You can't hitchhike to the North Pole, silly!

Because who doesn't want to be the envy of this year's ugly Christmas sweater party, here's a do-it-yourself sweater from Mark Rober featuring an iPad playing a crackling fire animation (links to iTunes page to download the animations). I'm going to make one. Everyone is gonna be so jealous I bet they'll be talking about me WELL into next year.

*fast forward to July*

Friend 1: Hey -- remember when GW wore that iPad to the ugly Christmas sweater party?
Friend 2: Sure do, what an @$$hole that guy is.
Friend 1: No kidding, I'm definitely not inviting him this year.
Friend 2: Good call, LOLOL.
GW: Hey guys, what's up?
Friend 1: Oh nothing, we were just talking about girls.
GW: Beautiful creatures, aren't they? I mean, except all the girls you two have been with.
Friend 1: You're not invited to next year's Christmas party.
GW: PREPARE TO DIE.

Hit the jump for a video.

Thanks to Stephanie and dram, who told me a story about a guy who shaved his belly hair into the shape of a Christmas tree for an ugly Christmas sweater party and at least two people puked eggnog when they saw him.

  • USPS Enterprise: Dude's Custom Star Trek Mailbox
    December 20, 2011
    This is a shot of some Reddit user's uncle's homemade Star Trek mailbox. It's solar powered so it lights up at night to attract highschoolers with bats. I mean, I'd like to THINK they wouldn't smash it, but they would smash it. And if he rebuilt it, they would smash it again... / Continue →

  • Oh not only do you have a iPad, but you think so little of it you buy a shirt, cut a hole in it and use it as a moving graphic. Can we stop now.

  • Oh, hey.. I didn't see you there.
