I rarely find myself eating with chopsticks, but these sets of Alien chopsticks make me want to start.

Yep, we know I have an odd penchant for Predator creations. So now I bring you LEGO Predator!

Let me preface this by saying I have not had Internet for four days due to Hurricane Irene. My entire town and surrounding areas are still without it and we don’t know when it (or other media/communications) will be restored. I feel VERY lucky to have electricity right now. I drove to the closest place I could find to get online for a moment, and will try to do so again as soon as possible. In the meantime…
This made my day, because outside of saying it myself I’ve never seen the phrase “Zoologically incorrect”…and it’s a favorite.
Peeeeeeek-a-Boooooo!
Another unsettling Peek-a-Boo:
Think about this next time someone uses the fine colloquialism “He/she’ll have my head on a platter!”
This actually got printed:
You might be living in an insane, surrealist dictatorship if your “Dear Leader” is plastered on boxes of tongue scrapers…and walks by to inspect them for quality.
Awww…
Go ahead Betty…one Business Casual Angel Donut won’t hurt…
Yep.
The comic panel of my life (books rule!):
The female of this species probably takes a ages doing her makeup in the morning.
And speaking of other species…we will never be as awesome as this guy…
I’ll leave you with this, folks…

I rarely have the slightest interest in or awareness of what’s going on in the world of high fashion, but I make brief and rare exceptions to enjoy the anatomical and sci-fi inspired designs of Alexander McQueen.
For example, these Giger-esque Alien shoes:
I know, these are SO last season. They come in a variety of colors (I don’t understand why blue and white would be among them). In my opinion nothing beats the classic “metal” pictured above, save for maybe a glossy black version, more true to Alien form.
I would also like to accessorize with the previously mentioned Alien Pez Dispenser.

Since yesterday’s post was in honor of my late mother, this one goes out to my father who introduced me to legions of fantastic monsters, aliens, villains and robots.
Last time I visited him in LA we enjoyed some Ray Harryhausen. Here’s a complication of stop-motion animated goodness from the master himself.
Dad, you know I think of you fondly whenever I see something explode, zoom through space, rise from the grave or battle.
Precious moments. 🙂

Okay, okay…this has been going around the web quite a bit, but folks who don’t subscribe to hundreds of art blogs like I do might not have seen them.
Jonathan Koshi has a series of prints featuring pop culture icons in Day of the Dead fashion.
Favorite (of course):

I am not a Star Wars geek by any stretch of imagination…but I have to admit this cookie jar is awesome.
Death Star Cookie Jar almost sounds like a band name.
You can order one here.

The holidays had some unexpected challenges in store for me this year (including hospitalized family, and what may be the largest data loss of my entire electronic life, if my paid backup service fails me). I’m trying to stay positive, so instead of lamenting anything quite yet, I’ll simply go ahead and give you a belated Christmas collection of links I had marked.
Incredible paper cut snowflakes
Amazing Galaxy Science Fiction Christmas covers
A great collection of gingerbread creations
Simon’s Cat: Santa Claws (I had the pleasure of watching two new cats “discover” a Christmas tree this year…this video pretty much captures it all):
I hope you all had fantastic holidays…whatever and however you celebrate!

I haven’t posted the series of sci-fi inspired snowflake designs currently circulating around the Web, because they are showing up everywhere. However, in accordance with my odd penchant for Predator inspired items, I can’t neglect this one:
