Mr. Sparkle!

Can you see that I am serious?!



Yesterday's post of the awesome Fruity Oaty Bar ad reminded me of my other favourite Asian-inspired fake ad. By the way, isn't it sad that the fake ads are so much better than real ones (in North America, anyway)?

This post brought to you by Matsumura Fishworks and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern.

Not Mandatory!

Of all the Firefly/Serenity merchandise out there, this Fruity Oaty bobblehead trio has to be my favourite. Found here.

And what's this Fruity Oaty thing all about, you ask? It's the catalyst for a pivotal scene in Serenity, a movie that--if you haven't already seen it--must be watched (but only after you watch the one-season TV series Firefly, which you should do immediately). You'll thank me (cash gifts are also acceptable).

Now enjoy the Fruity Oaty Bar ad in all its surreal glory:

Get your (Doctor) fix

Adipose stress toy (guaranteed not to attempt to wipe out a large proportion of the local population!)
They're not dolls--they're action figures.


Okay, these ones are dolls (and definitely the coolest nesting dolls I've seen).

People online come up with some wacky ideas. This one is going around at the moment: take a picture of yourself with your head in a freezer, upload it to a photo site, and tag it with the number in the title above. Why? So that people can search for the number on google images and come up with a bunch of photos of people sticking their heads into freezers. Like I said--wacky. But there are a few fun and creative variations on the theme, this one being my favourite:

Although, I'd be a lot happier if the original poster knew the difference between "your" and "you're." Doing it wrong indeed.

Han originally found here, along with a bunch of the other photos.

Pardon me, but that cephalopod of ultimate evil seems to be eating your head...

Who would have thought there'd be an entire industry devoted to knit Cthulhu headgear?




See these and more on Etsy (click on photos to take you to the individual listings).

Look over there...

Now back to me.
It's my SO's birthday today.

This isn't his cake but I wish I'd thought of it. Instead I'll just dedicate this post to my SO (that's just as good, right?)

Nabbed from this livejournal post (including the title--sorry, it was just too good not to use).

Happy Birthday, baby!
