Front Page Moon Landing

Scans of the front page of 7 newspapers from around the world announcing the first moon landing. I’m pretty sure the headline above translates to “Holy Shit! We on the Moon!”

We’ve all seen the popular website Kim Jong-il Looking at Things. Now there’s one devoted to his son and successor: Kim Jong-un Looking at Things. That didn’t take long.

Hulk Hogan once owned a restaurant in Minneapolis called Pastamania! Cue NBC’s The More You Know.

I feel so honored to be able to add the title of “Godfather” to my calling card.  That is, the soon-to-be Godfather of Toys R Us.

Shotgun Swag

Fascinating history of these swagilicious brogue shoes worn by GQ contributer Ren McKnight:

“These guys are from Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row in London. Legend has it that the original perforation pattern was made by firing a shotgun at a pair of cap toes, hence the name “Buckshot Brogues.” I first saw them on [GANT Rugger head designer] Christopher Bastin’s blog, and knew I had to track them down. Now, if only I could grow a Bastin beard.”
