Los Angeles is currently hotter than the surface of the sun and I am going to go stand inside the cold storage at my local liquor store. While I cool my bum on a keg of Natty Light, ENJOY:

\-- This may be our silliest piece for Vanity Fair yet: [Who Wore It Best: GODZILLA V. GODZILLA.](https://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2014/05/godzilla-original-godzilla-new?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- [So, this story about the oldest active National Park Ranger is SO GOOD.](https://www.npr.org/2014/05/15/312707926/oldest-national-park-ranger-shares-what-gets-remembered?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) She's 92, and she's amazing. (NPR)

\-- You guys. [Refinery29 has come out with another post about city hall weddings](https://www.refinery29.com/city-hall-wedding-style?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#slide). YOU KNOW I LOVE THESE. I literally have never made it through an entire post without misting up.

\-- On that topic, [Never Underdressed put together a slideshow of 50 memorable wedding dresses from the movies.](https://www.neverunderdressed.com/fashion/news/50-wedding-dresses-in-movies-and-films?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Swoon.

\-- Flavorwire looks at [the 25 Greatest Homes in Literature](https://flavorwire.com/456790/the-25-greatest-homes-in-literature/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) in honor of Daphne du Maurier's birthday; I admit that when I saw the headline, I thought, "if Manderley isn't on this list I WILL RAGE." Instead I am raging because they didn't include Tara from *Gone With the Wind*, which seems like an oversight. Ditto *Howard's End.*

\-- BCCAmerica's Anglophenia blog looks at [why we Americans have dropped the "U" in so many English words](https://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2014/05/america-drop-u-british-spellings/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). My assumption was that it was to be difficult.

\-- Speaking of the Brits, I want to eat everything in this: [The Serious Eats Guide to British Sweets](https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/the-serious-eats-guide-to-british-sweets.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- Racked looks into [why Restoration Hardware's catalogs are SO DAMN HUGE](https://racked.com/archives/2014/05/13/restoration-hardware-expansion.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

\--[ *Harper's Bazaar UK* has a post that's JUST a slideshow of really great hotel balconies and it's so soothing, you guy](https://www.harpersbazaar.co.uk//travel/travel-guides/the-worlds-best-balconies?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)s. So soothing. We need to go to all of there.

\-- As it is horse-racing season: [The 1940s Plan to Replace Jockeys With Robots.](https://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/the-1940s-plan-to-replace-jockeys-with-robots-1575204059?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Gizmodo)

\-- The British Museum asks, [The Vandals: Victims of Bad Press?](https://blog.britishmuseum.org/2014/05/15/the-vandals-victims-of-a-bad-press/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I'd argue, at the very least, possibly bad branding.

\-- You've probs already seen the shot of the new Batsuit from the new Batman, but [can't we all just be happy that at least there are no nipples](https://www.laineygossip.com/Is-this-Ben-Affleck-in-new-Batsuit/30224?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? (Lainey)

\-- This is juicy, from *The Hollywood Reporter: '*[West Wing' Uncensored: Aaron Sorkin, Rob Lowe, More Look Back on Early Fears, Long Hours, Contract Battles and the Real Reason for Those Departures.](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/west-wing-uncensored-aaron-sorkin-703010?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- This story is about Tom Hiddleston's new movie, [but really it's about the photo in which he is holding a sock monkey.](https://www.celebitchy.com/366037/tom%5Fhiddlestons%5Flove%5Finterest%5Fin%5Fhigh%5Frise%5Fwill%5Fbe%5Fsienna%5Fmiller%5Fyay%5For%5Fnay/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Celebitchy)

\-- From The Wire: [All 24 New TV Series for Fall 2014, in Order of How Fast They'll Be Cancelled](https://www.thewire.com/entertainment/2014/05/all-24-new-tv-series-for-fall-2014-in-order-of-how-fast-theyll-be-cancelled/370972/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

\-- On the same topic, [Ranking CBS's New Offerings Based on their Trailers from Interesting to Weak Procedural Bullshit](https://www.pajiba.com/tv%5Freviews/ranking-cbss-new-offerings-based-on-their-trailers-from-interesting-to-weak-procedural-bullsht-.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#5UGLitkGUGiuyILi.99).
