Hollywood mess Tatum O'Neal, who has been a mess longer than most Hollywood messes, was recently popped in New York City buying crack cocaine. Crack. Wow.

At first she told officers she was "doing research for a film role." Can't believe New York's finest didn't go for that that one. That's iron clad. The coppers didn't buy it. Like Tatum O'Neal has a film role. That's ridiculous.

Miss O'Neal then changed her tune. Her rock solid reason for procuring rock cocaine? The former child star and heroin addict said her dog had died. Her Scottish Terrier had passed away and she was grieving. A little crack was just the pick-me-up she needed.

This makes sense. Two months ago our family dog passed away. My Mom mainlined heroin for a few days to cope. I had some crystal meth to dam up my sadness. It's how we deal with the loss of a pet in America.

We'll now wait for the ex Mrs. McEnroe to say she is also suffering from "exhaustion" and is going back to Promises rehab center. "Tatum, you have the producers from "The Surreal Life" on line three."

Oh. My. God.

It's amazing the things you can find on Flickr just stumbling around. Check out this excellent set of images recreating classic photographs in Lego. Very nicely done. You can also buy prints of some of the best ones here.

You know what they say about something too good to be true, and taking candy from strangers, etc etc. This may be the creepiest thing you see all week.

Gloria Gaynor's 1978 song "I Will Survive" won the only Grammy ever given for Best Disco Performance. Thirty years later, it's one of those songs that everyone knows. It's catchy, the lyrics are simple and still relevant, and it's got a great beat. So it lends itself well to tributes, parodies, and remakes. Continue reading for nine of them.

If you're the kind of person who eschews namby-pamby weather forecasts, and there's no groundhog shadow or pine cone in the immediate vicinity, then what you need is your own XML-driven Personal Weather Machine. Build it, hang it, experience the outdoors , indoors, the day before it happens!. I tell you, Steve Jobs is going to be all over this one :)

Part of something I'm working on with the team at My Home 2.0.

I'm really digging these Ghost Goblets. They're hand-blown glass tumblers with a shaped interior that creates a goblet shape when filled with liquid. Simple idea, yet a great talking point. $74.94 for four. Also comes in a Flute.

Greathouse Labs makes vehicles and fire machines. And vehicles that produce fire. The latest is a wheelchair outfitted with a flame thrower.

According to Lance Greathouse, "It was made for the disabled person looking for something a little different, why drive something that looks like a medical device when you can drive something lethal?"

I can't argue with that.

Little Baierman's family never took a vacation without Mommy B packing a brand new glass jar of Tang. Vacations had a budget so my parental units chose to save on breakfast by serving us Tang to drink (hotel sink water + tang + ice = Awesome!) and those little snack boxes of Kellogg's cereal with milk to eat.

All this brings back fond memories, sugar flashbacks and surprisingly no stories of bright orange Fruit Loop throw up.

Tang came out in 1959, and was an instant hit once the world new the astronauts drank it. "NASA's drink" worked like gangbusters when space flight was cool and people thought chemically-powdered juice was better for you than fresh squeezed. I guess things haven't changed that much, except real fruit is more expensive than powered crap.

Listen to that cat purr! If we've ever linked to Cute Overload on YBNBY, it's been a long time. But this is right up your alley. They have an entire category of posts called Cats 'n' Racks. It's mostly pictures and videos of women holding cats on, against, or between their boobs. There are also women holding ferrets, lemurs, snakes, and squirrels in their cleavage. And occasionally, there is some other kind of rack, like a dish drying rack or a set of antlers. They post what they get, including a link to this video that made me laugh. And if that's not enough for you, we recently had our own collection of puss and boobs videos in this Lunch Hour Veg.
