There’s nothing to do but be amused here with Jason Steele’s goofy (and random) video about two really bored marshmallows, and the depths they will go to relieve their ennui. (Thanks Ryan!)

This anatomical model sleeping bag with removable skull pillow is a great way creep out the kids and counselors alike at summer camp. It costs right around $73, but it’s on a website from Japan.
