Cheer Up You Miserable Bastards. It’s the Gingerbread Man!
These are tough times. Some of the cleverest and most talented people I know have recently found themselves jobless (so what dimwits are running the country then?) and some people are moaning all and sunder, left, right and centre. But it doesn’t have to be like this.
What warms me more than root ginger being rubbed in my eyes is the sight of a Gingerbread Man. Never mind Frankenstein, you can make this cute little monster yourself and you don’t need 3D animation software, knitting needles or felt tip pens. A baking tray will do.
Hardyesque.
This one is old, animated and engaged in labour. But he’s still cute.
Yes, your generic Christmas Gingerbread Man.
This one is made of shiny cloth and his smile is a little uneasy. Is he less cute for it though?
What do you think?





You know, I wish that I liked ginger bread men. I feel as though I should, they do look good and all, but… I don’t really like ginger and they’re just not sweet enough. That’s the fatal flaw of the gingerbread man – ginger.
I’m big into ginger, I must say and I don’t really like sweet things so that might explain why I like them. What I really like about them is their face though and the face must be one of two things:
1. Really happy
2. Or really cross (like an angry wasp).
Ah, but which bit do you eat first? The head (for a swift, relatively painless demise), the legs (so he can’t get away), or the arms (so he can’t fight back)??
If it’s the generic xmas one, his hat, obviously.
I suppose it would be inappropriate to bite him between the legs. Not without nibbling his ear first I guess.
i luv the ginger bread man with the blue polka dot backround!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =]
