“This past Christmas Vacation my brothers, sister, myself and my girlfriend built a scale replica of the battle of Helms Deep, from the second book of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Two Towers penned by the late, great, J.R.R. Tolkien.” And it’s made mostly of gummi bears, licorice, and other confections. [via rebecca blood]

I love Wal-Mart. Both of my local Wal-Marts are pretty incredible in the “cleanliness” category–I wonder how this one slipped through the cracks? Actually, it’s not really that dirty, but the “sheer Ramen devastation” and emptied shelves in general is pretty striking. That’s a stocker’s nightmare. Empty shelves mean 1) you’re going to keep losing sales until you fill it again and 2) you’ve got a lot of filling to do. Makes me kind of wistful about the hundreds of nights I spent stocking shelves at the local Kroger.

Here’s a bunch of pictures of tiny foods: A wee salad. A little quail egg. World’s smallest pancake… and cheeseburger. Mini mince pies. And another miniature burger, as seen on tv. Tiniest dill pickle. Really really small frozen yogurt. Fast food (okay, so it’s candy, but at least it’s a full value meal). Tiny cherry pies. A personal watermelon. A tiny crab. A mini omelette. A small bowl of tuna curry. And itty bitty cupcakes.
