Halloween is days (day?) away, but fear not, procrastinator! There’s no need to resort to a pedestrian triangles-and-smile face on this year’s decorative gourds. Try one of these groovy ideas on for size!

Dudes and dudettes, let us be real for a moment: life can be pretty gnarly at times. Doubly so if you happen to be a character in some nerd’s novel (what’s the deal with a bildungsroman, anyway?). When the proverbial shizzle hits the fan, you’re gonna need one righteous support system to safely lead you past the core conflict into a groovy dénouement. In the most trying of times, that is when you truly require a great bro.

Bros can come in all shapes and sizes. The important thing is that you find yourself a homie that will stick by your side through thick and thin. Sure, you may get all up in each other’s grills from time to time, but—at the end of the day—your bro will unfailingly come through for you, every time. So, without further ado, let’s celebrate some of the most epic literary broships of all time.

This summer I was busy getting married and moving into a new house. So when it came to choosing a character to cosplay this year I had some important criteria. The costume had to be…

1. Easy
2. Inexpensive
3. Epic*

*(Obviously.) Otherwise, what’s the point? 😉

It didn’t take me long to decide on Kaylee Frye from Joss Whedon’s short lived, but greatly loved TV series, Firefly. Here's how you can make one, too!

Wow. Amaze. Very fiction. Such fluff. So Quirk. If you don’t speak doge, then you might be a little confused—like many internet memes, doges and shibes just need to be seen to understood. In a nutshell, they're kind of like lolcats, but with Shibas instead of cats, and lower-case Comic Sans instead of ALL CAPS Impact. So book, wow, such characters, amaze.

Get it? Sort of? Then please allow me to translate: We are so excited to share with you some of our favorite fictional doge!

Skittles flavored vodka. I repeat, Skittles. Flavored. Vodka.

Recipes like this are why it’s great to be a grown-up: sure, fruity candy is tasty, but wouldn’t it be better if it were…boozier? This is a great and inexpensive gift for friends who need a pop of color on their bar, or just a fun and easy way to fancy up your cocktails at home. Best of all, it’s as simple as pouring things in jars—but it’s a two-day process, so plan accordingly.
