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.

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!

the most improbable meme in the world soldiers on

Zounds!

From raincoaster to Archie…from Archie to Metro…the madness marches, tagless. Is there no end to this insanity? No abbreviation of this alliteration? Nay, not so but constant consonance.

SriusLEE, had I known Metro‘s favorite Shakespearian play was Macbeth, I’d have hesitated longer before accepting his hospitality. Truly, Lord and Lady Macbeth stand as a shining and eternal example of all that a host and hostess should not be. But I went anyway: if he’d only told me they had no gin, that woulda been a dealbreaker.

A sliver of MacMetro‘s elegant, piercing, and tearjerking, if unhyperlinked, contribution:

Is this a blogger that I see before me,
The keyboard t’wards mine hands? Ah, now I click thee.
I posted thee, and yet I see thee still,
Art thou froze, lousy server? Not sensible
To mine heart’s broken cries? Or is this but
A pausing at the node, a short delay?
Originating from the crowded cable?
I see thee yet, in form the same
As t’other window that I now do open.
Thou mock’st my labours of an hour ago,
And the environment I blog in.
Mine fingers drum upon the veneer’d desktop
But answer comes there none, I see thee still,
Thy circling logo saith “‘Tis being published”
Yet ’tis not so, I trow. There’s no such thing!
It is the fruit of hours that hath gone
From my account.

Of course, it’s his own fault for not being on WordPress.

What the hell: I’ve always felt both peculiar and aristocratic.

Stole this (in good aristocratic fashion) from Azahar.
