Purveyors of all the awesome stuff you never knew you needed, Archie McPhee is basically what you find when you finally beat the end boss of the Internet.

They’ve been providing delighted customers with inflatable bee beards and cat-sized unicorn horns for decades. Upon visiting their site or Seattle store even the most jaded anti-consumerist will find themselves longingly looking at their fine selection of fake moustaches or the pickle flavoured candy canes. This year Archie McPhee is going to be directly responsible for a lot of VandalEye-ing at the Moonbase. They’ve sent us so many googly eyes.

Desert Bus has the best fans. When you’re not keeping those wheels spinning and helping children with your amazing acts of charity you take the time to send us awesome milestone pictures, doodles, memes, and so much more!

Here’s another dose of Magic cards, milestones, and stuff that’s just awesome and weird (I’m looking at you, Dengler & Butts). Keep ’em coming!

Please make your pictures no larger than 1000 x 1000 pixels wide (and 640 wide is great because we don’t have to resize!), and use the following file formats: JPG, PNG, GIF.

It takes a very special kind of person to drive the Desert Bus. We received a lot of great art for this contest but only one truly encompassed all of the traits we require from our drivers.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet Matt’s favorite from the draw the Desert Bus Driver contest: Mr. QWOP, drawn by Simon Sweetman:
