Okay, here's a test for you guys. I'm going to show you something, and you tell me whether it makes you feel weird:

I could throw up looking at that, but I am REALLY sensitive to that sort of thing.
I am uncomfortable, and usually things like that don't bother me, if that helps prove your point.
yes. but i'm hungover.
I would end up catching a glimps of that at too late at night or half asleep in the morning and think OMG MY SHIT IS FALLING OFF THE SHELF. Cool concept since my shit is usually falling off the shelf since I'm too lazy to buy a book end. but still....
Somehow, I think this is very nice. Why? Because, on my otherwise normal bookshelves, my books look exactly like those.
Choctaw, you made me lol.

You can often find her at some karaoke dive bar singing her repertoire, which includes "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Daniel," and most recently, "Sweet Dreams." Don't expect her to always hit the right notes. She lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend and two cats, and has a blog like everyone else.
Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.
