Thursday, March 18th, 2010I can’t look at this watermelon Death Star and not think of Gallagher and the Sledge-O-Matic.

Now with Extra-Pointy Ears: Junkyard Steampunk Yoda
Thursday, March 11th, 2010So here’s a steampunk Yoda sculpture built from random metal scraps.

It’s not often a geek can out-badass the neighborhood’s Johnny Power Tool, so cheers to Nick.

The Force Is Creamy with this One: Life-Size Yoda Butter Sculpture
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010I guess I shouldn’t have told Google that its ass looked fat in those jeans, because it wouldn’t give up the goods tonight when I was trying to figure out who crafted this larger-than-life-size sculpture of Yoda out of butter.
UPDATE: Commenter mel whispered some sweet nothings into Google’s ear. Here’s the butter Yoda story.
