earth lovin' robots
"Andybots" and "Saucerbots" are just some of the adorably eclectic creations by artist Andy Hill. And good news for all you Eco-friendly Robophiles out there who are trying to save the planet one reusable bag at a time--Andy uses a ton of recyclable materials in his sculptures!
Some of the sculptures even reuse CDs/DVDs.
You can see all of Andy Hill's designs and creations at Electro Art Works.

is it a crime of fashion?
the cult of snacking
My friend tried to explain it carefully to me as if I were mentally challenged, "Instead of being limited to just a blanket for snuggling up, the Snuggie is like wearing a blanket for clothes!" I told her of my many adventures of using a blanket for a blanket and clothes for clothes, and then my eyes rolled so hard I almost fell over. She went on, "Also, it's a blanket that allows you to enjoy a snack!" After she finished this sentence, we just blinked back at each other for a couple seconds while we digested the stupidity of what was just said. I think I heard a dog bark somewhere off in the distance. She was right though. Being able to enjoy a snack is one of the couple of benefits to using a Snuggie. Seen here is a monk enjoying the Superbowl.
Call me old-fashioned, but I have always found that when I use a blanket for a blanket and clothes for clothes instead of a Snuggie, I can do plenty of other things besides enjoy a snack on the couch such as:
- Enjoy a snack on a plane
- Make a mad bolt to the bathroom if ferocious diarrhea is involved
- Enjoy a movie at a theater without strangers and kids giving me the stinkeye
- Get laid
I just think Snuggies are ugly. It's so amorphous looking as if to hide the couch potato look on purpose, they should have just called it a 'Shame Sack' or something elegant like that. They sort of remind me of pictures I've seen of people in cults or better yet...
Who knew Spock was a snuggler?
