UP posters by Paul Conrad (link roundup)



Paul Conrad created several posters for Pixar's Up and posted them here.

1. Good headline at Fark: If you mock hipsters, you're a hipster.

2. As if my last post about spiders wasn't creepy enough, read about the sex habits of the spider known as H. sadistica (seems like that's really it's name). Via.

3. BBQ joint dramatically improved business by placing a busty mannequin in a bikini outside. Via.

4. Check out Mitch "spacesick" Ansara's Atari Age-inspired blog header.

*Previously: Carl Fredricksen paper toy.

Now this is a screenshot (link roundup)



Just enjoy this giant octopus-filled screenshot from upcoming Wii game Muramasa: The Demon Blade. The gameplay on display in this trailer looks awfully lackluster. Via.

2. Before there was the internet, the hot craze was hunkerin? Via.

3. A government employee who went on the same Mexico trip as Obama became infected with swine flu and passed it to his family, and yet Obama's doctors "see no need to conduct any tests?"

4. Jose Canseco is going to fight a 7'2" Korean in a mixed martial arts fight?

Kid Acne's Rollin' Stock blind box toys





Kid Acne's Rollin' Stock blind box toys go on sale soon. Unlike most blind box sets, pretty much all of the toys in this set are desirable. Relatedly, if you really, really like Tara McPherson's Gamma Mutant Space Friends that I previously mentioned, then you might want to buy one of the slightly more expensive sculptures based on the set.
