Design includes feature to hook up altars for members you’d wish would hook up as well. It’s not at all unusual for hardcore anime or idol fans to have a corner of their room that they’ve set up as a “shrine” to their favorite character or performer. So why not make your shrine look like a shrine? That’s the idea behind the Oshi wo Matsuru Kamidana (“Altar for Enshrining Oshi”) from Tokyo-based novelty good maker Dreams.

Q. Honk: While traveling on the 5 Freeway through the Carlsbad/Oceanside area, I saw orange and white stripes dividing the lanes. What are drivers to assume this means? A. The mention of “orange and white” – always – reminds Honk of Good Humor’s Creamsicles, those tasty white-ice-cream-on-a-stick treats coated with an orange exterior of sherbet. Seeing orange stripes where one would expect white ones may soon remind motorists to be more careful. “That is a pilot program to make drivers aware that they are driving in (a) construction zone and to maintain a (reduced) 55-mph speed limit,” Steve Welborn, a Caltrans spokesman for that area, told Honk in an email. “We’re testing different patterns on each side of the freeway...
