Toy Story star Buzz Lightyear‘s classic catchphrase, “To infinity and beyond!” might need some alterations now.  How about, “To infinity and the stewpot!” or “To infinity and a nice tossed salad!”  Why the change to Buzz’s catchphrase?  Well, after 68-year-old retiree and grandfather Clive Williams pulled a Buzz Lightyear-shaped carrot from his garden in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, I can visualize a whole Disney salad crew, from Mickey-shaped croutons to radishes that look like Chip and Dale.

“My wife, Jane, had asked for some carrots from the garden, so I pulled a few out from the soil,”’ said Mr. Williams.  “When I saw this strange vegetable, the resemblance to Buzz Lightyear hit me straight away and I just thought, ‘My gosh!’  I’ve never seen any of the Toy Story films but it was uncanny – it dawned on me immediately.  I ran inside and said to the grandchildren, ‘I’ve got a competition – who can guess which Disney character this is?’  Immediately, they all shouted, ‘Buzz Lightyear!'”

So what’s next?  Well, obviously, you want bread shaped like Walt Disney’s cryogenically-frozen head.  After that?  Maybe some pizza shaped like the heart of Disney, Epcot Center.

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
