Yep, this edible beauty is an octopus pizza and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Instructables user donedirtcheap created this mouthwateringly awesome “Octopizza Pie” and then took the time to provide step-by-step instructions so we can all make our own cephalopod pizzas.

We would just add one little detail: surely the best way to eat such a tentacular pizza is while wearing Finger Tentacles.

It was around this time last year that Maika, co-editor of the Geyser of Awesome, created her first Cthulhumas tree using a bunch of our Chtulhu tentacles, blue string lights, silver garland, a plush Cthulhu, and just the right amount of eldritch chanting. 

Knowing the Great Old Ones would be expecting a tribute at least as nice as last year’s effort, Maika created a second Cthulhumas tree this year, building on the original design with the addition of more lights, three dozen Finger Tentacles, and some Terrified B-Movie Victims. 

Don’t leave small pets or children alone around this tree. Those frightened little figures won’t satisfy it for long. 

Merry Cthulhumas one and all. May the Elder Gods continue to sleep soundly.

The Coney Island Mermaid Parade takes place every year in Coney Island, New York in mid-to-late June. The Parade is a lively and welcoming ocean-themed event open to everyone. 

The Mermaid Parade is held in celebration of the beginning of the summer season, and so it traditionally takes place on the Saturday closest to the calendar start of summer, regardless of the weather. 

The tradition of the Coney Island Mermaid Parade began in 1983, when the first event of this kind was conceptualized and organized by Dick Zigun, who is sometimes dubbed the “Mayor of Coney Island”, and who was the founder of the non-profit arts group Coney Island USA.

Bonus awesome points for the use of our Finger Tentacles!

We were thrilled to run across this awesome Octopus series of photos created by Seattle-based photographer Jessica Walker and model Velocity, who put our Finger Tentacles and Tentacle Mustache to very good use.
