I loved the gumball jar so much, I had to make my own! The green one is baby pickle surprise.

thank u for my fav website

Barry is having an art show in Hollywood this weekend. If you’d like to see his candy jars in the flesh, click here for details.


I saw Vasectomy Vern in your book and fell in love. My best friend was getting his vasectomy the same week that I saw it, and I asked the seller to rush it in time for his “No Baby Shower” (the lady who makes them was very sweet and obliged me).

My friend thought it was hilarious.


From Alicia:

After being inspired by the nail polish-enameled pasta platypus necklace, my good friend and I decided to make pasta necklaces for each other for our college graduation, and wear them with our caps and gowns. Here is her gift to me. It is a lovely little number composed of Spiderman shaped pastas, spray paint, assorted jingle bells, Christmas pins and some rhinestones for a touch of class. Thanks for providing inspiration for such a beautiful work.

From Lauren:

I couldn’t resist buying the recently regretsyed Captain Picard doll.

I bought it mainly because it reminded me of the doll made by one of the children on the Enterprise in the episode “The Pegasus” where there is a “Captain Picard Day” held.

Doll is posing with the paused scenes in the episode.

I’m sure you all remember the Thanksgiving Skants dude, who many of you felt should have been the winner of the skants contest.

You may also remember that we started selling a Thanksgiving Skants dude T-shirt and sweatshirt in our Zazzle store a few weeks ago. The sweatshirt had the image printed upside down, to insure he would be properly oriented if you chose to wear the sweatshirt as skants.

As you know, 100% of the money we make selling this sort of thing benefits charity, and the Thanksgiving Skants dude has been a big seller. To thank him for allowing us to use his image in our Zazzle store, we sent him a sweatshirt, and some Thanksgiving Skants dude note cards.

Well, I think you can imagine my excitement today when I tell you that I got a photo from the Thanksgiving Skants dude last night, wearing his own image on his own Thanksgiving Skants dude sweatshirt.

That in and of itself would have been the apex of post-modern meta meme recursive clusterfuckery. But God love him, he took it one step further.

So may I present to you, the Thanksgiving Skants dude in a Thanksgiving Skants dude sweatshirt.

Upside down.

As Skants.
