelization covers in this entry in his/her blog as well as in this Flickr photoset.
