Photo concept shamelessly stolen from our friend Victor Giarusso We all know at least one. There are dozens of them out there. Some of us have even taken the vow. It's not an easy lifestyle choice. Constant harassment from friends and family. And for what? Broccoli. BROCCOLI! Extra cold in winter, because wool is murder. Amish? No. Celibate? Probably not. They're vegan. So this one is dedicated to all the sweater-shunning, cheese-refusing, stand up citizens of the world. We're respectfully pouring a cheeseburger on the ground for you, kid. Ladies & Gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest Freaker in the family... Vegan!

As some of you have probably realized by now, Freakers were featured on Good Morning America earlier today! A nice lady said some nice things on a nice little tv show. What this means for you: RIGHT NOW there are 10 styles on sale at 50% off. Right now. It technically ends tomorrow at  noon, but let's be honest: your memory is shot, and you'll forget about this in an hour. So get it while the getting is good. LOVIN ON YOU! 

Alright, chirpies. We’re dropping a motherload from the mothership in the motherland on you today. Welcome to the family, 5 new Freaker friends!:

This is Franz Josef Glacier. It specializes in glacier stuff and Freakers. We're in the process of updating our store locator. One of the international shops gave us an especially hard time with a correct address because the "city" is listed AS AN EFFIN' GLACIER. In New Zealand. A glacier in New Zealand. A KIWI GLACIER, PEOPLE! There is a GLACIER that has nothing at all BUT ICE BECAUSE IT'S A GLACIER, and people come and HANG OUT ON A GLACIER... and the gift shop sells Freakers. My work here is finished. Enjoy the sunshine, kiddos.

This is our first day back in the office since Monday. The entire south-east turned into a solid sheet of ice for three days. What we learned in those three days is the absolute diversity of how people deal with “cabin fever.” The first day was all fun-times and snowballs. The second day was data entry and Netflix. By the third day, some of us were manically attaching mattresses to pickup trucks "for sleds", while others were making deranged fan pages for NASCAR drivers on Angelfire.com. Yes, all of these stories are true. Now we want to know what strange things you find yourself doing after 3 days of cabin fever. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING THIS WEEK: We have 5 care packages to give away this week featuring $30 gift codes from Halflife USA! Each one of their impossibly-soft shirts is made from locally sourced materials and manufactured in the USA! Ambitious and motivated, the guys over at Halflife are on a mission to restructure how society views the cycle of homelessness in our communities. Not only does 10% of each sale goes to a shelter of your choice, but they’ve also set up mobile programs for transitional employment. Keep on freakin on, Bubba. Each care package also comes with a Freaker of your choice! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Twitter and let us know what activities keep you occupied during a spell of cabin fever with the hashtag #HalfFreaked for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

Me, you, Pharrell and NEW FREAKER ALERT: Sans Sheriff!! Have you seen Pharrell's silly hat? Of course you've seen Pharrell's silly hat. Have you analyzed how his silly hat wasn't actually silly at all because "Pharrell's sartorial choices are protected by legitimate cultural references." Of course not. Nobody cares about social commentary when it comes to silly hats. They just want to celebrate the silliness of silly hats. With that, we've officially joined the silly hat celebrations. Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest Freaker in the family.... Sans Sheriff!!!

GUYS. They're getting hitched! Our very own Alisha (Head Babe In Charge) and Dallas (Designer ; Harder Than Drake) are engaged! Should we force them to do the ceremony in our warehouse or WHAT? Also relevant: MYBAD on the quality of the engagement photo. It was taken 2 years ago on a shattered iPhone and we have been refusing to take new ones because get back to work.

Everyone, consciously or not, forms habits with their words. We’ve recently noticed some of our own patterns. For example, we dissproportionately call "un-saucy" things “saucy." Nobody is quite sure where “chicki chicki boom boom” came from, but we overuse the saying without shame. An overwhelming amount Ricky Martin quotes. The word “getchu.” And the staggering amount of times we’ve called a person “little bird.” It might be time to shake the habit and flip the bird. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING THIS WEEK: We have 8 care packages to give away this week featuring bags from Flipped Bird! The lovely folks at Flipped Bird hand make reversible bags right here in the US of A. This week’s care packages include one of their reversible tiny bags, a 3 pack of their snagless hair ties and a Furbie Spice Freaker! (total retail value: $41) HOW TO ENTER: Do you flip out, flip your flops, or flip a coin? Get on Instagram and show us what you can flip with the hashtag #FreakerFlipped for your chance to win!

Were you denied your deserved Blue Blood when Bloomingdales sold out of it's online stock? Did you feel the true depths of depravity? "THERE IS NO JUSTICE," you yelled from your ivory tower. Every time your team lost a game, you undeniably traced the evidence back to Bloomingdales.com and their lack of Blue Blood Freakers. You were living in the dark ages. Maybe you still are.  There is hope, my friend. Bloomingdales has a Super Bowl pop-up shop on 59th street in Manhattan right now. They have your coveted Blue Bloods for sale. For you. Just for you. Now go forth and prosper, young buck. 

Once upon a time in a land 20 years away, there lived a magical creature named 1996. Her pets were digital, her fashion was clueless, her music was Will Smithy. She was a perfect woman until one day she finally took Prince’s advice. She partied like it was 1999, and never looked back. Today we remember her in all of her former glory and pay respects to her golden days. Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Freaker family… Furbie Spice!

For last week's Freaker Friday, we asked what you and Dennis Rodman would chat about in a newsroom scenario. The moment that your tweets started spilling in, we started to get jealous. Our jealousy about your hypothetical conversations with Dennis Rodman wasn't a normal jealousy. It was uncontrollable jealousy. The kind of jealousy that makes you buy a boat just to set it on fire. The kind of jealousy that forces you to marry yourself in a fit of jealously (of yourself.) There was only one logical option at this point. We flew to Newsroom, USA and called our old friend D-Rod. This was the result. Two peas in a freakpod. 

Once upon a time, we built an office inside of our office. We recently decided that it would only be logical to build another office inside of the office that we built inside of our office.  Our eternal work in progress just got a little more progressive.
