Lil’ Baird and I will be making some cookies for Santa this week along with a gingerbread house or too…so I thought I’d pop on the internets for inspiration.  I don’t think we are quite ready to tackle these yet, but I thought I’d share anyway.  Nerds, gotta love us!

and since I’ve been recently converted to a Dr. Who fan…

Eat up!

Thank you Think Geek…thank you!

Note to Better Half – I expect to see this in my stocking

You could also make this yourself (and with bacon no less…just sayin’)

Three videos I’ve seen in the last few days that I had to share.

First, this Playstation commercial…

Video game characters extoiling the virtues of their player, who just happens to share MY first name…just sayin’.  I’ve been a fan of their recent campaigns but this spot is really clever.

Next…

I’ve watched this about 20 times already.  Stark and Cap, Stark and Banner, Hawkeye snapping his bow, Fury…I so much want the Avengers to rock!!  (Ed. Note – Sick all week at home so I finally got to see Thor, thought it was really good.)

And finally…

I know this has been all over the interwebs already, but it just makes me smile. I remember when I first saw Empire and what a big moment the reveal was…I hope that when Lil’ and I finally watch these movies together that she has that same reaction.

Hope everyone is having a great night!

So I found this shirt the other day on TheYetee.com…

It was their daily deal for just 10 bones.  I was totally going to get it but I was a day late to the party.  Luckily I clicked the link and it took me to RedBubble where the shirt was on sale there!  YEAH! (but the price was now $23.94, BOO!)

I hadn’t been on the RedBubble for a while so I thought I’d look around a bit…drop “bacon” in the search…

WINNER! For those with old eyes, it says “Bacon is what?!?”  It’s funny cause the pig is eating bacon and then finds out that bacon comes from pigs…get it…

Then I see a thumbnail for this…

Awe-to-the-some.  Mashin’ up my first love Star Wars with my new favorite thing, Dr. Who!  KA-POW baby, nerd explosion!

So three shirts, $75.00.  What recession?

Shhhhhh, don’t tell Better Half.

PS – Don’t forget to vote for TDB in Detroit’s “Most Valuable Blogger” contest.  You can vote once every day until Sept. 9th!

My new most favorite ice cream (concept) flavor ever…

Dare to dream, dare to dream.

Here is the official TDB review of Comic Con 2011…

First, Sideshow Collectables had several new product announcements which included this:

And that concludes our review of Comic Con 2011.

Seriously, I do not care about anything else!  All the stuff on my nerd blogs this weekend was just noise when I saw this.  This is my holy grail, my white whale!  Ask Better Half, every year for Christmas I ask for ONE thing, Han Solo in Carbonite.

A company called Illusive Concepts had a Lucasfilm license back in 1996-97 and actually made the first commercially produced replica.  At the time I believe it cost close to $2,000. I was but a young lad then, living with the one who would eventually become Better Half, and in NO way could I shed that much for a prop (Never mind the fact that I probably spend more than that on all the other little things I bought for my collection that year).

Well now things have changed!  You could even say the “circle is now complete.” I’m old and I get paid pretty good.  There was no pricing or any other information made available on the Sideshow site but I’ve got a number in my head (so does Better Half, but I’ll bet that number is less than the one I am thinking).

Stay tuned!

I know I promised I was goin’ back to bacon today but then I saw this as I was catchin’ up on my nerd blogs…

Seriously, how can you just not marvel in it’s pink and flowery awesomeness?  The pony even has a Death Star on it’s a$$…tear…

Hope everyone had / is having a great day!

We are away on vacation until July 12th.  Until then, please enjoy these selected “Best Of” posts.  This was originally published on 12/1/2009.

..and I got mine!!!!!

When I arrived home last night, I noticed the welcome mat on my front porch was leaning up over something.  I just assumed that my bi-weekly comic book order had arrived as this was the normal way the UPS guys leaves my packages.  I was half right, my books were delivered but also to my surprise I noticed a much larger box sitting with them.  The box was from ThinkGeek.

Oh boy…it was finally here!

You know you want to see this thing…so follow me after the jump. [Read more →]

Okay, not gonna lie, completely stole that headline…but in my defense you really shouldn’t mess with perfection.

It’s another case of my world’s colliding as the process of making tasty bacon and Star Wars comes together in what seems to be a perfect union…

It’s a smoker with a paint job to appear as everyone’s favorite Astromech (unless you are a R5-D4 fan that is).  Just a wonderful example of nerd ingenuity!

When your done, you can throw all your scraps away in this…

Seriously, being a nerd is awesome!

Okay, so thank to Food Beast for the heads up on the Smoker, Obvious Winner for the trash can pic.

I mean come on…how can you not love it?  Star Wars and pork…these are a few of my fav-vor-ite things…

Thanks That’s Nerdalicious
