Bizarradore Mash-Up Day

Blog, I am sitting here at home waiting for Milwaukee Water Works to shut off the water main, so Bobby the Plumber can repair our broken water valve.  In the meantime, no H2O.  I can think of no better way to cheer myself up than to combine the awesome concepts of bizarradore and mash-up, making an even more awesome concept, the Bizarradore Mash-up!

First up, let's combine Easter Island Heads (which are endlessly entertaining)

with eclipses!


No, not THAT kind of eclipse.  I mean when the moon blocks the sun and stuff.  Resulting mash-up:


This gorgeous photo brought to you by Astronomy Picture of the Day.  You should subscribe, it's fantastic!

I feel a little better already, Blog.

Now for a never-fail bizarradore mash-up.  Of course I bizarradore funny pictures of cats.  And likewise, I adore putting stuff on the heads of cats.  So of course life is even better when you have several funny pictures of a cat with stuff on its head!


From the awesome folks at ICanHasCheezburger.  Again, you should read it daily, like Blog and I do.  [ADDENDUM the next day:  For a ridonkulous number of fabulous pictures of this cat with stuff on its head, see this composite. Don't forget to click enlarge if your browser requires it!]

And lastly, what modern artist is more amazing than M.C. Escher...


Meanwhile, what toy is cooler than Legos:


Therefore, your head just might explode from this:


Now that is button.  But wait, there's more!  Let's mash-up the concept above with something even awesomer, like SPACE!  Then the result is this!!!


An Escher-style Lego space station!  It's the work of Alex Eylar aka Profound Whatever, publicized by Lego fans The Brothers Brick, and brought to my attention by the fab blog Great White Snark, which you should read daily for no other reason than that it has one of the coolest blog names ever.  Except of course for you, Blog.

Wow, thanks to the Interwebs, we have had a very day-brightening experience with this Bizarradore Mash-up.  Randometer is happy, Blog is happy, I am happy...and I hope you're a little happier too.

  1. I'm Milwaukee born and bred but can't really sympathize with your lack of water sit.

    I live in Mexico now and we are always prepared for water stoppages. Think garrafons (huge heavy bottles) of purified water, buckets and watering cans on standby for hauling the essential toilet flushing agua from the pond, bottled water for drinking and dirty dishes piling up in the sink until we can safely wash them again. Oh and also lots of Windex for wiping things down in the meantime. And hand sanitizer ...

    I do empathize though. Hope you have potable (but that's a whole other story) water again soon ;-) And I hope you can use some of these tips!
