Sep 3 2008Star Trek Set Built Out Of Rice Krispie Boxes
Mmmm, looks delicious, doesn't it? Sure does. Self proclaimed Trekkie and Krispie Bob Prior built various Star Trek sets out of Rice Krispie boxes. Why? Because they're goddamn delicious, that's why.
His 50 models include the Starship Enterprise, its command bridge and captains James T Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard.
The car park attendant, who says his favorite characters are Kirk, Scotty and McCoy, took six months to put together his cardboard collection, and roped in sons Nigel, 25, and Daniel, 20.
Uh-oh, this is worse than I thought. Run away, Nigel and Daniel. Run away from your virginity! Let the old man build all the cereal ships he wants, he's already stuck eating the same brand everyday. But for you, there are still options -- Lucky Charms, Raisin Nut Bran, Cookie Crisp, and, if you swing that way, Fruity Pebbles and Honey Bunches of Nuts. The point is, taste the different flavors before it's too late! Ha, you see what I did there? I used cereal as a metaphor for being sexually promiscuous. You just got your RDA of Literary Krispies!
Hit the jump for a picture of some ships and the man himself.

Thanks to Silver Sided, who agrees that they should swap the ratio of marshmallows to shitty oats in Lucky Charms.

If Bob Prior built the models, why does the first picture say, "Model designed by Ron Caudillo"?

well this guy totally ripped off Ron Caudillo's design! Well at least he gave him credit....kinda.
Is it me or are the ships much more impressive than the set?

Ummm. "His sons" and "virginity" don't go together.

I think I would be more impressed if they were made out of Grape Nuts boxes.

I like the life size Laura Croft in the background of picture 2.

I love how the guy in the pic has the look on his face like "I have no life so I ate about 8,000 boxes of cereal and made this shit!!!!"....
p.s.
It's actually sort of cool, I'm just a jealous prick!!!!
