THE PACIFIER
March 25, 2013 He can stop a man in his tracks at fifty feet.
He once froze time ... with his eyebrows.
Children fear him. Scientists love him.
He IS...
THE PACIFIER:
;)
Er ... Excuse me, Mr. Pacifier? Would you mind looking this way at the camera?
;)
Perfect. Thanks.
Thanks to Vicky G. for forever associating pacifiers with blobfish in all our minds. Ug. Aren't you glad babies can't read? And that you're not eating anything right now? (Oh, you ARE? Oops. MY BAD.)

Drop it by baby, with a large plop
One look at this, and crying will stop

That lucky baby -- it makes ME bawl!
What is that thing? Are you sure this is a cake? Surely the chain is plastic. And probably all the purple stuff... not very welcoming!
I really should not have picked oatmeal for my breakfast this morning...
Well, I AM eating, and nauseous... ugh... I had a feeling when I loaded the page though :P
Time-freezing eyebrows

I refuse to believe the two pictures are of the same thing.
What a spectacularly ugly cake. I mean baby. I mean cake.
If a person had their mind in the gutter, it could possible look slightly obscene in a sort of yucky sort of way. I
Jen . . . is it . . . slavering?
I mean, was his . . . its . . . skull removed?
That fish looks very sad to me, how about this one instead?

This is a very old ad for a supermarket, but it still makes me laugh.
I've been reading this blog since 2010 and I still don't have enough sense not to be eating when I load the page...
That little piece of slimy drool in the corner of his mouth really adds a nice touch to the over-all effect. UGH!
Hmm - even with squinting, I'm unable to "see" the evil eyebrow being in the first cake. The more important question is - is that truly an actual FISH in the second photo? I just googled "blobfish" and found this insightful and educational comment: "the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water".
I also do not see any resemblance between the two pictures. The eyes in the second one, or at least the indentation for them which should be visible from above, are not apparent in the first and the purple of the pacifier is completely missing in the background of the disGRUNTled fishface.
I was just shoveling a spoonful of blackberry yogurt into my mouth. Perfect.
The "pacifier" looks like a top view of the aliens from Star Trek, The Menagerie,
The second photo is an actual Blobfish, not a different view of the cake! I was confused for a minute myself.
And aside from that, I don't understand the whole point of the cake in the first place.
Why... what... who... I don't even... whaaaaa?
I'd actually eat blobfish before I'd eat that cake.
Yerk.
aw...it looks so sad.
Holy Moly!!! I could have gone a lifetime without that fishy thing in my mind....ewwww. The pacifier is rather brainish itself.
Ew.
Just Ew.
So...it's not a ring pop? With a face? I'm just so confused...
Well, I wasn't eating....but I AM pregnant. Now I know what I won't be getting for this baby.
That just brought on some nausea. Ugh.
What the holy hell...????
Yeah, finally something to break the toddler's paci habit! Except, why "Welcome" a toddler?
Well, I WAS eating. Eww.
The blob cake looks just like the fish in Men in Black 3 (fish on the grill)
That is not a cake for welcoming little Lilem into the world. It is part of an anti pacifier public service announcement.
I was reading this post with my friend, and her reaction was, "Eww, that's horrible!" I quite agree. (Even if the blobfish picture did make me laugh.)
At least it wasn't a baby or pregnant belly. I mean, if you're trying to look on the bright side....
The blinged-out gold anchor chain is a nice touch... O_o
Sharyn and Haiku joy bwahahhaa the cake and fish D:
Yay! Sharyn's baaaaaaack!!!!
As for the pacifier blob cake? I don't think I even wanna know the back story on that one...
@Haiku Joy ~ How's the baby makin' business? <gigglesnort>
Gee thanks, I didn't know about blobfish: thanks for expanding my world, again. :p
I can definitely see the resemblance.
I think if you're very, very bad, you come back as a blobfish, then get caught in a fishing net and have your photo posted all over the internet.
Ok, ok, WHAT is it about Haiku Joy and babymaking?! I just caught up after being 'gone' most of last week with a sick kid (minor fever/cold - he's ok now), and I read Friday's post & Haiku's comment about making 5 babies & they're in the cupboard or on the counter drying out - Are you hosting a baby shower or something?!
And it's probably too late, but I'm heading for the Bunker - "that 2nd picture is a *not* a cake, it's a blobfish"...Uh..THEARDARE DON'T CARE! Do NOT question the WRECKS!!! (Craig, did ya disable the bunker PA system yet?! Re-engineer your Reverse UnSee machine to UnSee us if needed? I'll bring the earplugs - max strength! Hubby smuggled them out of Area 51! :-)
@Sharyn, glad you're not discombobulated this week! :-) And ps, I can't do parodies, even if there is no time limit. I *can* do Haiku, now that I've finally figured out how to count syllables. (Doesn't mean I'm any good at it. I have auditory processing disorder...took me forever to 'hear' when one syllable stops & another starts. I still can't hear "accented" syllables - I just had to guess on the tests.)
@Becky...or it could be an aerlal view of a "face plant" by same...from the neck up.
@Jodee, formerly Jodee in WA - "A rose by any other name..." Wait, shouldn't Craig be quoting that? Just sayin'... <grin>
Bwahahaha!!! Bravo, Haiku Joy!!!! :)
So, no reference to "Larry Boy and the Angry Eyebrows"? http://images.spill.com/amg/dvd/cov150/drt300/t312/t31227iffzd.jpg Guess I'm the only VeggieTales watcher, huh? LOL
Do NOT--for the love of all that is good and right in the world--Google blobfish! The picture of a blobfish floating in the water...I...it just...worse than this one...ACK! There will be nightmares.
@Haiku Joy - As Emily Letella would say, "Never mind!" :-) I found your original post from last week. Did you make artistic use of the injury you inflicted on said mold? Also, as someone with a B.S. in microbiology, I have to tell you, my 1st thought was "Mold?! How the heck did fungus get into the fondant?! And WHY did she still use it?! That's just *gross*!" :-) (You also know what B.S. really stands for here in Texas, right? I have an M.S. too, but I never quite made it to Piled high and Deep, though I tried... :-)
Funny thing is...I am eating right now.
...and I'm still finishing this toaster strudel. Strong stomach I guess? ^^
Thanks to the Tumblr known as "WTF, Evolution?" I was already familiar with the blobfish. And it makes me feel much better about my nose. (We will not discuss the picture of me as a 2-year-old with a pacifier in my mouth and one hanging off of each big toe. That it exists is more than enough.)
Well luckily I wasn't eating but what the heck is that thing.. it looks like it is smiling at me lol. I am concerned it is waiting for me to fall asleep and eat me.
@KarateLady ~ I just love you <3
19 babies of 4 different skin tones all drying out in the cupboard. Anyone know how to make olive-tannish fondant?
It really is a fish? That would make more sense, still ugly.
welcome back, KarateLady ;)
HakiuJoy- "olive tannish fondant" is grosser than a blobfish!!
