Age of Link Dumps
Dear Dracula – Cute children’s book about a little boy who writes to Dracula rather than Santa Claus.
The Deadly Pain Medicine Sold by Skeletons – We need more modern pharmaceutical ad campaigns to feature well-dressed skeletons.
Outer Space Vodka – This vodka’s bottle resembles an alien head and would be perfect for a UFO-themed party.
Cicada Recipes – Some ideas for cooking with insects.
Likely Stories – Trailer for an upcoming four-part TV series featuring stories by Neil Gaiman.
The Beauty of Horror – Adult coloring book for horror fans.
Bat Squeaks While Being Tickled – This video of a juvenile fruit bat squeaking happily as he’s being scritched is ridiculously adorable. (Hat tip to DeVries)
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal – This ‘toon makes me eager to be a grandparent.
What a Way to Go – A list of unusual causes of death. I’m surprised the list doesn’t include Jim Fixx, but maybe that’s less “unusual” and more “really, really ironic.”

Did anyone watch Fear The Walking Dead last week? They had a fake commercial advertising “Neighbors 3 Zombie Rising” Pity they are not really making such a movie. Would have been great

A long time ago I found an Asian Food Ans Spirit website and I was going to place an order for Cobra Venom Whisky to display on my Bar I had at the Time and Just before I ordered It the US changed it’s laws on the import of strong Liquires into the US and all shipping on such items was suspended until further notice. I sinse lost the site address.
It had a real Cobra in the bottle.

Oh my god that flying fox is so adorable I think my brain collapsed. I want to hug it so much!
I’m suddenly wondering if I can volunteer for WIRES or something.

I recommend “I Hate Fairyland” by Skottie Young. He is an excellent cartoonist with a very sarcastic and violent sense of humor. The comic book comes in 2 versions that I saw, a PG title and and adult title (F**k Fairyland or I Hate Fairyland). The difference is mainly the cussing.
