Scarydad Project: The Glort

 

IMG_3492Tonight The Morrigan and I show you how to create and cultivate your own Glort. What is a Glort, you ask?

A Glort is a thing you can make with ingredients you probably already have around the house. It eats fingers and is totally evil so there’s lots of fun to be had.

I want this.

want this today

Good evening my friends. Tonight I have been perusing the online marketplace and adding items to the list of things that please me. We begin tonight with The Count. As many of you know, The Count is and has always been one of my favorite Sesame Street characters. I think this little dude would feel right at home on the shelf next to Jason Voorhees and Pee Wee Herman. It would make my kickass lair all the more kickass.

Guest Post: Matt’s Ghost Story

Tonight’s post comes to us from friend and fellow blogger Matt Cashdollar. Matt normally writes about mysterious and frightening things such as technology and automation. In the future when the machines rise up and kill us all, he’ll either be the leader of the resistance or the very reason it happened in the first place. Check out Matt’s blog here.

When I was a kid, my friends and I would go camping in the woods near my
house.  This was when I lived near the Appalachian mountains, in rural
Pennsylvania.  Nearby was “the strip mine” which was an old open pit coal
mine that had been flooded with water and turned into a series of small
ponds and a general garbage dumping area for the county.  We decided to go
camping just off the dirt road next to the strip mine.  Our road didn’t
have a name – it was just called Rural Delivery #1.  We were all poor,
redneck kids.

Tom Waits: Hold On (The song from tonight’s The Walking Dead)

This is the song from the end of tonight’s The Walking Dead. I’ve been meaning to discuss Tom Waits and his brilliance for a while. I guess I need to get around to it. I promise I will soon.

In the meantime, please listen to one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Just a quick post tonight but I wanted to tell you about something.

While we were waiting for the paint to dry on the fairy door, Spawn of Scarydad and I decided to make a little car. I cut out the body and the axles, she chose the paint colors. We both sanded and prepped the parts, and we both painted. Now, in the spirit of anonymity I cannot share these videos with you because unfortunately the little one was not wearing her mask. But I assure you she helped a lot.

It’s almost more rewarding to watch her play with a toy we made together than with one I made for her by myself.

Anyway, just thought you might like to know.

Scarydad Project: Fairy Door

IMG_3458 Hello there my friends. The other day I was thinking and it occurred to me that it’s been too long since I’ve created a portal to another dimension and it was about that time. So, I created a fairy door.

What is a fairy door, you ask?
