the Battle of Helm’s Deep…in candy!

Every now and again a fan goes deep into the psychadelic technicolour orgasm which is fandom and busts out something completely insane and completely frickin’ cool. This, ladies, gentlemen, elves, dwarves, dryads, naiiads, and my fellow Narnians, is that thing.

The Battle of Helm’s Deep, in candy.

Helm's Deep, in candy

The whole thing was constructed out of cardboard, glue, icing and… well, candy. It clocked in at about 7 feet long by 3 feet deep by 2 feet tall. We used over 500 Gummy Bears as orcs and Uruk-Hai. The Elves, Dwarves and Men were represented by sour patch kids. Most of these were of course corpses.

Head on over to the site to see the whole gallery of pictures and details of the amazing Tootsie Roll Pop catapults.

Show me the luv at the Bloggie Awards, people!

A Junky’s Christmas podcast

I’m trying this again, just because I’m that damn stubborn. Totally worth it if you get it working, though.

Yay, I got it working! Good thing, because YouTube has been sketchier than a wild junky on the lookout for a hit lately.

Hurray! Happy feelings! Happy! Happy! Happy!

best presents in history: dick in a box and box in a box

Justin Timberlake, something tells me you just might get lucky…and this time, with a girl who can sing, too! Here are the best-matched Christmas presents since O. Henry‘s great short story, Gift of the Magi.

This is a video response to Timberlake’s SNL video Dick in a Box, which you can see in its uncensored glory here. “Backstage at the CMA’s,” I mean, WTF???

And now, Box in a Box:

Oh, man; story of my life. Hmmm, not flattering, but I guess it’s still better than an acrylic sweater. Stolen from the highly ripoff-worthy Cindy RedDeer.


You Are a Losing Lottery Ticket!


Full of hope and promise.

But in the end, a cheap letdown.
