Nicole "Coco" Austin -- aka: Ms. Ice T -- with these words of encouragement:

Here's a little eye candy to get ya through your work day. Hope it helps!

More than you know, my dear.

Found on her Twitter.

High tensile strength

Seriously, the fabric of those pants have to be, for they appear to be very tenuously stretched.

And she's pretty. Win-win FTW!

Reason #4080 why the Toyota Prius sucks: the unintended acceleration REALLY kicks in while intoxicated. This dumdum turns a single crash into 3, one of which is into a police cruiser. From Jalopnik:

Monocle smile!

I've never been a fan of Old Spice, but the Isaiah Mustafa commercials were funny as hell. But what if there was a female version? Page 3 of the Sun -- found on Hawtness -- takes a poke at it with the help of Rosie Jones...

I'm not sure what Jordan Carver was trying to achieve in this photoshooot -- Pocahontas? 1920s flapper outdoors? -- but she is damp and busty. Monday has to start somewhere.

Found on Hollywood Tuna.

Today's vocabulary lesson is...

...the difference between prone and supine. Prone is when you're ass-up; supine is the opposite.

The very prone Rosie Jones was found on Holy Taco.

An interesting concept from io9:

Once the dead rise, we'll be in need of practical dwellings to hold the zombie throngs at bay. Enter the SS Huckleberry, a marine convoy designed to float out the end of the civilization.

This design comes courtesy of Architect Southwest's zombie safe house design competition (which is presently open for voting).

I don't think I'd hang out along the Mississippi River -- Pacific Coast north of Baja for lack of hurricanes would be better, I'd think -- but it's a start.

Move: replace the single screw with a Voith Schneider thruster for increased maneuverability; lengthened hull for additional whaleboats and larger crew complement for SAR capability; additional Move unit at rear for maneuverability and defense.

Live: replace unorthodox design with higher-capacity berthing; save lawn for Farm component; additional Live units for specific BOQ, Galley, Arsenal, R&R functions.

Farm: add more Farm units with mixed/open space for other crops, such as trees and grasses, for outdoor shade and recreation; add berthing for animals, aviaries/nesting, beehives.

Store: unsure about liquid diesel energy potential of zombies; maybe better to have Noisemaker/Decoy component to lure zombies for incinerator generator that is detached by 2nd Move, crewed by high-risk defense team; add windmills, batteries/electrical storage, water desalinization/purification.

You're a shining star..

...no matter who you are. Shining bright to see what you can truly be.

Because I hate champagne...

...I want one of these for New Year's. From Uncrate:

Forget the Moët — ring in 2011 the right way by toasting a glass of Sam Adams Infinium Beer ($20). Sold in a wine-like 750 ml bottle with a foil-covered cork top, this unique brew is the result of a two-year collaboration between our friends at the Boston Brewing Co. and Germany's Weihenstephan Brewery, and features a deep golden color with fine bubbles, a fruity, slightly spicy aroma, and crisp malt and citrus flavors. Oh, and it's 10.3 percent alcohol by volume, so you needn't worry about its inability to get you nice and happy by the time midnight rolls around.

Reason #4080 why Windows sucks

Go AROUND the traffic

When the highways are blocked by those fleeing Armageddon or the zombie apocalypse, you'll still be able to make Thee Perfect Getaway, courtesy of Uncrate:

Like something out of a video game, the Rally Fighter ($59,000) is a custom-designed off-roader that mixes sports car looks with Baja-tested utility. Wrapped in vinyl to reduce weight and cost, the Fighter features a tubular steel chassis and space frame, nose, rear, underbelly and floor pans made from carbon fiber, a 6.2 Liter, V8 Engine good for 430 hp and paired to an automatic transmission, rear wheel drive, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, and 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, as well as 18 inches of suspension travel to help you traverse whatever the trail throws your way.

Are you a witch?

Because they don't generally give out the answers ahead of time on Wheel of Fortune.

Rhode Island School of Design = Miskatonic U?

The io9 entry title says plenty: "Its body was eyes, mouths, and tentacles".

Jon Schindehette, a creative art director at Wizards of the Coast, issued a challenge to art students at the Rhode Island School of Design: Make creatures based on H.P. Lovecraft's stories. These are just a handful of the awesome results.

Real drinkers don't have to light their booze on fire because booze on fire is for flambe desserts and bar tricks that you smother with your hand prior to consumption. Thus, famous last words as spoken by a truly dumbass fratboy: "Don't blow it out."
