This American Christmas devil card has been floating around lately. More info at Brad Mcginty.

While I do love this card it reminds me of the Krampus. Now I didn’t really know much about the Krampus before this, but I think the following describes him well.

“Krampus is the dark companion of St. Nicholas, the traditional European winter gift-bringer who rewards good children each year on December 6. The kindly old Saint leaves the task of punishing bad children to a hell-bound counterpart The Horned Devil, also known as Krampus known by many names across the continent — Knecht Ruprecht, Certa, Perchten, Black Peter, Schmutzli, Pelznickel, Klaubauf, and Krampus. Usually seen as a classic devil with horns, cloven hooves and monstrous tongue, but can also be spotted as a sinister gentleman dressed in black or a hairy man-beast. Krampus punishes the naughty children, swatting them with switches and rusty chains before dragging them in baskets to a fiery place below.” via krampus.com

Lets look at some pictures of this guy!

I think telling children there is some black hairy devil that is going to whip them with sticks and chains if they are naughty, may work a little better then telling them Santa wont give them presents if they are bad. Especially when its traditional for young men to dress like the Krampus and frighten small children in Austria.

May also give them a complex and require them to see a shrink for many years, but who am I to judge. Happy holidays guys and watch out for the Krampus!

This guy has so much interesting work… Dali Atomicus is one of my favorite portrait photographs, I probably just have something for surreal photography. Really though look at some of this.

Awesome.

Directions are $2-$10 and some are really neat. Even a few freebies. At the least its a cool idea.

Ever since that Red Cross dude missed my vein 3 times, and then left the needle half way in while he went to get help, I have been anti-donating blood. Sorry know I should be a better person, but that hurt like hell, and then he proceeded to tell a story about hitting a curb with the blood mobile… Do you really blame me? This is a cool idea though…

Thanks to Alex for bringing this guy on my radar.

build a house for less then $500

Pretty neat.

I would need land and a lot of time though, and I have a million other things to do.
Besides my yurt was much easier and cheaper to build best $160 ever. www.hexayurt.com
