I Want a Slice of this Amazingly Freaky Dead Tauntaun Wedding Cake [Star Wars]

I’ve seen plenty of nerdy geeky freaky cakes in my life, mostly Star Wars-related: R2-D2, the Death Star, the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader, and pregnant Darth Vader. This dead tauntaun wedding cake, however, is just sick. And I love it.

Look at that detail! This is so gross, yet so damn cool. If I ever get married again, I would only do it to get a frikkin’ freakierer cake than this. Like, instead of a tauntaun, it would be a giant hairless albino monkey with Ringo Starr’s face, and… and his guts would be snakes with the faces of Yoko Ono and Margaret Thatcher and Sarah Palin and Madonna, and instead of Luke it would be David Bowie wearing Princess Leia’s metal bikini.

There. I grossed myself out. [Star Wars Blog]

Drop The Knife, The Tauntaun Sleeping Bag Is Now Real [Star Wars]

Thanks to Lucasfilm’s nod of approval, ThinkGeek’s got a treat for every Jedi’s snuggly-wuggly-cuddly-just-ten-more-minutes-please-mom side. I wanna throw a sleepover to have an excuse to roll out lotsa these Tauntaun sleeping bags which “simulate the warmth of a Tauntaun carcass.”

It started out as an April Fools joke, but as it happens with most of ThinkGeek’s pranks: People wanted the real thing. So after some pleading with Lucasfilm, ThinkGeek got the blessings needed to bring us this Tauntaun sleeping bag complete with a lightsaber zipper pull. And whether it mimics that Tauntaun smell or not, I’d definitely rather spend $100 on this sleeping bag than try to make my own. [ThinkGeek —Thanks, Nat!]
