A Wizard of Oz Birthday Party

Little Ayla (the Cowardly Lion on the left) was born near Halloween so to help her celebrate in style, her parents threw a Wizard of Oz party complete with a Yellow Brick Road and a full cast of characters. The results are adorable and certainly deserve a long look, if only for inspiration for your own youngster's birthday parties.

Adventure Time: Come On Grab Your Claws

Well, Jake can change into just about any shape, so that makes him a great addition to the X-Men, but I think Logan would be a little too rough on the poor old Ice King. This great creation was done by Cynthia “Thea” Rodgers for a Comics Should Be Good challenge that asked readers to suggest new comic characters for Wolverine to team up with.

That's Some Amazing Doctor Who Cosplay

If you still aren't sure why people geek out over the San Diego Comic Con, it's not just the great cosplay or the fantastic artists or any other individual element of the massive convention. It's pure magic having some of the biggest names in movies and TV come to a convention filled with some of the biggest nerds around and, occassionally even seeing those celebrities geek out as well. 

For example, back in 2011, a group of cosplayers with all eleven Doctors managed to get Karen Gillan and Matt Smith to pose in their photo with them. You can read all about it over on DeviantArt user alternatecoopa's page or just enjoy the end result (the picture) here.

Just Look At That Chin: He Really Is A Superman

Redditor morphinapg created a composite image of all the actors who played Superman and the result really does look pretty darn super. I wouldn't mind if he saved me from a burning building or two, of course, I hope he'd wipe the schmutz off of his forehead first.

Can't Afford A Vacation? Take A Trip On Google Maps

Sometimes time and money conspire against us to ensure that we'll be stuck in the same city no matter how much we need to take a trip. When you feel like you're going to burst out of your skin if you don't get a vacation soon, try heading to Google and visiting a whole world of famous locales with their street view. 

Mental Floss has a great collection of places you can visit thanks to the fantastic tool, including the Colosseum (above). You can also visit the San Diego Zoo and Disneyland, but they just aren't the same without the lively animals and rides.

Woke Up In A Good Mood? Get Grouchy With A Grumppuccino

As one of those people who has a serious addiction to Tard, aka Grumpy Cat, I'm determined to not only buy, but to consume the new Grumpy Cat coffee drinks. The thing is, I hate coffee, so I will be miserable the whole time I drink it. You know what Tard would say about that? "Good."

Belle Solo Is The Ultimate Hero For Little Girls

When I was a youngster, I related with Belle because we both always had our noses in books. I can't even imagine how excited I would have been to see Amy Mebberson's Belle Solo back then. Imagine, a princess hero that's smart, quick-talking, a blaster master and the owner of the fastest ship in the galaxy.

Have You Ever Wondered What The Well From The Ring Tastes Like

When you watch The Ring, you're probably thinking, "gee, I'd love to try some of the water from that well." Well, you're in luck! Japanese burger chain Lotteria has introduced a new milkshake that they claim is flavored after the classic horror flick.

So what does it taste like? Oddly enough, blue lemonade with chocolate hair swirls on the top.

So What Has Maru Been Up To

(Video Link)

It's been a while since we checked in with the internet's favorite happy kitty, so let's see how Maru's doing. Let's see some tail twitching, good. A little attack on the rug, very nice. A failed attempt at jumping and some water exposure...looks great. Yup, he's still up to his usual adorable tricks.

6 Fictional Holidays You Really Should Be Celebrating

Just because you aren’t living in a sitcom or cartoon doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the many stupid fictional holidays celebrated by your favorite fictional families. Here are a few of the many great holidays that have been created by television writers (and one musician) throughout the years that we should actually start celebrating right away.

Refrigerator Day

(Video Link)

What it is: The Dinosaur’s version of a combination between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Refrigerator Day celebrates the dinosaur discovery of a refrigerator, which allowed them to settle down and start families rather than continually roaming in a search for food. To celebrate, the dinosaurs perform a pageant of the first refrigerator day, give gifts to one another, put up festive decorations and enjoy refrigerator carols that are more like commercials for goods and services. Prior to Refrigerator day, everyone is asked to fast for two days.

How to celebrate: We may not be dinosaurs, but we too appreciate the value of a fine refrigerator. Try fasting from refrigerated or frozen foods for two days before the celebration, eating only dehydrated, canned or totally fresh from the farm foods. Since we already have Christmas, don’t go run to the stores to grab expensive presents for your loved ones –instead, give them some great refrigerator artwork or new magnets.

Treat Yo Self Day

(Video Link)

What it is: In Parks and Recreation, only Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle celebrate Treat Yo Self Day, but it sounds delightful. Essentially, once a year the duo treats themselves to clothes, fragrances, massages, mimosas, fine leather goods, Batman costumes or any other thing they so please.

How to celebrate: The key is in the name, my friend. Do something you’ve always wanted to do, despite the cost. Or just splurge on a luxury you tend to deny yourself. Go on a river cruise, enjoy a lobster dinner, pay someone to give you a piggyback all day –whatever you want, just Treat Yo Self.
