Treasured Trash #1: The I Hate to Housekeep Book

Found at a Salvation Army: The I Hate to Housekeep Book

A well-used instruction manual from the late 1950s for those lazy housewives of the world, The I Hate to Housekeep Book doles out advice in order to maintain the patriarchal order… but with some shortcuts! Its previous owner took its words to heart, and the book is endearingly covered with personal notes, addenda to instructions, and the musty stench of fifty years. And it’s chartreuse! 

I love how all at once it can be charming and hilarious and horrifying in that way where you’re like, “OMG! Stockings?! Taking a day off from housekeeping only once every six weeks?! Looking as the Lord intended?! Nothing could ever be like this. Oh wait, it was? It was like this? Fuck.”

 

File this under “Obvious, yet Impressive”:

Someone is taking the time to make mashed-up videos for Girl Talk’s Feed the Animals. Wow.

I’m anxiously anticipating part 12 so that I may have the excuse to drunkenly scream “Since U Been Gone” at my roommate a few more times. My only question is, Where the eff is part one? Via BuzzFeed.

 

He’s on the ten.

A new Drunk History came out this week! Hooray! 

If you happen to be unfamiliar with Drunk History, you probably have a life. That fact notwithstanding, you should probably forego that life for 20 minutes and become familiar with Drunk History, because it is the best and you are missing out. My favorite is still the first volume, which involves everyone’s favorite Bluth,  Michael Cera.

Volume 2 and Volume 2.5 are about Ben Franklin and Ben Franklin fucking, respectively. Enjoy!

 

Now every day can be boozeday!

To commemorate the first time in 75 years that we Coloradoans can buy booze on God’s Day, I present you Zach Galifianakis’ Absolut Vodka commercial.

Unfortunately, I did not celebrate by visiting a liquor store today. Fortunately, I am celebrating by drinking the vodka I already had. Cheers!
