That’s the extent of my football knowledge.

HOWEVER, one Superbowl tradition I completely get behind is the creation of completely obscene food items.

A new favorite is this collection of edible stadiums.

And this is what you’ll need to deal with Superbowl food:

Next year I’m going to a Superbowl party JUST to make a crazy food creation.

I find these skull designs appealing for their semi-abstract, subtle appearance. Each one is almost like an optical illusion of its own.

This does not only have to be for zombie lovers. This necklace is great for anyone brainy, geeky and/or intuitively linked. The symbolism can be profound.

Thank you, Skye! You are amazing!

How about a few vintage treats to start?

Is the groundhog the instructor, or part of the recipe?

“Nice marmot.”

I’ve learned that anything can be turned into an occasion for beer. Too bad I don’t like beer. Where are the Groundhog Day chocolate parties?

How about a little “art?”

Punxsutawney Phil the Seer of Seers:

King Henry Groundhog (hm?):

How about a painted groundhog tart pan? My goodness, this is depressing.

At least this soap is a bit more cheerful.

This poor guy looks like he’s undergoing an uncomfortable medical procedure.

Colorful…postmodern…

And now for your daily dose of euphemism: the Jolly Groundhog:

Innnnnnnteresting…(I love how this next one is available on “Fine Art America”).

Now this, I really like:

Bloody Groundhog Day:

You better recognize.

And a little taxidermy…

GAH! (The store this comes from is actually pretty great)

His posture is sublime:

The groundhog saw his shadow this morning, so that means six more weeks of…this?

In closing…

Don’t miss the absurd finds on last year’s Groundhog Day post!

Love the movie…love this piece by Teetering Bulb.

Yeah, this is how most of my days start too…

Oh model in your lovely spine dress, I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave…

Great photograph by Helen Warner:

ACTION JEANS! My ACTION SWEATPANTS actually have some of the same properties. Gotta be prepared if a fight breaks out while I’m scouring the Internet for art and reading science books in my room.

With the sheer proliferation of puns in this text, it must be self-aware, right?

On a related note, I’ve posted about vintage parade floats before, but here’s a new favorite:

Skullball Machine!

Speaking of skulls…

I’m not sure what it says about me that I put this image in my “Valentine” folder:

Paint just gets EVERYWHERE…

And while we’re on the subject of art, leave it to Regretsy to design this handy measurement tool for the less desirable side of some artistic personalities:

I’m not a camper, but I want this tent! Makes me want to venture out into the wilderness (which may or may not mean my own backyard).

And I’ll finish off with the desktop dose of confusion; trading cards seen on Agence Eureka.

Mmmm…steak in a can. That’s the good stuff.

So amazing…

See the gallery here.

Though the concept is rather arbitrary (never in all my years of being a bat connoisseur have I seen one with a translucent chest), kids must have loved this thing.

If I hadn’t sworn not to add more clutter to my house until I can get rid of some things, I’d be tracking this guy down on Ebay right now. Every grown woman needs plenty of monsters in the house, right?

And now for a look at Gre-Gory himself:

Does anyone have Gre-Gory? Did you have him as a child? Anyone just dying to get rid of one?

This next photo happened to remind me of my Candy Coated Nightmares entry tag:

Note: There is a surprising shortage of decent “brain sundae” images out there. Please remedy this, Internet.

Bunderful

People withered with age, unflattering nudity, creatures in various stages of decay…and the occasional heads on sticks.
