This one's right up my alley

...Almost literally.

Yes, it's the growable mushroom house.

Where does he get this stuff?

Let's just say Google's targeted banner ads are even better than you think!

Odd Sighting of the Week:

A fun story over Thanh Long crab and garlic noodles for Mother's Day dinner last night. Apparently my sister went to an LGBT function recently (meaning lesbian, gay, yadda, and yadda) where she met, of all people, much-derided 49ers owner John York.

York was being led around by the fun-lovin', gay, proud new pappy and San Francisco Supervisor Bevan Dufty (don't tell him I said so, but lose the goatee).

A big Red Fish out of water here, as the erstwhile bungler -- meaning York, of course -- was said to look extremely out of place, and more than a little stiff.

It's a great image. Yellows, purples, plenty of house music, and presumably dabbles of meth all around.

This man was born a stiff. Then he grew up to be a pathologist.

Living in XS

Think your house, apartment, or condo is too small?

I'm betting it's more than 40 square feet.

Yeah, 40.

And if you think yours is a tad pricey month-to-month, how's around a thousand bucks -- on down to a sale model for $20 -- out the door? So to speak, of course.

The website is TumbleweedHousing.com, and the builder is an artist-type named Jay Shafer.

I just got a little more ashamed of my closet.

And, in Literature, a wee dollop of Red Herring to the lady author who wrote an entire website on top of her refrigerator.

No, not really. She wrote some of it on her stove.

Who, me? Yeah, I'm creative. I spent the last two days filming a fat guy riding a bike.
