When I first saw Stacy of The Birthday Blog's gigantic S'more, I'll admit, I got pretty excited at the prospect of eating a massive marshmallow. But then I realized that Stacy's oversized S'more is actually a clever cake decorating ploy, assembled with a custom-sized, homemade graham cracker, a giant hunk of melted down chocolate, and a white frosted cake. Facade or not, it'll go perfect with your colossal Kit Kat, or your epic Gummi Bear.
Little boy gamers don't care about coffee tables. But when a little boy gamer grows up, he's gotta have some kind of furniture. Like a giant NES coffee table with a fully functionally, giant NES controller. So Matt (grown boy gamer) built one:

Yes, there are endless iPhone apps out there (and some are pretty ingenious). And yes, it does seem like the iPhone can do just about anything (truly... anything!). But the magical device failed a would-be robber last week.

Once you do that you beat the hell out of the person sleeping and push him off the bed into the glue traps making him stuck to the ground.
