In Victorian times they invented a tea cup to prevent your moustache from getting wet.
I need one.
Because currently my moustache is unprotected.
Practice safe moustache, kids.
Sometimes I look at antiques and wonder why we took such a giant leap backward. These are amazing.

STORY TIME
When I was about thirteen, fourteen, I was looking through the paper. I saw an article on an art opening. One of the exhibits advertised had a sample photo. In the photo, a family—grandmother, mother, sister—was standing around the edges of a living room, cheering madly. In the center of the living room and the center of the photo, a boy was standing solemnly, blindfolded, with a stick in his hands. Hanging in front of him like a pinata was a hunk of meat completely covered in cottonballs so it didn’t look like a dead animal anymore (I assume it was lamb). The only reason I knew it was meat was because of the pool of blood underneath it. The photo was called “Easter Party.”
“Mom,” I said. ”I want to go to this!”
She looked at the photo. ”That’s… honey, that’s creepy.”
And thus began my love of creepy photography. There’s just so much behind every photo! You could write so many stories about it all! And they’d be just as creepy!
