I knew Lay's was holding a contest to create a new flavor of potato chip, but I didn't realize they'd started making the finalists already.  Here are three flavors that have already hit some shelves around the country.  I will just stick to the salt & vinegar chips, thanks.  (Laughing Squid)

Here's some macabre (and expensive) bling, just in time for Valentine's Day.  I dig it.  But do the joints move or do you have to hold your hand like that while you wear it?  (Geeks Are Sexy)

Woo! It's 2013! Time to get weird whether thou be a haver of boners or not!

Okay, I know it’s been 2013 for a few days, but you have to ease into these things, recover from hangovers etc.  So therefore I declare that 2013 starts…NOW!

I’ve decided to make my resolution for 2013 to have more awesome things in my life, and I’m going to start with today’s links.

Speaking of resolutions here’s a great one: make positive changes in your life WITHOUT letting yourself get overwhelmed and terrified.  This guide is a great start (Rookie)

As many of you might have, I spent my new years in a cute outfit that made up for the many times I just grabbed two things and decided that was an outfit (just wear it with confidence, people will think you’re “quirky”).  I paired this cute outfit with some good ol’ Spankx.  And I admit, that I had the same thought every Spanx wearer has had at some point “can you have sex in these?”.   Well, can you?

Hi! I trust your hangovers are gone or on the mend and all of the green dye has been cleaned from your teeth and tongue. DELIGHTFUL!

Let us begin with a tip for keeping your drinks cold outdoors in the summertime. Hint: Metal trough + picnic table. (Lifehacker)

Pretty cool, right? Well, this is going to blow your tiny little mind. I'm still dubious as to these being pencil drawings and not photographs. I'm watching you, Paul Cadden. One picture is NSFW. (The Daily Mail)

These are truly spectacular photographs and exceedingly beautiful. These were shot directly facing the sun and show ice and sky, blue and white. (Kylefoto)

Have you heard? Apple has released a NEW iPAD! HOMG! You can't possibly be caught with the old iPad. Tacky. Here are 20 ways to recycle your outdated chunk of plastic. (Wired)

As someone who spent a few years working in government, I can tell you that this infographic on how lobbying works is, sadly, so very true.  (visual.ly)

Okay, so John Carter (of Mars, dammit) doesn't suck?  I should see it?  In an actual theater?  Huh.  Well.  Okay.  (Wired)

It's Friday. Try To Contain Your Excitement.

Kolby

I don't know, man.  That was the first image to pop up when I searched for "Friday."  I'm not saying I love it, I'm just saying....I'll have what she's having?  Oh, just check out the links.


For those of you who loved everything about the Harry Potter book series but the lack of sex, here's a bit of good news:  J.K. Rowling has decided to write her first adult book.  Adult means more sex, right?  I need to know...for a friend.  (E! Online)

I haven't been able to enjoy the Second Coming (heh heh, coming..) of Beavis and Butthead, as I don't have cable or satellite right now. LAME. Makeup effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick clearly likes them too, since he made these real-life bust-mask hybrids of them. Butthead totally looks like a kid I went to school with.(reddit)
