Behold the march of progress! Once, s'mores were but a dream in the soul of primitive man. Now, thanks to Jasmin Fine, you can find them inside and around whole strawberries.
Jasmin stuffed the hollowed out strawberries with graham cracker crumbs and rolled the outside in more graham cracker crumbs. Then she dipped the strawberries in chocolate, spooned marshmallow on them and toasted them over an open flame.

In this impressive, high quality production, trials bike champion Danny MacAskill recreates a young boy's obstacle course made of toys. You can find behind-the-scenes information about this perfectly staged video at the link.
Content warning: there's some foul language at the end of the video. At least, I think there is. It's hard for me to understand the woman's accent.

Macho, Rex, Maya, Dave, Bella, and George all come when their names are called. Twiggy, the cat, couldn't care less, as cats will. All the animals are from shelters or rescue groups. -via Tastefully Offensive
A handsome cat reacts to the sound of a tape measure retracting. There is no other information with this video, but you can almost imagine that the cat is imitating the gadget. "Hey, I can stick it out and retract, too!" And he certainly has the long tongue to show off! -via Arbroath
Dorothy Baker-Flugence of Baytown, Texas and two of her children were in her van when a carjacker appeared in the backseat. He threatened them with a knife. Mrs. Baker-Flugence said, "You messed with the wrong witch*" and went into action:
"She got the knife," Flugence said. "She got a cut that goes across her chest. She grabbed the knife and he bit her hand."
Police say the woman ran her van intentionally off the road trying to disorient the attacker. She was hoping that a 911 dispatcher would hear what was going on, and find a way to sent help. But when she saw a telephone pole, she sped up and targeted it, feeling it was a risk she had to take.
"I thought, 'If you swerve and hit the pole, he's not wearing a seatbelt, he'll go through the windshield or at least hit his head, and you can stop him. You can do something to make sure that he doesn't hurt your kids,'" Dorothy Baker-Flugence said. "That's all I was thinking of really, was just to get him away from my kids."
Police add that Baker-Flugence punched the man in the face and when she stopped, he jumped out of the vehicle. That's when she reportedly turned the tables and ran over him.
That's the way we do it in Texas.

I got the drinks like Jabba...I got the driiiiinks like Jabba. Oh, and the cookies that look like Han Solo in carbonite. Of course, if anyone ever tells you they love this coffee break treat, you can only respond by saying, "I know."
Redditor bluesberry's mother ordered a graduation cake. She said something to the effect of "put a cap on her head." And apparently they heard that just a little wrong. Still, the finished product is a work of art! Link
It's an exciting day at the cricket field! Or are we playing rounders? I'm not sure. Like a lot of Americans, I find these sports really confusing.
What would a British rounders television commentator make of baseball? Here's an interpretation of a Red Sox/Yankees game by the comedy troupe The Exploding Heads.

I can't think of a better concept for a retirement party cake than one that illustrates the final Calvin and Hobbes strip. Keira's Cakes of Glasgow, UK made this cake showing the two friends riding off to new adventures. You can see more photos of it at the link.
