Naked Came the Link Dump

December 16th, 2011 by Cobwebs

Edible Thing in a Jar – Some brilliant ideas for desserts and other edibles that look disgustingly like preserved biological specimens.

Yuletide Tales of Horror – Just in time for the holidays, an anthology of spooky Christmas-themed short stories. That is one disturbing-looking Santa on the cover.

Does Whatever a Spider Can – Gallery of spiders with unusual behaviors.

EBPearce – Etsy shop whose entire inventory consists of real beetles dressed as characters from Jurassic Park. Blame it on the Voices has a couple of side-by-side comparisons. I…got nothing.

Skullflake – Tutorial for making paper snowflakes with a skull design.

I’m Okay with This – Amusing riff on those stick-figure “family” decals often seen on car windows.

Bolognese Machiavelli – Short “recipe” with instructions like, “Perhaps, in a dark place without witnesses, the tomato shall meet with the knife.” Heh.

Abbyshot – Purveyor of wonderful (albeit expensive) screen-accurate clothing from movies, TV, and video games. If you’ve ever wanted Neo’s Trench or Martha Jones’ Jacket, this is the place.

Skeleton Apron – Kitchen apron with a cute skeleton print.

Possessions of a Lady – Blog with “an 18th century obsession.” Lots of neat information about period fashion.

    I started squeeing the minute I saw the Dante coat on the Abbyshot page.

    Still geeking out about the edible specimen jars. House or not, we WILL have a Halloween party next year. Those sausage fingers are AWESOME.

    I recall seeing someone somewhere say they got one of the sleeping cat ‘my family’ stickers and surrounded it with hundreds of the little girl stickers.
    I’ve been collecting them ever since so I can do the same.

    The “Bolognese Machiavelli” reminds me of Kafka’s Soup, a series of recipes “by” famous authors (a sequel is out in March). My favorite is Raymond Chandler’s.

    cmp.ly/0 , just for the record.
