Those birds are farking horrific. Here's a photo one of the warning signs alluded to in previous comments, captured while on a trip to Australia:

Awesome. Don't forget the Padme Skywalker figure.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Amazing Star Wars cakes were a phenomenon on the internet tubes long before Ace of Cakes ever got a hold of the idea.

Here's one that was profiled on BoingBoing and the front page of Digg:

I think everyone has the wrong idea. I don't think Janeane Garofalo's casting has anything at all to do with her politics. I think they just need a comic foil on that show to mitigate the unrelenting stream of ridiculous plots, situations, and dialogue.

Here's my full take... let me know what you think:

Ah, yes, Uncle John's bathroom reader. The copy in my bathroom has many a dog-eared page.

Along the same lines... why wouldn't you couple your stay in a strange-and-unusual hotel with a visit to a strange-and-unusual theme park?

Now if it were a giant, paper SAILboat... then I'd really be impressed.

I'd love to apply this "airbrushing" technology you speak of to my errant fourth nipple in several photographs. The third one... I don't mind so much.

Awesome. That's almost as useful as my swing-in-a-fanny-pack.

So, wait, what's the target audience for this thing?

Ha, ha, just kidding... it's crack addicts.

1) We only need about a million Hu Shulins and we can rid the world of pesticides.

2) "...the chamber is like a nightclub for flies, where they party themselves to death." That sounds like the intro to a Dateline NBC story.

Unfortunately, the instructions start with, "You'll need some jeweler's modeling wax." Right. I think I keep that in my junk drawer next to the diamond cutter and the flux capacitor.

15 minutes? All that means is that the Thai children need to work faster. Faster, I say! Daddy needs his dungarees!

Ok, so it's cool. Even though it's not G1 Optimus.

That was really cool of those guys. Know what would have been cooler? A restoration of any car besides a Lotus Esprit.

How about a nice peach scent. Yeah. I think I'd like my poo water to smell like peaches.
