Ah, morning, my old nemesis.  Speaking of enemies, here's a collection of real-life villains drawn in comic book style.  One day I will defeat you, metabolism!!  *shakes fist angrily* (College Humor)

Who doesn't love a good "buy one, get one" free deal?  How about this offer from a jeweler in Georgia - buy a diamond ring and get a gun for free!  Kinda puts a new spin on the idea of a shotgun wedding.  (WSB TV)

I had no idea that they offered CrossFit training for kids as young as 4 years old.  Imagining a toddler who can perform a dead lift when I can't makes me feel a bit embarrassed, to be honest.  (NPR)

This is pretty inspiring.  Artist Julia Kozerski used changing room photos of herself to document her amazing weight loss - 160 pounds in one year!  (Julia Kozerski)

Happy Monday, y'all.  Let's start things off with a laugh or two, shall we?  This tumblr mashes up images of Lucille Bluth from "Arrested Development" with actual quotes from Mitt Romney.  It's unreal how easily you could be fooled into thinking that these are quotes from the show instead.  (Lucille and Mitt)

I will never look at Joe Flacco the same way again after seeing this NFL quarterbacks/Muppets comparison.  If I ever hear him call someone a "weirdo," I might die of laughter.  (BuzzFeed)

A List Of Awesome Things (That Have Nothing To Do With Sexy Dudes)

I understand the pageviews for the sexy dude lists, I do. I mean, that's why we starting having them in the first place. But when you have a bunch of writers that are taking the time to craft thoughtful, entertaining, and honest product reviews only to have them buried by Chris Hemsworth's mighty visage? It hurts a gal's feelings sometimes, is all. So we have gathered for you some of the reviews you might not be aware of on this site. Please read them and comment on them to make us feel validated and worthwhile, mmmkay?

Crafty Ink: DIY Comic Book Shoes!

My very own X-Men shoes!

A few weeks ago, I posted a link to some absolutely amazing comic book shoes that some enterprising tumblrer had decoupaged.  Now, I tend to collect do-it-yourself projects.  I have dozens and dozens of links bookmarked in the hopes that one day, I'll have the time (and money) to build my own bookcase or make my own tea towels, for example.  But these shoes were different.  I wanted them - no, I needed them.

So I did some research, estimated a cost for supplies, and set aside a weekend to work.  It only took me about $25 and one day to make my own, shown in this photo.  Would you like to learn how to make your own pair?  Then read on after the jump for instructions!
