The Confectionery - 16

These are the things that I think are great.

AMERICAN PSYCHO CUPCAKES

Jade Thompson had these made for her boyfriend & now I kind of wish I was her boyfriend.  Everything about these is wonderful.  The business card (is that pale nimbus white?), the videotape, the book, the weapons & HOLY BATEMAN, the "Don't just stare at it, eat it" quote.  Perfection.

Those are very fine cupcakes you're not eating.

 BREAKING WARS/STARS BAD

I love Breaking Bad, & I love Star Wars.  Over at Something Awful, they host a Photoshop Phriday, where their users take on a particular theme.  This week it was Breaking Bad meets Star Wars, & some of these are genius.  

You can view the whole gallery of images here, but beware of Breaking Bad spoilers!

 BAD LIP READING OF TWILIGHT

Think Twilight is bloody awful, but can't get away from it?  A bad lip reading of Twilight makes it much more palatable.  Such a vast improvement on the dialogue - how dare she eat his cake!  Hilarious.

 Kevvvvvvin.

PLANTS VS ZOMBIES TOYS

Toys "R" Us stores now have based-on-an-app sections, featuring toys from Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Annoying Orange, & Where's My Water.  But where are the beloved zombies & plant warriors from the always fun Plants Vs Zombies? Popcap has finally created a line of toys & they. are. adorable.

These guys are available at thinkgeek.com

Available for pre-order now, along with Sunflower, Squash & Jalapeno here.

Way to ignore my brain & head straight for my heart, Disco Zombie!  I want all of them.  They will go lovely with my "Plants vs Zombies"-themed kitchen, don't you think?

 FACE JUGGLER

This is an app you need to have.  Face Juggler immediately identifies & swaps the faces in a picture, with amusing results.  The free version lets you swap 2 faces, & the $1.99 version will let you swap up to 10 faces in 1 photo.  It is entertaining.

The Confectionery - 14

These are the things that I think are great.  So great that I want to sing about them.

ROM-COM FACE-SWAP

Finally, a site that compiles all your favourite Romantic Comedy movie posters with the faces swapped.  I seriously love Sandra Bullock as a man in both of her posters featured on this site, but this poster has a tiny Ryan Reynolds, so...

And because I can't just choose one favourite, here's another one I can't stop staring at.  Is it just me, or do they look better like this?

 

See more of  your favourites, with a twist, here.

WAMPA ICE SCRAPER

I know it's still August, & nobody should be thinking about the harsh realities of winter, but these are too full of awesome to wait.  Canada isn't quite the frozen wasteland Hoth is, but these new Wampa ice scrapers from thinkgeek will help me pretend.

I might get 2 & lumber around roaring & swiping at people.  They would certainly come in handy for snow-shoveling wars with the neighbours.  Available in October for $24.99, you can sign up to be notified by email when they're in stock here.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY CAST DOES NEWSIES

Perhaps I'm moving too quickly from nerd territory into super-nerd territory, but this must be shared.  The touring cast of The Addams Family reworked the opening song from Newsies, "Carryin' The Banner".  Tired of moping around on stage, here they dream about singing & dancing as happily as those newsboys, imagining "a show with no more snaps".

THEATRE PEOPLE ARE AWESOME.  Compare with the original version from my #1 sick day movie pick, Newsies.  Because how could Christian Bale in a Disney musical about unions in 1899 New York not improve your day?

BABY GOT BACK - SUNG BY THE MOVIES

This made me laugh.  To see a full list of movies used, go here & hover over the CC button.
