Website of the Week

Cake Wrecks

I stumbled upon this website last night, and I was laughing so hard that I was afraid I was going to wake up the house. It is a website that shows cake decorating disasters. I couldn't believe how many grocery store cakes look that bad and people will still buy them.

Here are some of my favorites...

"The mind, it boggles. Is this a frilly white Santa caterpillar, crawling up a red boulder?"


"Sorry, you can't have any"


"We'll wish you luck, but we don't have to be happy about it."


"Disaster was narrowly avoided at the Smith household today, when 3-year-old Billy took the instructions on his birthday cake a little too literally."


"Ah, the traditional 'Snake in a Flamenco Dress' turkey - of course.
But where are the castanets?"


"The mom-to-be was having triplets, so they ordered a cake with 'congratulations' written on it three times:
...Nice."

Check it out!

May you all have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!

Spoof of the Week

I went and saw the Twilight movie a while ago, and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't the best movie in the world, but I thought it did a good job of capturing the essence of the book. But, this is the best trailer spoof of it that I've seen.



And here's the original trailer in case you haven't watched it a million times like me.

Muppets/Julie Andrews clips of the week


This is a song from The Sound of Music. Done a little...off pitch. But still good.

This is a song from The King and I. Julie Andrews gets attacked by monsters, but still whistles a happy tune...

Gypsy Jazz Guitar Song of the Week

I just stumbled upon this (ok, I found it on the awesomer, but I didn't want everyone thinking I do nothing but look at that website). This is an incredible Gypsy Jazz Guitar Song of a song in the Nintendo NES Mario 2 game. I hope you enjoy!

Website of the Week

I stumbled upon this website from another website I frequent, though I really can't remember what. It's called "The Awesomer" and it totally lives up to its name. I've found t-shirts, games, cars, action figures, screen shots from upcoming games, shirts, lunch bags, sushi and a ton of other things that I can't even think of right now. Some of my favorite things (besides the spoiler shirt below) are:
Incredibots
Marshall Alexander paper toys
40 Inspirational Speeches (totally worth watching. I wanted to do something great after I watched it)
Silent Film Star Wars
and of course, German Star Trek Commercials

I hope you all enjoy!
