Boobs are good, Boobs are great It’s time again, To Celebrate! That’s right, people, for the fourth year running, the Breast Resource Centers (BCRC) of Texas is “puttin’ on the tits,” so to speak. GRAPHIC IV: An Uplifting Night of Fashion, Art and Triumph might be more than a mouthful of an event title, but that’s fine by us. The gala is moving to a bigger venue this year—The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum—because they must, they must, they must make room for more guests after selling out the last three boob-tastic events. GRAPHIC IV is one of those classic all-in-good-fun-and-then-some affairs Austin is known for. The evening showcases art bras of every stripe, created by local artists and designers, including Vanessa Farrow of Sikara, Ayers Design, Midi Soliz, Kevin Peake, and Norma Crippen. Celebrity-signed art bras feature the John Hancocks of all sorts of well-known folks from Hugh “I Love Breasts More Than Anyone Else On The Planet” Hefner, to Gene Simmons, Eliza Gilkyson, Reckless Kelly and more. more ›

UN reports: Poorest people are most at risk through climate change. Dick Cheney's heart (ha) may be in trouble. In California, they drink sewage. Sort of. Russian hipsters carefully ignore Stalin, long for the good old days. Speaking as a nation wearing Native American t-shirts, we could teach them a thing or two about revisionist history... Living in the city makes your breasts denser. (This is not a metaphor, and it could be dangerous!)... more ›

And if it weren’t for his showing that he could sprout and thrive amongst such atrocious conditions, I might never have bothered to try and plant the little dude. But a week ago, I did. And in that week’s time he’s already grown an inch or so, valiantly flourishing amongst my blowing-trash-riddled, weedscaped lawn like it was the majestically sloping side of a nutrient-rich Norwegian fjord. more ›

A local developer is planning on building a new "Gentlemen's Club" (that phrase always kills us) around I-35 & Grand Avenue Parkway. But local residents are concerned that the new club would only bring "unsavory clientele" into the neighborhood, putting children at risk of drunk perverts. Come on, don't you folks already have high-speed internet? The die has been cast, we think. The intersection near the proposed topless club already has two titty-bars and... more ›
