WTF: I kissed her and then her husband killed himself

I feel guilty for not calling my family: You schmuck, how long did it take to write this email?

Can a 26-year-old MBA become a gardener? Is that cool?: You are a tool my friend, wasted money.

I lost my bearings and had an affair: LOL, Aye Captain. My bearings, shut your pie hole, you liar.

My lover’s husband shares his wife with me: The Tryst of the Naked Tangerine, you done did it.

Am I an artist? : Aren’t we all of  Yah’s magnificent tapestry my friend?

I’m haunted by a strange, intense yearning: May goat’s turd be your toothpaste my friend.

How do you deal with the patriarchy?: Watch Re-runs of Married With Children, now that’s a father right there.

And I thought I was crazy..yikes

This is the new Richard Mille RM056.  It is a split-seconds chronograph with tourbillon with a case built entirely out of sapphire.  The whole thing.   In fact, this three piece case is actually milled from one solid block of sapphire, cut to allow for the movement placement and then reassembled as this watch.  Sapphire is indeed highly scratch-resistant, though somewhat brittle, so in theory, this watch could break if dropped.

Still, it features just an absolutely breathtaking movement – the lightest split-chrono tourbillon movement in the world – and an incredible look.

Only five RM56′s will be made.  The cost? Yup, $1.65 million.  (Via…)

The latest news out of Milan – Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans announce its latest advertising campaign featuring Rihanna. Photographed in Dublin by established fashion photographers Mert & Marcus Piggott, the global campaign arrives in conjunction with both label’s Spring/Summer 2012 collections. Having already worked with the Armani on its Fall 2011 campaign, Rihanna this time trades in her blonde pixie-cut in exchange for a brunette appeal. The pictorial also maintains consistency with last season’s visuals via an array of monochromatic, black and white images with a rock-inspired aesthetic.  (Via…)

Following last week’s teaser look at the special packaging for the Year of the Dragon-edition of the Nike Kobe VII System Supreme, we can reveal a spate of new images that showcase the interior of the custom box. The sturdy slide-out box is broken up into two compartments, one for the kicks and a smaller section for a dust bag containing the shoe’s second insert.  The colors, textures and overall shape of the packaging mirror the design of the shoe, adding a spectacular dimension to an already impressive release.  (Via…)

Porsche may have just unveiled its new 2012 911 Carrera Cabriolet at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this week, but the German automaker is wasting no time before showing off its next bit of overhauled hotness, the 2013 Boxster. The mid-engine roadster won’t make its official debut until the Geneva Motor Show in March, but we’ve been given some preliminary details ahead of the new Box’s primetime unveiling.

Much like the 911, the new Boxster’s design is more evolution than revolution, and that’s a-okay with us. The redesigned roadster is extremely handsome, and most of us on the Autoblog staff think it’s the best-looking Boxster yet. We like the revised headlamps and more svelte running lamp/air intake setup, and the wider stance and longer wheelbase are nicely masked in the new design. The 2013 Boxster’s all-aluminum skin also helps the new model shed a few pounds compared to its predecessor, which will not only make it that much more engaging out on the road, but also improve fuel economy.

But really, the Boxster is all about performance, and under the hood behind the seats are two flat-six engines with direct injection, thermal management and start/stop functionality. The base Boxster uses a 2.7-liter flat six, good for 265 horsepower (10 hp more than its predecessor) while the Boxster S is powered by a 3.4-liter six that produces 315 hp (an increase of 5 hp versus the 2012 model). The standard Boxster will run to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds with the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, while the Boxster S will do the same jaunt in just 4.7 seconds. A six-speed manual gearbox (what, no seven-speed?) is also available with either engine. Porsche will offer a Sport Chrono package that further enhances performance, adding things like dynamic transmission mounts and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).

Look for the 2013 Boxster to hit United States showrooms this summer, priced from $49,500 for the base car or $60,900 for the Boxster S (not including $950 for destination).  (Via…)

Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education, and media company, announced today that it will publish two new books in the worldwide bestselling Captain Underpants series by award-winning author Dav Pilkey on August 28, 2012, and in January 2013. In addition, Scholastic will release the first Dav Pilkey e-books—two titles in the bestselling Super Diaper Baby series—on January 31, 2012.

Scholastic will release Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers (Captain Underpants #9 ISBN: 978-0-545-17534-0, $9.99 hardcover, Ages 7 and up) on August 28, 2012, to be followed by the publication of Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers (Captain Underpants #10 ISBN: 978-0-545-17536-4, $9.99 hardcover, Ages 7 and up) in January 2013—each with a world English language first printing of one million copies.

On January 31, 2012, Scholastic will release e-book versions of Pilkey’s bestselling graphic novels, The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby (E-Book ISBN: 978-0-545-41483-8, $9.99, Ages 7 and up) and Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers (E-Book ISBN: 978-0-545-41484-5, $9.99, Ages 7 and up), which will each include bonus material about the making of the books, samples of sketches by Dav Pilkey, deleted scenes, and more.

In his ninth epic Captain Underpants novel, Dav Pilkey takes readers back in time to the carefree days of kindergarten, when the worst thing heroes George and Harold had to face was NOT an evil mad scientist or an alien cafeteria lady but a sixth-grade bully named Kipper Krupp, the nephew of their clueless school principal. And because George and Harold don’t actually invent Captain Underpants until fourth grade, the two clever kindergartners are on their own—using their brains to beat the bully.

“All of us at Scholastic are so excited to be publishing new Captain Underpants books!” said Ellie Berger, President of Scholastic Trade. “Dav Pilkey is simply unmatched when it comes to combining innovation, creativity, and humor in a way that appeals to all kids including the most reluctant readers. We also look forward to expanding Dav’s brilliant kid-friendly books into digital formats.”

“I’m delighted to be back with George, Harold, and the gang,” said Dav Pilkey. “I’ve had so much fun writing and drawing their latest adventure, and I hope kids enjoy it too.”

Ever been so distracted by a colleague or friends wayward protruding nasal hairs that you can’t take it anymore?! Neither had I, but a new web service in Japan now lets you anonymously notify anyone of their distracting rogue olfactory hairs just in case.

The service named Chololi lets anyone send a pre written notification to the offending hairy culprit anonymously via their email. “For all you people who are thoughtful and in a difficult position, we give you Chololi the deputy service for notification about nostril hairs” explains the site. The service even lets you notify the recipient of the message which side the follicles were popping out of, the number of hairs and choose the tone with which you want the message to be sent ranging from mild to scornful.

For those unsure the site also contains a warning to those who don’t have a sense of humor, “take care not to use this service against people who cannot understand jokes”. A counter at the top of the site announces the number of embarrassing moments avoided with it’s “Saved nose hair” counter. There is a link to nasal care advice, which unfortunately at time of writing was down, but it would be nice if this turned out to be an amusing marketing ploy by a snout related product.

In an interesting new collaboration, designer Mark McNairy and Timberland have linked up on their iconic 6 Inch Premium Boot. As much as Mark was able to revive the classic Brogue with interesting new twists, he has also managed to add some color to the otherwise clean boot. It comes in black suede with royal blue hit on the padding, as well as in beige suede with bright yellow leather hit. A nice detail, without being too much. The boots will come as part of a four piece collection Fall/Winter 2012.  (Via…)

Snoop’s tour bus was stopped at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca — a small town in West Texas where Willie Nelson was popped for weed back in 2010. 
 The border patrol ran a standard inspection of the bus with the dog … when the animal alerted the agents to a possible hit in a waste basket in the back of the vehicle.

The agents claim they found a red prescription bottle with several joints inside. The bottle contained under a half-ounce of weed.
Cops say Snoop admitted the dope belonged to him. Snoop has a prescription for cannabis in California, but law enforcement tells us, there is a zero tolerance policy for weed in Texas … regardless of his status in other states.

Snoop was issued a citation for misdemeanor drug possession and released.

The “beef” between Drake and Common just got turned up another notch this morning. At the of 2011, we saw the rap vet and the Young Money rapper get locked into a battle of subliminal jabs. Initially, Comm set it off by calling out Drizzy on “Sweet” and then confirming his shots in an interview with Sway. It wasn’t until last Friday where we heard Drake fire back with his own subliminal disses on Ross’ “Stay Schemin.”

“I just ask that when you see me, you speak up ni–a that’s all/Don’t be ducking like you never wanted nothing. It’s feeling like rap changed, it was a time it was rugged/Back when if a ni–a reached it was for the weapon, nowadays ni–as reach just to sell they record.”

Common wasted no time in firing right back and making this battle official. On the newly released freestyle Chi-Town’s finest raps over “Stay Schemin” (via MT.V RapFix)

GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul has commented on the emotional testimony of a man who explained how Dr. Paul came to his rescue when know one else would purely because his wife was white and he was black.

The video, released this week not by the Paul campaign but by independent supporters, features James Williams explaining how close to forty years ago Ron Paul was the only physician who would help him when his pregnant wife became sick.

Mr Williams of Matagorda County, Texas, says he believes no one would come to his aid and deliver the couple’s child “because of the difference, me being black and her being white”.

Mr Williams then explains how Ron Paul stepped in and took care of his wife and even dealt with the medical expenses after the baby was tragically stillborn.

I may lose a few friends from supporting RON PAUL but I’m tired of the liars that we call politicians.
