I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

I don't know about sexy, but maybe the most bad-ass president. Dude took a bullet and still delivered a ninety minute speech.
I just (well, last night) read a thing at Cracked ranking badass Presidents, and they had Teddy at #1 for just that reason.
Although Andrew Jackson clearly should have been #2:
Most badass quote: "I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun." That's right. In a life rich with murdering people for little-to-no reason, Jackson's only regret was that he didn't kill quite enough people. People like Calhoun who, it should be noted, was Jackson's vice president.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And now for something completely different: Death Panda
They just don't write spine tinglers about killer pandas like they used to. Check out Heroic Comics #35, Facing Death in a Panda's Mouth, in its entirety below the fold.
Pandas really don't have such huge, pointy canines, do they? Unless the rare giant killer death panda does....
The comic is pretty awesome, for all values of 'awesome' = 'terrible'....

I had xtra sharp cheddar and a honeycrisp apple for lunch (and a few crackers). I know I'll be hungry soon but, dag, it was delicious!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If I were a piece of bamboo, I'd be pretty damned scared of 'em: [link] (they are carnivores, after all, even if they're freaky vegetarian carnivores.)

If I can make it out of here for 15 minutes I might have to run out to the farmer's market and see what I can scare up in the way of apples and good cheese.

Cyberpunk science fiction pioneer William Gibson has lent his name to some very cool bags and jackets (and sneakers). The products are a joint effort of two Japanese firms, bag company Porter, and Buzz Rickson, remakers of vintage military clothing. The William Gibson Collection from Buzz Rickson includes a black M-65 field jacket, N-3 flying jacket, and N-1 deck jacket. Buzz Rickson jackets (scroll down for Gibson Collection items), Porter bag info (Cool Hunting)
UPDATE: In the comments, Doctor Popular points out that Self Edge in San Francisco has the bags and sneakers for sale and are hosting a party with Gibson in person on 11/9.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
