World’s largest cupcake

By Alex on July 19, 2009

Cupcakes are always nice. Geeks with a sweet tooth would undoubtedly want a set of these video game cupcakes but I’d take a 100-lb cupcake over ones with Pacman and Mario on them. No idea if a cupcake this size is yummy enough but quantity can trump quality at times.

And who wouldn’t want a piece of a world record too. This massive 1-foot tall, 2-foot wide cupcake created by cakes.com is officially the world’s largest cupcake. It’s on display at the Mall of America in Minneapolis. It’s not just those cheap Cup Keyk-style snack cakes either. It’s filled with 15 lbs of fudge and topped with 60 lbs of icing.

Diabetes, anyone?

Super Mario and Pacman cupcakes

Pacman Cupcakes

Cupcakes are always nice. But give it a bit of geek/gamer twist and they become much nicer. Too nice, in fact, that I’d probably have second thoughts about eating these babies. Check out these super cool game-themed cupcakes featuring all your favorite games from days of yore – Space Invaders, Pacman and Super Mario.

What people didn’t know was that we smuggled guests in Solomon’s Paradise. I think they had as much fun as us legit ones had. Maybe even more?

Finally! Team Sugoi and friends have finally admitted that they were tired and overworked individuals. They have finally humbled themselves and conceded that they are not as “sugoi” as they want to be, that they are only humans (although some would argue that they’re goddesses : P) and that like all mortals, they also need a few days off for some well-deserved R&R. I was in charge of looking for a place and basically make all the arrangements for the trip. Thanks to Flori’s Sex and the Barrio friend, Nina, she found just the perfect sugoi spot (yes, the S spot).

And so they hied their butts off to Solomon’s Paradise, a small resort in Patar, Bolinao, Pangasinan.

Densha Otoko

It’s quite interesting that more often than not geeks and Valentine’s usually just don’t mix. I just don’t know if we here over at Sugoi Stuff are just geeky enough since most of us aren’t single. Still, for those who had a chilly Valentine’s Day, at least some of us can relate to the plight of being geeky and lonely on Valentine’s. But do we really have to rub it in? Hehe.

Who’d want to date an otaku anyway? Let’s face it. Not all otakus can be as sweet and endearing as Densha Otoko. The otaku profile isn’t an interesting prospect for some hot Valentine’s Day/Night escapades, right? Who’d want to be seen a pimply-faced and obese/wafer-thin geek in a baduy get-up, right?

Okay, so enough otaku bashing for now and let’s try to look at some upsides to dating one.

Japanese woman

Honestly, I was a bit shocked with what I read on the Sydney Morning Herald. Despite the fact that we know Japan to produce top-notch adult entertainment, it appears that the Japanese households in general are being less intimate over the years. Some Japanese mommas aren’t getting any love from the poppas. Like the article’s example with this one woman who has not had sex for 20 years. The last time she did it was when Hirohito was still alive.

Could you believe that? The nation that brought us classics like Urotsukidoji and La Blue Girl (with a live-action version nonetheless) and future classics like Maria Ozawa don’t give their moms the level of affection that they deserve.
