Our neighbors across the way in Boulder, Good Biker, want to achieve complete and utter world domination in the performance lifestyle motorcycle apparel niche. Good Biker on every back, on every bike! Crush the competition!

Okay, so maybe we made up that last bit. But it does seem that they care about keeping you warm and dry when you ride.

Here at Good Biker, motorcycling is more than just our favorite thing to do. It’s a way of life. We make functional and fashionable motorcycle apparel that’s technical enough to wear on the bike and stylish enough to wear off the bike. We offer moisture wicking tees, technical winter base layers, and low bulk, high warmth thermal layers that work well alone or together to keep you comfortable in any weather. Whether you travel the world, commute to the office, carve the canyons, or cruise to the coffee shop, we hope that Good Biker puts a smile on your face and helps you Enjoy the Ride.

You know what else sounds fabricated? The crazy stories from News of the Weird. For 21 years we have been absolutely riveted by crazy tales of people doing stupid things involving bacon pants, bombproof underwear, and losing knife fights with cats. Good stuff! And unlike a lot of things you’ve read here, we can’t make this stuff up, people.

A big round of applause to the winners of the 2011 Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing State Championship. Way to go, guys! These young men fished the heck out of Wheeler Lake, and their skill and patience was well rewarded. Of course, they’re members in good standing with the Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association.

The Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association is the grassroots umbrella organization in Alabama leading the way for the development of Student Angler Chapter Clubs. ASABFA was recognized by the Alabama Legislature as the OFFICIAL student angler organization in the State. Competitive bass fishing tournaments at their best, fishing skill training and seminars, and boating safety courses where you can get your boat license. Come join us for the fun under the sun catching BASS.?

Ever wonder why a fisherperson is called an angler? It has something to do with the complicated technique used: a fish hook attached to a fishing line that’s attached to a fishing rod. Um, isn’t that, you know...fishing? Wait just a doggone minute! Are you angler guys making fun of us?

The members of the Wayland Snowmobile Association are to Western Michigan residents what the Zamboni driver is to  hockey players: modern-day recreation heroes.

The Wayland Snowmobile Club is part of the 170 mile West Michigan Snowmobile Trail. We groom, sign, and maintain 67 miles of trail near Middleville and Wayland. We organize club rides on our local trail as well as club outings in Northern Michigan. Whether you want to help out with the local trail or join a fun group on weekend rides up north, we welcome you to our club.

See what we mean? Without these dedicated trailblazers, the only thing to do in winter would be staying inside by the fire. With your honey. And a hot toddy. And a book.

Speaking of winter sports, there is a magical land to the north where people ride snowmobiles 6 months out of the year but call it a snow machine. These are the same folks who grew up playing “Duck, Duck, Grey Duck” (no goose?) and used color crayons. They also eat a lot of hotdish, drink a lot of pop, and watch high school hockey games on network television. And if you need something, they’ll borrow it to you. Any guesses?

Ignite Vegas is but one of many outposts of the Ignite community. Since the first event was held in Seattle 5 years ago, Ignite has seen entrepreneurs, techies, creatives, thinkers, and all-around show-boaters hop on stages all over the world for their 5 minutes of fame (thereby proving that not everything that happens in Vegas stays there).

Fast-paced, fun, thought-provoking, social, local, global—Ignite is all of these and more. It’s a high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by people who have an idea—and the guts to get onstage and share it with our Las Vegas community. Run by local volunteers who are connected through the global Ignite network, Ignite is a force for raising the collective IQ and building connections in each city. And, via streaming and archived videos of local talks, local Ignites share all that knowledge and passion with the world. Oh – we also like beer.

Sounds like fun and like one of those events where anything could happen!

Not that Vegas really needs any more flash, glitz, or combustible material. They’ve got that whole “wow factor” thing unlocked, dontcha think?

Aside from the scariness of what can show up on ChatRoulette, we are enthusiastic participants in the phenom known as real-time direct text-based communication. You know: chat. It’s such a great way to have a quick conversation in the middle of the day without picking up the phone.

Chat ID digs it, too, and is hoping businesses will jump on the chatwagon.

ChatID creates new opportunities for brand engagement, conversion, and reduced customer support costs. Our technology extends businesses’ reach by offering frictionless text and chat communication regardless of their customers’ location.

Right on! And “chat” sounds so much nicer than saying, “Um, we need to talk,” doesn’t it?

No need for formalities, here; we’re talking about the Casual Pint, not his uptight cousin the Stiff Drink. The Casual Pint wears Levi’s and always lends his neighbor his truck. The Stiff Drink? He’s the guy in the pricey ironed denim (don’t call them jeans) and gets upset if anyone parks too close to his Bimmer. Casual Pint plays softball, Stiff Drink has a skybox. It all comes down to this: Beer is chill, booze is high-maintenance.

Anywho, the lucky people of Knoxville, Tennessee are about to have a great new place devoted to all things beer. The Casual Pint Craft Beer Market is slated to open this weekend!

We believe the art of brewing and tasting fine craft beer deserves love and appreciation, and these characteristics are ingrained in every store staff member, so if you possess the same appreciation we are well suited to meet your needs. Whether you are a newly-brewing beer nut or the long-time connoisseur, our extensive selection and knowledgeable staff are perfect for providing you with new tasting experiences and food paring that only accentuates your beer enjoyment.

You know what’s our favorite thing about the craft beer resurgence? The growler. Filling up a half-gallon jug at our local brewery and then taking it home makes us feel like we’re getting away with something. Like we’re running moonshine, but with a better getaway car.

Here, have some pretzels. The brewmasters at Lost Rhino Brewing Company in Ashburn, Virginia want you to stay thirsty.

We here at Lost Rhino Brewing Co. challenge the craft beer enthusiast to experience adventure and awesomeness in each of our beers. The brewery was born out of the fierce desire to keep the tradition of craft brewing alive in Northern Virginia. We were longtime brewers from Old Dominion and bought back the brewhouse and moved it to its new location in Ashburn, VA. It is here that we’re brewing some of the most outstanding pilsners and ales in the Washington, DC area.

Their New River Pale Ale sounds hoppily delicious and burger-ready. And they make root beer, too!

And the name? It has something to do with surfing. As far as we know, no rhinoceroses were lost in the making of this beverage. They are however, having a hard time.

A Georgia Bulldogs football fan and StickerGiant customer sent us this photo. Now that’s what we call the ultimate tailgate accessory: customized cornhole boards.

Why cornhole? Why not? It’s a great way to pass the time, it’s social, and you can toss a bag with the beverage of your choice in the other hand. True, the name is a little funny and in some parts we’ve heard it called “bags” or the simpler “bean-bag toss.” But according to this group, it’s cornhole.

The University of Georgia has a real, live bulldog as their mascot, for the record. His name is Russ (R.I.P, Uga VIII) and he spends the off-season in Savannah. Go Dogs and thank you for choosing StickerGiant!

One of downtown Boulder’s more eco-minded businesses, the “tea, coffee, & nosh” place Atlas Purveyors just celebrated their 2nd anniversary. Congrats, guys!

So, what’s with the name? Well, we love tea and coffee, and we think there’s a lot of product in the world that people don’t get exposed to on a regular basis. So, from time to time, we push people towards things they might not have tried. Simply put, we try to find the best teas and coffees available, while staying mindful that all of this product has to travel a very long distance to get to where it’s going, and we want to honor the work that gets put into growing and producing the world’s most remarkable product.

After water, tea is the most popular drink on the planet. Seriously: more tea is consumed than all of the other “manufactured” beverages combined (yes, that includes booze). Fun fact: unless it’s Camellia sinensis, it ain’t tea. So all of those so-called “herbal teas”—chamomile, mint, rosehip, hibiscus—while all delicious, are technically tisanes, not tea.

Hey, jeetyet? Well, grab a sammich and a pop and check out our buddies over by ‘dere at ChiBoys.

ChiBoys was created to fill an unmistakable void in Chicago. Our clothing line provides a means to represent Chicago while avoiding sports apparel. ChiBoys expresses the soul of the city by exploring its lineage, structure and its pulse. Chicago is a city with a history. This history is one of pleasure and pain, hardship and prosperity. The roots tell a story that many Chicagoans today are proud of; this line artistically tells that story. Chicago’s structure is a mosaic of some of the world’s most interesting, influential and identifiable architecture. ChiBoys fuses an innovative style with the recognizable lines and shapes of Chicago’s skeleton. The pulse of the city is the people. ChiBoys is an expression of those people. The people that are proud to call Chicago home.

And it gets better. Are you ready for this? They called us up and the ChiBoy goes, “Hey, StickerGiant, let’s get together and make sumpin happen!” And we go, “Sure! What do use guys got in mind?” Well here it is: The ChiBoys Sticker Contest! Talk it up, win some stickers. We haven’t been this excited since the second Three-peat. Da Bulls!

Now dese are the kinda boys you want to bring home to Ma for Sunday gravy and sassage. Too bad most of yous gals out dere won’t even talk to a guy unless he’s got a couple too-tree grand inna bank and a flat screen in your frunchroom. Ladies: you are missing out. And if you work for Streets & Sans? Aaaah, wassa matter witchoo? You’re better off playing 16-inch, stopping at the Jewels on the way home, and watching da Bears. This frickin guy knows the score.

Sure things: death, taxes, and reality TV “stars” never going away. But the taxes? Sure they pay for roads and schools and 911 but sometimes taxation can feel more like taxidermy, no? Oh, Dios mio, it can seem unfair. But in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, taxpayers get a shot at recouping their participation in this collective revenue-booster. The Puerto Rican IVU LOTO is a tax lottery in which citizens—who pay a sales and use tax on purchases—can check their sales receipts and win a slice of the tax pie.

The easiest way to check your Ivu Lotto tickets. Completely free of charge and without the need for account creation. Easy, Fast and Simple. Check the winning numbers for Lotto Ivu Puerto Rico.

But there have been some hitches in the system. Hence the “check your tickets” stickers in our video. Hope they help with promotion! Buena suerte!



That’s right, kids: more Star Wars! Nice-guy Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker was the perfect foil to Harrison Ford’s bad-boy portrayal of Han Solo. And the only one who could have gotten away with kissing his sister.


Which is why he looks so awesome in this custom patch. Done in the style of Shepard Fairey’s much-copied poster for President Barack Obama, this design is from artist David Friedman.



Check out this fun patch and 100s of more embroidered patches in StickerGiant’s Embroidered Patch Category.

Every so often we make stickers for people who do extreme activities…because they want to. Like swimming for miles or jumping out of airplanes or trying to change the world. And every time, we marvel at their bravery, wonder a little bit at their sanity, and usually feel just a bit oafish in comparison to such hardy souls.

And then there’s today’s sticker. From what we can gather, the Antarctic Trail Crew are an annual bunch of volunteers who groom the trails on Ross Island in Antarctica. Yes, that Antarctica. You know, that place covered in ice that doesn’t see a sunrise for 6 months in a row. THE COLDEST PLACE ON EARTH. Too cold for penguins, some of the time. The place that refers to ice with a capital I.

We bow down in awe…you Trail Crew kids are truly some kind of superhero tough wingnuts!

Here’s a glimpse at the research bases that allow hundreds of scientists to do research and whatnot on The Ice. Surely it’s not for everyone, but it could be pretty cool, right? You know they get up to some crazy good times down there.




It’s true that StickerGiant sells cool, groovy pre-printed stickers for your dorm room, your locker, the bumper of your car. You order one or two stickers and we pop them in the mail, lickety-split.

But we also print large batches of custom stickers for customers of all kinds. Bands, organizations, schools, charities, conferences…you name it! For those orders, we bundle up the printed stickers by the hundreds—even thousands—and ship them off in a box. So what happens once that band or that non-profit gets their order of 5,000 stickers?

Good question! Sometimes, companies just hand out their stickers at an event. But sometimes they need to mail them to customers or donors or whomever they like. And that means address labels and envelopes and countless trips to the post office. It’s a lot of work! (And we should know, right?)

That’s where the genius of We Mail Stickers comes in. For a really reasonable fee, they’ll handle all of your sticker fulfillment. They even give you a line of code to add to your website so that it’s a completely seamless transaction for your customers.

Brilliant, isn’t it? *Sniff* It’s like a match made in heaven!

(Note: not “we” as in StickerGiant. It’s “we” as in the name of this other company we just learned about.)

Citing influences ranging from Johnny Cash to the Violent Femmes, Leanna May & The Matadors are tearing it up in sunny San Diego.

We are a husband and wife song writing duo. We write a variety of songs and we can’t really be put in one specific genre. Some might call us “hicksters”. Some might call us “pop-a-billy”. All we can say is that we are awesome. We have both played in a few projects over the years, but when we got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout we joined forces and started writing everything together. We compose every piece of the songs on our own, from start to finish. When we play live we play with a full band.

Hicksters! We love it! We heard another good one recently: fauxhemian. Not to be confused with trustafarian, mind you, but still a useful portmanteau when one wants to smartly insult the kids these days.

What’s a portmanteau? To quote Humpty Dumpty: “‘You see it’s like a portmanteau (suitcase)—there are two meanings packed up into one word.” Our favorite word creation of all time has to be “spork”…if only for its close associations with Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Coming to a music festival near you—if you’re lucky—it’s Mudstomp Records:

We are here to promote this movement of new, raw, energetic, indisputably talented, and passion-filled fiery group of musicians who encompass the look, feel, sound, and stage of Mudstomp. Morphing and defying genres that include bluegrass, country, rockabilly, punk, and rock, Mudstomp is all of this on speed, intertwined with good ole boy freedoms and simplicity, and has perfected the art of creating something extraordinary out of the ordinary. Mudstompin’ is what occurs whenever these bands play, so it’s as much the fans, as the bands, who make it happen.

Sounds like a good time, doesn’t it? Those are the boys from Mountain Sprout in the picture, guess the Whistle Pigs couldn’t make it.

Didja ever wonder why they call it bluegrass? Our guess is that the stacked harmonies, unique picking style, and age-old ballads were popular in Kentucky, which of course is known as the Bluegrass State (it’s not the grass that’s blue, btw…it’s the seeds).

Bluegrass reached a highpoint in popularity after the release of the Coen brothers’ film,  O Brother, Where Art Thou?, in 2000. To be clear, there really aren’t any Soggy Bottom Boys, at least not in the formal sense of the word. The hit song from the movie is by Dick Burnett and the name is an homage to the Foggy Mountain Boys, led by Earl Scruggs and the late great Lester Flatt (you didn’t really think George Clooney did the singing on that, did you?).

A StickerGiant customer sent us this picture of one Big Al, all decked out in his kerchief and St. Louis Cardinals flare. Congrats on the World Series win, Big Al! You deserve to look so proud!

So what’s at the root of the human urge to dress up one’s pet? Let’s explore, shall we?

Is it attention-seeking? True, seeing a dog wearing a mailman costume is going to get some laughs. Is it a case of too much free  time? Is it a transference of our own desires to become something we’re not…hence all of the completely absurd “sexy” outfits (really? sexy skunk?). Or is it simple payback for all of those stains on the carpet? If so, the dog-as-cat outfit is a real…mind trick. For the record, the so-called alluring costume category is not limited to humans. Who’s a good French Maid? That’s right, Fido: you are!

Thanks, for sharing, Big Al. And thanks for choosing StickerGiant. Happy Halloween!

Update: Big Al sits outside of Clarkson Wilson Veterinary Clinic in Chesterfield, MO. Woof!

Why does that R/Trees sticker look so, um, sticky? Well, we’ll let them tell you:

Welcome to Trees.. the ultimate homegrown. A special community to get high with. Mature cannabis culture merges with education to discuss activism, cultivation, industry, medicine, recreation, & science. The place to share for the public’s good about humanity’s known friend cannabis. We r/ believers that the more 420 conscious & knowledgeable people.. the safer we all are.

Come on now, dear readers, we all know the days of Reefer Madness are long gone, right? Even the stalwarts of citizenship, the Chicago City Council, are contemplating decriminalization. That’s right: the City that Works could become the City that Just Kinda Hangs Out and Stuff Happens.

Could you, would you, on a bike? Could you would you, help promote bike safety, awareness, and smart cycling? (Hey, this is an extracurricular, not poetry class.) How We Roll OSU is an effort to make things safe for bikers, drivers, and pedestrians on and around the Ohio State University campus.

How We Roll is a unique cyclist outreach campaign developed by Bike OSU to foster a positive bike culture on campus, ensure that everyone can ride with confidence and eliminate bike/car crashes in the university area. The campaign features a mass media onslaught, community building events, loads of freebies and super fun free bicycle tours of Campus, the Short North and Downtown Columbus. Bike OSU’s experienced cyclists will share “how we roll” with fellow students during fall quarter to help them learn how to hold their own in traffic. Bike OSU (official name “Commuter Cyclists of The Ohio State University”) created this campaign with the support of Yay Bikes! and funding from ODOT, ODPS and NHTSA.

Speaking of bicycles, what would the creator of some of the silliest, best-loved children’s stories ride? Something ridiculous…but functional. Like this crazy fun ride, perhaps? Dr. Seuss would agree, we’re sure.

Even though the last Hummer vehicle rolled out of the GM factory in 2010, the spirit of the king of  SUVs—and its lesser-used acronym cousin, the SUT—lives on.

HUMMER 4×4 Off Road provides owners of the big dog an online forum for posting questions, arranging meetups, and sharing their love of the late, great mega-ride.

Launched as a commercial vehicle in 1992, the Hummer was GM’s version of the super-tough military vehicle. Like the Jeep was after WWII. Fun fact: the first one went to Arnold Schwartzenegger.

BTW, AM General is still making Humvees for the military. Or HMMWVs in Army-speak—which stands for high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle. The U.S. military has hundreds of acronyms, from A2 to ZULU, that we’re guessing makes someone’s life easier. Equally fascinating—though much more family-unfriendly and therefore way more humorous—are the myriad slang terms that have come out of our armed forces. Proceed with caution, kids!

Live for the Funk?  Oh, baby, you know we do. And our favorite music genre plus the Internet equals the fine folks at LFTF. Bet you’ll come for the free music downloads, but you’ll stay for the interviews, premiers, deep tracks, and a “Weekly Dose of Bass.”

We started LIVE FOR THE FUNK in 2008 with the simple vision of having a communal place to rave about the music we love. Since then, other than our look, nothing has changed. You’ll find great, new music selected by people who have a respect for eardrums. Our focus is to consume for the consumer. We sift through the junk so you don’t have to, providing you with only the music we wholeheartedly feel you should be listening to. Unless stated otherwise, every song featured on our site is available for free download.

Solid! While we love the founders of funk—Tower of Power, George Clinton, and of course, James Brown—we’re digging the sounds of the new crew like DJ Medhi and Sinjin Hawke. Old school, new school, it doesn’t matter; just as long as you grab your bop guns and get on down.

StickerGiant recently had the pleasure of printing custom stickers for social media whiz Mari Smith. Check out the video of our printing presses in action.

Don’t know Mari? You will, grasshopper. This Internet entrepreneur has been blazing the trail since 1999 to help businesses and causes master the art of  social media and relationship marketing. From books to training sessions to webinars to speaking engagements to Twitterific tips and topics, Ms. Smith is in touch like few others in her field. She even has a new book coming out this week! (No, we can’t confirm that she sleeps.)

To quote J.J. Walker, this lady is “dyn-o-mite!”

Maybe there’s something in the air as Halloween approaches? As with the folks at KillMoreZombies.com, our friends at Daddi O Smoke & Skate Shop are also incognito (at least online). Tell us the zombies aren’t skaters, too?

Anywho, Halloween is just around the corner, and if you don’t have a costume yet, hop to it! There are so many cute and funny ideas for kids’ costumes these days. No pressure, but if your kid goes out in a sheet with a couple of holes cut in it, well, Charlie Brown knows how your kid is gonna feel.

And for goodness sakes, what about the pets? Does Rufus have a costume yet? What about Fluffy? Looks like you’d better get your DIY on!

Speaking of costumes, allow us to step on the soap box for a moment. Exactly what is up with the trend of making just about any Halloween costume an opportunity to put the lady goods on display? You know what we’re talking about: naughty nurse, French maid, sexy bee. That’s right: one year, we saw a woman dressed up as a sexy BEE. Even worse? This year’s topical sexy costume is of a recently-assassinated terrorist (no joke). This has to stop! Let’s take a deep breath and get reasonable, people.

Things are looking a little dark over at KillMoreZombies.com. You guys okay out there?

While they get things ready to survive the Zombie Apocalypse (it could happen), let’s talk about where you were when you first thought zombies were cool.

Were you reading Jane Austen, when suddenly, zombies attacted? Thinking about the most awesome Michael Jackson video of all time, because it featured über-gentleman, Vincent Price? Or (admit it) were you watching the Weather Channel?

For this zombie lover, Sean of the Dead is about the best rom zom com out there…which is how we first fell in love with the undead.
