Nothing Bundt Bigfoot: Yeti Sighted in Hilarious Cake
Posted: May 1, 2015 Filed under: Bigfoot, Cryptozoology, Nerd HQ | Tags: Bigfoot Bundt Cake, Sasquatch Bundt Cake, Yeti Cake Leave a commentNow ya’ll know how much I love a Bigfoot cake. Now there’s a brilliant new twist on the genre: the Yeti Bundt cake! You slice a seemingly boring cake open to reveal the secret Sasquatch within. Now let’s be clear – it’s no Biggie and Nessie cake. But it’s pretty damn cool.
Bigfoot-flavored — it tastes like blueberries and blurry camera work.

You can see the resemblance below:
Note the identical glassy eyes and itchy trigger finger.

Your Day in Oddness: The Mysterious Death of Nikola Tesla
Posted: January 7, 2015 Filed under: Miscellaneous, Nerd HQ | Tags: Death Ray, Nikola Tesla, Tunguska 2 CommentsOn this day in 1943, genius inventor Nikola Tesla died alone and penniless in a New York City hotel room. Immediately after his death, all of his scientific papers vanished. These papers contained information about a “Death Ray” that was designed for military purposes. Tesla, who had been working this invention for years, claimed it was capable of destroying 10,000 enemy airplanes at a distance of 250 miles. It has long been rumored that the infamous Tunguska blast of 1908 – which leveled several miles of forest in Siberia – was caused by an accidental transmission of Tesla’s Death Ray.
Oooopsie!

Killing Bigfoot This Friday
Posted: October 21, 2014 Filed under: Bigfoot, Bizarre, Cryptozoology, Nerd HQ | Tags: Bigfoot, GCBRO, Killing Bigfoot Leave a commentA new cryptozoology documentary airs this Friday, Oct. 24, on the Destination America cable network. Set in Texas and Louisiana, the show follows the hunters/trackers of the Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization (GCBRO) as they scour the woods for a Yeti to shoot. That sounds heartless, but their premise is that they are basically paranormal exterminators who are only out to kill “nuisance” Sasquatches.
Depending on their definition of “nuisance”, I fully support this.

Weirdo Book Club: Poor Man’s Paranormal
Posted: October 19, 2014 Filed under: Bizarre, Ghosts, Nerd HQ | Tags: Poor Man's Paranormal Manual Leave a commentThe Poor Man’s Paranormal is a guide featuring instructions on how to turn common household items into handy-dandy ghost-busting equipment. Written for the “paranormal MacGyver”, this manual claims to be able to show you how to:
- Use a flashlight to communicate with the dead,
- Create a “ghost trap” using a jar and aluminum foil,
- Use a necklace to tap into your psychic abilities, and
- Communicate with the Beyond using only toilet paper, flour, balloons, and a wristwatch.
I honestly want to buy this just to see how the balloons come into play.
New Mexico UFO Conference – Oct. 4, 2014
Posted: September 12, 2014 Filed under: Bizarre, Nerd HQ, UFOs | Tags: APICON 2014, New Mexico UFO Conference 2014 Leave a commentThe 2014 New Mexico UFO Conference will be held in Rio Rancho, NM next month. Not only does it feature some pretty awesome UFO-book authors as speakers, the evening will end with an after-dark field trip to a “secret” air base near Albuquerque to witness mysterious test flights. Not sure how secret the Manzano-Sandia testing facility can be if I know about it, but I still want to go. 🙂
New Mexico: Come for the Hatch chilies, stay for the UFO lectures.
My UFO Story: AKA Comet 289
Posted: September 4, 2014 Filed under: Nerd HQ, UFOs | Tags: Blaze DestinyBoom, Comet 289/Blanpain, UFO Leave a commentI was in my backyard last Thursday night (08/28/14) wrangling dogs, when I saw the proverbial “lights in the sky.” At first, I thought it was the moon until I realized that the moon was shining in the sky behind me. I was standing there in the dark, completely transfixed by this thin crescent of light glowing against the night sky. Suddenly, it shrank down into a single orb of intense light and… vanished.
I stood there for a full minute afterward, completely unnerved and wondering if I had just had my first UFO sighting. I was half stoked and half freaked out.
Tragically – for me, at least – there is evidence that what I witnessed was most likely the perihelion of a rare comet called Comet 289/Blanpain. Which is pretty disappointing. If you’re going to witness a mysterious comet, you’re really hoping it will be named something more dramatic, like Frankenstein Thunderhammer or Blaze Destiny’Boom. *Sigh*
Professor Frink: “That comet is headed straight for us, with the fire and the impact and the 100% chance of pain… pain in the glavin!”
Note: Blaze Destiny’Boom is officially now my stripper name.
