Faces famous and mysterious

Total unknowns: Remember that guy who traded a red paperclip for that house in Saskatchewan? Well he has a new wacky quest: He found a photo of a bunch of hirsute guys—they could be a Slovenian wedding band from 1993, British plumbers at a bachelor party in 1986 or ironic hipsters in Mile-End in 2009—and he wants to track them down, or at least hear your crackpot theories as to who they are at whoaretheseguys.blogspot.com.

Bubble yum: Back in the day, you could get a wax pack of trading cards with a hardened stick of bubblegum for a quarter and have little cardboard images of Spock, Chewbacca and Batman to stick in the spokes of your Stingray. The fantastic Automatic Lifestyle Dispenser blog has been posting remixed trading cards from unlikely movies by the Coen Brothers, Woody Allen and Francis Ford Coppola. Cover your Trapper Keeper with die-cut Anton Chigurh stickers at automaticlifestyledispenser.com/blog/.
