    Bonus points for still including Pluto. This is 8-year old Elenor Clements posing with the marshmallow bunny solar system that earned her first prize in the Peep diorama kid's category and scored her a big box of candy and Peeps. You can't beat that deal. You also can't beat... / Continue →

    Because Easter is right around the corner (and hiding there with a scary bunny mask on), here's a Mario and piranha plant made entirely out of marshmallow Peep 'pixels' by one of Redditor MrSteveB's friends. Did anybody else not know they make grass-green Peeps now? Or were t... / Continue →

    This is an Ice King snow sculpture from Adventure Time. He looks sad. Like he just wants to find a princess but can't. Poor Ice King, settle for a giant snow penis? Thanks to ChaosLex, who loves chaos so much he goes around kicking the heads off snowmen and replacing them... / Continue →

    FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm visiting my family in Alabama for the first time in two and half years so if posting gets sporadic the next couple days it's because I'm catching up with my parents, hanging out with my brother, playing with my nieces, or explaining to my little sister why ... / Continue →

    This is the Chemistree, an unorthodox Christmas tree made out of chemistry lab equipment and a bunch of different magic potions. "Those aren't magic potions." Oh I'm sorry, did you take the picture? "Well, no." So you have no way of knowing what they are, do you? "And neit... / Continue →

    So a friend of mine decided to use those William Sonoma cookie cutters to bake a batch of Star Wars cookies for Christmas. This is the result. She made me pinky swear not to identify her in the post though so we'll just call her ALLISON SWAN OF 3520 ATHENS BOULEVARD, LOS ANGE... / Continue →

    You can't hitchhike to the North Pole, silly! Because who doesn't want to be the envy of this year's ugly Christmas sweater party, here's a do-it-yourself sweater from Mark Rober featuring an iPad playing a crackling fire animation (links to iTunes page to download the animati... / Continue →

    This is the Millennium Falcon gingerbread house ship on display at the Inn at Laurel Point as part of Canada's National Gingerbread Showcase 2012. It was made entirely out of edible ingredients, which is reassuring because I just ate the whole thing when nobody was looking. W... / Continue →

    Seen here lounging in a VERY magical looking living room, a lady models the $35 Gryffindor Uniform Comfy Throw With Sleeves. It's not actually a Snuggie like I said in the title though -- Snuggies are a name brand, and this is not. Unfortunately, you're not a Gryffindor so th... / Continue →

    Hey -- you want a scarf that has all the words from the One Ring on it? Well consider this your lucky day (at least until you see I sideswiped your car in the parking lot and didn't leave a note) because knitter Diana Stafford has got you covered with this DIY pattern. The pa... / Continue →

    This is paralympian ski-racer Josh Sundquist's iconic 'A Christmas Story' leg lamp Halloween costume. He did a great job. Now, not to sound too gay or anything, but my goodness that is A GOOD LOOKING LEG. The kind you'd just love to rub your hand down when you're watching a ... / Continue →

    This is a video of a chainsaw destroying a fake-blood filled pumpkin in slow motion. It was made by non-profit haunted house Hundred Acres Mansion as a reminder to everyone to have a safe and happy Halloween. You know, because crazy chainsaw wielding = safety. Do as I say, n... / Continue →

    This is Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles carved out of a watermelon inside a pumpkin by artist Mike V. As you can see, he did an amazing job and clearly has the skills to pay the bills. Cover my electricity this month? Hit the jump for another angle and the concep... / Continue →

    This is a pumpkin carved and lit to play Tetris. You can actually PLAY Tetris on it, using the stem as a joystick. You can read about the whole build process HERE, which was way more complicated than just taping a Game Boy to a pumpkin like I would have done. I dunno, it jus... / Continue →

    This is a video of Youtube user hickok45 carving a pumpkin WITH BULLETS. He's a pretty good shot. Not as good as me, but they don't call me Dead Eye Dingaling for nothing. "I thought they called you that because you always pee your name in the snow." Well sure, but how much... / Continue →

    Remember Choo-San's original series of painted body modifications? WELL SHE'S BACK WITH MORE. These ones seem to have a zipper/buttons theme. Now, for all who are wondering what I look like under this bitchin' "I BRAKE FOR TURTLES" t-shirt, the first picture after the jump i... / Continue →

    Some people go all out with crazy Christmas decorations. Some go all out for Halloween. And then there's this crazy person who made a bunch of Star Wars character scarecrows and put them on display in their front yard, hopefully year round. And even if they don't leave them ... / Continue →

    This is Phylllodes Imperialis, the Imperial Fruit Sucking Moth, in its caterpillar form. It has a giant skull and eyeballs on its head to scare away predators. It worked on me and I'm not even a predator. There are some much better shots after the jump courtesy of planet.ner... / Continue →

    This is a series of unbelievably impressive carved pumpkins on display as part of the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at the Rodger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island. The Spectacular features over 5,000 carved pumpkins, but apparently only 100 or so are this impressive... / Continue →

    This is a series of carved pumpkins from Trevor Grove and the rest of the crew at Villafine Studios (of this Predator and one-ton pumpkin carving fame). They're ridiculous. They can carve pumpkins better than I could carve, well, pretty much anything. Although one time time ... / Continue →
