It looks cute and tasty, right? But something tells you it is oh so wrong. Something you can't quite put your finger on.

Ok, so.... what the hell is this?

It's deep in our subconscious... Somewhere in the past, someone fed our ancestors these horrid things. I've just discovered the reason why we fear shredded wheat.

"The fisherman was inside the park when he went looking for sugar-apples. The area was forbidden for people to enter as there are a lot of wild dragons," Harum said.

P.S. No stop animation involved in this one.

Delicious and palatable when boiled for 15 minutes after boiling commences, to extract flavor from grains...

Maxwell House this is not.

IZEA Blog Charity Stache Contest Plus The Beards of YouTube

Friday, March 13th, 2009 | 1 Awesome Comment - Where is Yours?

So, running a site like Awesome Mustache means that the Mustachioed wonders of the world flock to my inbox. Sometimes, I get wild out of the blue emails like the Mystery Stache. Sometimes, it's something more organized like the IZEA Blog Mustache Contest:

I just wanted to bring your attention to our current mustache contest. Some of the guys in the office have spent the past few weeks growing their best 'stache and now we've opened it up to the viewing public to vote for their favorite.

It is $1 to vote and all funds raised will go to the winner's charity of choice. We would love it if you could please check it out and let your readers know.

Thanks!

This is a little like the Beard Off episode on Flapjack...

Which brings up another point... What's with all the weird beard shaving videos on YouTube?

Waaaa? That friggin video is 5 minutes long!

Back to the Staches

Anyway, I've got my money on Zappa, but Streetbegger comes in second.

[Thanks, Carri! (I think) ]

For heavens sake! Are you mad??!!

"Don't experiment with an Infant Food.

Give your baby Nestle's Food

upon which the third generation is now thriving."

"upon which the third generation is now thriving"

Seriously, now what does that even mean?

Of course a better question is: will they still honor the free samples offer? I'm kinda hungry for stork.

AFSCME 2.0

You probably saw this nationalized Citibank parody video on Boing Boing, which I lovingly refer to as AFSCME 2.0:

For context, here is the the original AFSCME... Much lol and totally NSFW.

World Builder is a beautiful scifi romance film. The visuals are stunning. Reminded me of what a sap I am.
