Easter is high atop the list of holidays I don’t celebrate, but I do love the yearly reemergence of Cadbury Creme Eggs. This image comes from an online game Cadbury launched this season (it needs to me aimed at my mouth).
Amazing:
From Bob Doucette:
Lovely little bunnies from Ron English:
I spotted this rabbit on speed in a grocery store (note the oddly placed block of cheese next to him. Did he steal it in an amphetamine rampage?):
A bunch of bunnies by Frijol Boy:
This one’s a meat eater:
And this one is…like me:
Two by Nicoletta Ceccoli:
Double sweetness:
This is what you will dream after too much Easter candy:
No comments necessary.
Just a happy day in the garden…
Not sure I understand what they were going for with this military theme.
Love the Easter Witch!
And here’s a bit of nostalgia…
I feel awkward looking at this:
HAREdo! Get it? Get it?
Happy Easter…we’re halfway to Halloween!

I know I just did a desktop goodies post, but I didn’t even post a fraction of the images cluttering up my screen. Every few days I move them to the traveling museum that is my external hard drive, but they pile up fast for an info junkie like me.
Stunned Cactus Head Jesus invites you in…
Taxidermy just looks so classy when it’s well done.
This gives me an idea: misanthrope motivational posters!
No idea:
Yes, I generally keep five or six of these in my room at any given time.
This sculpture is bloody brilliant:
I’ll take this job!
What a valiant image!
Remember this, fellow 80’s children?
*Sigh* Yes, I’ve been hearing this from relatives since I was about 18:
And I’ll end with a photo I find breathtaking…

(But in my case, 2011 has certainly tried so far!)Brings new meaning to the phrase “my better half:”
…and new meaning to “a meeting of minds:”
I should definitely do this with my hip-length hair. Now, how to craft a faucet accessory…
Mystery solved!
Best typo of the month…and top of my destination list if it’s true. Where do heavy meals line the urban roadsides? Bring me to the land of meatloaf trees and pizza flowers!
I’d also like to go to this coffee shop:
Best cake inscription of the month:
Happy birthday! “Rats off to you!” (You know this sickly looking thing has red velvet cake innards)
Or for another unique birthday idea (not recommended):
I want one of these.
I find this photo incredibly haunting.
I love this image.

My apologies to vegetarians for this one, but it’s too spectacular to pass up. Burgers Here and There is on a mission to adorn and transform a typical burger into 192 cultural representations (one for each country recognized by the UN).
The project began as a way for the author/chef to introduce her father to new flavors in a “non-scary” fashion. The result is truly impressive. Cultural research goes into each recipe, all ingredients are purchased at local grocery stores (rather than specialty ethnic markets) for easy accessibility, and all garnishes and toppings (often including the bread or bun) are made from scratch.
Each recipe for the meat and extras is explained in detail. You will learn a great deal from this wonderful blog!
Even if you don’t choose to recreate the burgers, you must appreciate the dedication and extensive effort behind these recipes. Bravo!

A momentary glance from the corner of my eye had me believing this was a device designed specifically to shoot cheese balls into one’s mouth.
Sadly, it’s just for ping pong.
What a disappointment.

These chocolate nails by Stephane Bureaux should be mass produced for all dessert construction and decorative needs.

I hadn’t planned to commemorate Groundhog Day (arguably our most ludicrous holiday in the US). But I got carried away with some absurdities I can’t help sharing.
Let’s start with some groundhog art.
Eeeeeevil…
My favorite:
There were a number of groundhog mascot outfits.
This one looks like he’s being held up by the cops:
I can’t quite explain why I find these photos so entertaining. Maybe it’s the unflattering angles…maybe the logo…
I’ve heard rumors that the neighborhood groundhogs don’t trust this guy:
…or this adorable decoy.
I was rather surprised by the culinary representations of the groundhog.
Most cakes and cupcakes appear unnerved, unhappy or otherwise deranged.
I would NOT disturb this one…
I’m not sure this technically IS a groundhog, but the photo was titled “groundhog-plus.”
I really hope the person who made this has a terrific story behind it, or feels a special connection with the animal. That’s the only way I can justify its existence.
A moment frozen in taxidermy.
YESSSSSS…

Well, this is certain perfect for my Candy Coated Nightmares tag! Jennifer Rubell created this fine installation: a padded cell lined with cotton candy.
“[A] Padded cell is an 8’X16’ freestanding room constructed of basic building materials, with a single door that contains a plexiglass window. Inside, the walls and ceiling are padded with pink cotton candy, and a bare light bulb hangs in the center. The door is opened at 9pm, but the interior is visible through the window throughout the evening.”
She goes on to describe it as “an all-American funhouse that is at the same time confining, threatening, claustrophobic. It is an object that addresses the dark side of pleasure, the price of pleasure, the possibility that pleasure is its own punishment. Approximately 1,600 cones of cotton candy are used in its construction.”

The art of cake making has really taken off in the past few years, elevating a simple confection to a work of intricate sculpture.
Cookieboy works on a smaller scale; humble shapes of dough are his tiny canvas.
The only problem with these cookies is that I’d almost feel guilty eating them…like I’m destroying hard work.
