ShyOne Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Just look what happens! Thought those of you who liked last year's gingerbread Heavy Sixer might enjoy seeing what happens to one when you leave it outside in a rainstorm ... Some before and after shots ... It ended up out there because, since it actually was edible, some of our many-legged friends had decided to do just that ... ewww ... Enjoy.

ATARIeric Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 ewwwww how much time was invested in making that giant cookie/brownie cake ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyOne Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 how much time was invested in making that giant cookie/brownie cake ? Eh ... I probably spent a couple days on it, all in all. And your comment makes me realize that nothing about these pics gives any idea what the scale on the thing is. It's (well, it was, anyway ...) just a bit smaller than actual size, for anyone who's curious. I probably should have used some food shellac or polyurethane on it, or we should have shrink wrapped it or something, but it's live 'n learn, I guess ... Oh, well ... was cool for the year it lasted, anyway ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Remarkable. I'm pretty sure I've seen a few eBay auctions with 2600s that looked very similar to those after shots. Pity about the "cake" though -- that was a work of art. I notice the body was made out of wafers. For some reason I always thought it was actual cake.

ATARIeric Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 why was it outside in the first place, its mind boggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 So I'm tired and I go looking at the pictures because I saw them first. I almost had a heart attack looking at the last one. (But I'm not that unhealthy yet) Then I realised it was some sort of edible. *panic attack over* Thats what I get for not "RTFA". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 If you dig into the center you may find that some of it is still edible. Would be a shame to have spent the time and effort and not get to sample the results. Let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 It true and it based on fact. My dad was infamous for turning frozen pizza into "hocky pucks" This is the term he'd use when he'd put a pizza in the oven and then fall asleep. He wake up and find the charred remains, but I'd always notice these pucks in the trash, sliced down the middle, He was trying to salvage that one morsal in the center that was still edible. Sadly it wasn't always possible. Remind me to tell you about the time he fell sleep with a half gallon of ice cream on his lap. Ahhh alki's Gotta love em.

AtariDude Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Nice job of creating the ginger bread 2600 but it is a shame that you left it in the rain. I am sure that some of the nearby animals like the chipmunks or birds would probably enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 do you mind if I use a one of the after shots to make a fake ebay auction? This will be F**ckin hilarious if I get any bids I think the title will be: NEAR MINT SEARS ROEBUCK HEAVY SIXER ATARI, WORLDWIDE FREE SHIPPING Seller Takes No Responsibility For Biohazardous or Checmical Sickness Incured by Said Items NOW THAT WOULD BE A SWEET AUCTION TO MAKE BIG BUCKS ON!!!

Albert Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I'm sorry to see your beautiful creation was ruined by the rain. At least you took some nice pictures when it was in its pristine state, which contrast nicely with the "After" photos. What's your next videogame-related edible project? And why didn't this one get eaten? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 some of our many-legged friends had decided to do just that ... ewww At first, I thought you were just being weird in that you didn't eat it because a dog had bits of it. but now that I've re-read it, as I understand, you refer to ants and things, yeck. (Looks at his 5 year old gingerbread christmas tree that stil gets eaten at every few months) BUT NOT BY ME I SWEAR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I guess it just goes to prove that you can't have your cake and eat it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I think it looks cool ShyOne. At first, I thought it was a real sixer but after careful examination, I could tell that it was made out of gingerbread. Don't feel bad about it. At least it wasn't ACID rain or the thing would be completely melted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyOne Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thanks for the nice compliments, all ... it really was a fun project, and I don't feel too badly about its demise. Nature of the gingerbread beast, I'm afeard ... I think the part I find most amusing are the two or three holes literally eaten through the 'grill' by the rain dripping off the arbor over our patio area. Just looks too gruesome. As for what's next ... have no projects in the works right now. But am always open to suggestions for something fun to work on ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
