YouTubeThey Walk Among Us: Life-Size Muppet Costumes [Cosplay]
By Great White Snark | March 10, 2010
When I call these brilliant Muppet costume “life-size”, of course I don’t mean that they’re the size that Muppets would be “in real life”.

I mean that they represent a cross-section of the sizes of actual, living human beings.
For example, Dr. Teeth and his ponderous belly represent the size of actual human beings in central Florida.*
* BAM! Suck it, Florida.

Bulge-y: Captain America Cake [Geeky Cake]
By Great White Snark | March 9, 2010
Photos of the amazing cakes from the That Takes the Cake sci-fi-themed cake show in Austin at the end of February continue to pour* into the intertubes.
Just check out the phenomenal amount of sculpting that went into this Captain America cake: the contours of the face, the smooth, symmetrical curves of the shield, the scales of the armor, and the unnervingly-distracting bulge of that codpiece.

No, seriously… look at that thing. (The unnerving bulge, I mean.) I only wish that I could stop looking at it. Once you notice it, you can’t un-notice it.

Inglorious: Woman’s Superman Chest Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]
By Great White Snark | March 8, 2010
Whenever I see ill-conceived body art like this flowery Superman logo tattoo across this woman’s chestal/cleavage region, I immediately think of Westley’s sage words from The Princess Bride:
There’s a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. T’would be a pity to damage yours.
But then I think, “Well, if you’re the sort of person whose judgment sees fit to plaster a huge Superman logo across your chest–accented by a metal stud sticking out of your clavicle–then I would naturally perceive your breasts and other features as 37% less attractive, anyway. Scar away!”
Via BMEzine, who would never judge you for your phenomenally poor* choices in body scarification.
* No, seriously. Awful.

Industrious, I Guess: 8-Bit Video Game Wedding Invitation
By Great White Snark | March 4, 2010
So, “Lia” and her fiance went to the trouble of programming Super-Mario-like 8-bit video games* to serve as the invitations to their wedding.
“We knew that we didn’t want standard paper invites. We wanted something for people to keep and remember. We are geeks. We love video games. Why not have a video game invite?”
The thing is, the invited guests can’t see the wedding details until they win the game.
