National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) – Adult Time

adult, nablopomo2012 | November 1, 2012 | By

It’s November yet again and  that means the blogging challenge to post every day for 30 days.

In the past, I have used it as a chance to run a theme month.

Last year was a drawing challenge prompt sheet. 2010 bought a bunch of weird food-related stuff. 2009 was all about gaming. And 2008 was quirky art over on Quirky Jessi. Yeah, I’ve been doing NaBloPoMo for a while.

This year, the theme is going to be “adult.” I have been toying with the idea of having a side site for quirky food that didn’t fit my PG-13 rule here. Namely, there is a lot  of alcohol-related quirkiness that is sent my way, but because I want kids to be able to see this site, I don’t post it.

I don’t have the time to keep up with the sites I have, though, much less start another one, so I’m bending my own rules this month. I’ll still be avoiding content that wouldn’t be safe for work but if you tend to share ideas from my posts with your kids, this month will be the time to go back through the archives. Enjoy!

Zombie food critics (Wordless Wednesday)

Halloween, humor, Wordless Wednesday | October 31, 2012 | By

Cartoon from Spud Comics. Two zombies are sitting at the table with brains on their plates. One says "Blecchh! This guy must have been stupid!" The caption says "Food Critic."

Happy Halloween!

If you’re ever invited to a Halloween luau party…

Reminder that this year’s NaBloPoMo theme on Quirky Cookery is “adults.” Content may not be appropriate for kids.

Pineapple carved to look like a zombie face with a laffy taffy candy tonue and jam blood.

Then obviously this zombie pineapple is the perfect hostess gift. Or maybe it would be your +1?

If you want some closeups of the teeth and tongue, definitely click here. Oh, and the eyes, too. Crepy! The eyes don’t appear to be edible and neither is the flower, that I know of, by the rest is. The tongue is actually laffy taffy candy and the “blood” is blackberry jam. Cool, isn’t it?
