This is a nursery my wife and I made for our son last year. It’s themed in Baby Mario (Yoshi’s Story). Since we are both huge video game fans, we wouldn’t have it any other way. The walls are hand painted by my wife and the stained glass window (which is now hanging in the window) was done by a family friend as a gift. I hope you enjoy them!
The Story:
Long ago, my Great-Grandfather saw what he thought was an airplane crash into the mountains of East Tennessee. He took a 20 minute hike up to the crash site (what would be miles for us nowadays) and found a strange craft in shambles with a few strange critters laying about. He did what any mountain man during that time would do, take one home and can it!
The REAL story:
This is a sculpture handcrafted and painted to look like a creepy critter in a jar. The “fluid” inside is merely water and soda and is completely safe. The lid has been epoxied on to prohibit opening by curious ones as well. It looks completely and genuinely real. Anyone who has ever looked at one of these immediately thinks that it is a real creature. I’ve had many people actually refuse to come near them! The sculpture is super sculpey, aluminum foil inside, black acrylic paint, and rubber cement.
True story – When I worked for a resort I brought this into my office to show my co-workers. I left it in there while I went out for the day. A woman came into the office complaining that her cabin had lots of lady bugs, was dirty, had wasps coming in the house, etc. One of the office personnel picked the jar up and says – “At least you don’t have one of these!” Yeah…she freaked out.
An awesome rundown of many of the secrets behind the Metroid series. It’s a must-watch for any Metroid Franchise fan.

You might think this is a joke at first glance, but there is a 5K run event coming to a city near you where – get this – you get to run an obstacle course while being chased by zombies. Not real ones of course, because the last thing on your mind would be running to win prizes handed out to the winners. It goes like this, participants will run an obstacle course while wearing ribbons on their shirt. They will be chased by volunteer zombies who will be trying to take the ribbons that represent your “life”. The ones who finish the race with their ribbons are the winners. Think of it as training for that zombie apocalypse you’ve actually been hoping for. It’s about the closest thing to being chased by real zombies and it’s a perfect excuse to actually get off your butt and go see what outdoor activity is really like.
