Finally something cute that I can stuff in my mouth!

2 emudoug 10.22.08 at 4:32 pm

Wokka!

3 CoffeeCup 10.22.08 at 4:33 pm

I actually read all of the wokkas in my head! One of your best NOMTOM, and so simple.

And I want those..can we get the real recipe?

4 geneticlemon 10.22.08 at 4:33 pm

Wokka wokka wokka wokka! Wokka wokka, wokka wokka wokka wokka wokka.

5 AuntieMame 10.22.08 at 4:36 pm

I keep looking for Fozzie Bear. Wokka wokka!

6 Eastie 10.22.08 at 4:39 pm

Abe Vigoda is alive!

I want some of those cookies. They look yummy.

7 yankeebird 10.22.08 at 4:39 pm

Liberace, Abe Vigoda, and Pennzoil? Three things I’d rather not think about together, thanks.

8 Not That Mike The Other Mike 10.22.08 at 4:42 pm

By the way, those of you on sugar-restricted diets can substitute wokka wokka for the wokka wokka.

9 Taki's mom 10.22.08 at 4:44 pm

“Werp Werp” – LOL!

10 Erebella 10.22.08 at 4:45 pm

Auntiemame – me too! Did you know the voice of Fozzie Bear is also Miss Piggy? And Animal and the angry blue eagle guy. :)

11 DivaPie 10.22.08 at 4:45 pm

NTMTOM, your sense of humour escapes me… but you deffo get points for creativity and originality.

Zany-ness FTW!! :D

12 muttluver 10.22.08 at 4:45 pm

Love the hoverscript. I have only to add: wokka wokka, Nom Tom, wokka wokka.

13 HorribleLicensePlates 10.22.08 at 4:47 pm

What about the bonus fruit?

14 muttluver 10.22.08 at 4:48 pm

Just looked back up at the picture: the orange one on the bottom is looking toward pacman! (Should that be as hilarious as I think it is?)

15 (the original) Mel 10.22.08 at 4:48 pm

*screams like a girl*

*hyperventilates*

16 Minutiae 10.22.08 at 4:58 pm

The only thing missing is Ms. PacMan… someone should put a little pink bow on the 2nd one!

17 T.U.M. 10.22.08 at 4:58 pm

It’s times like these I hate sharing an office.

18 Kris 10.22.08 at 5:01 pm

I was waiting for Fozzie, too! Wocka, wocka!

19 rv 10.22.08 at 5:08 pm

this might be the funniest post ever.

20 berthaservant 10.22.08 at 5:08 pm

Inky! Blinky! Pinky! CLYDE!!!

Thanks NTMTom!

(ps Frank Oz does Yoda’s voice too)

21 BeckyMonster 10.22.08 at 5:16 pm

Erebella:

The blue eagle guy is Sam the Eagle, one of my personal faves.

I also agree that we need a Ms. PacMan and some bonus fruit!

22 Erebella 10.22.08 at 5:16 pm

Berthaservant – knew that, I did. You gotta love a guy who talks like that. His regular speaking voice sounds almost exactly like Fozzie.

23 Janeyferr 10.22.08 at 5:19 pm

i know a lass who makes cupcakes for a living. check out the cuteness of some of her halloween range: http://www.thecambridgecupcakecompany.com/images/gallery/mix3.jpg

24 Suzanne 10.22.08 at 5:22 pm

muttlover….only because the expression seems to be “OH CR#P!”

25 Theo 10.22.08 at 5:23 pm

Laughed my ASS off. (I’m standing up right now.)

Best use of embedded URLs *ever*.

26 catloveschanel 10.22.08 at 5:23 pm

and furthermore….

Say, I’ve been off sugar for um, a day, I guess, but that sure reminds me of one of those big soft cookies with the pink icing, um, Uncle Ike’s? I’m pretty sure like to eat all of those.

wonka

27 asianmike 10.22.08 at 5:24 pm

That was the most random link roll I’ve ever seen.

AWESOME

28 Theo 10.22.08 at 5:25 pm

(fine, fine… laughed my ‘TOCKS off, okey dokes?)

29 R 10.22.08 at 5:25 pm
30 Fegli 10.22.08 at 5:26 pm

Love how the orange guy second from the left on the bottom is totally aware of his impending doom…

… except how can he be? He’s not glowing! Watch out Pac Man!

31 Jessica 10.22.08 at 5:31 pm

That’s the best cookie theme ever! For an even more awesome presentation, you could put them on a black plate and use marshmellows for the dots in between. Maybe I’m taking this too far…

32 Theo 10.22.08 at 5:35 pm

MINI-marshmallows!

33 KB in To. 10.22.08 at 5:35 pm

Coffeecup, the first wokka wokka is the recipe — http://www.joyofbaking.com/SugarCookie.html

34 Theo 10.22.08 at 5:35 pm

…and, and, and NECCO WAFERS for the power dots!

35 Not That Mike The Other Mike 10.22.08 at 5:39 pm

@CoffeeCup: Regarding the recipe, the last link in the post (werp werp) leads to the blog post of the person who made the cookies, so you could ask there.

But I suppose any garden-variety sugar cookie recipe would work fine for this.

36 Not That Mike The Other Mike 10.22.08 at 5:41 pm

On a Pac-Man-related note, this graphic always makes me grin:

37 MEGarde 10.22.08 at 5:51 pm

If NTMTOM married Meg (I know she’s married, don’t interrupt) and they had children … I think the children would look like kittens and wear cookie pattern flannel pajamas in pastel colors, and they would get in trouble in school a lot for making the other kids laugh all the time. That’s what I think.

38 Erin 10.22.08 at 5:56 pm

Thanks for the link! We here at Popular Mechanics are HUGE Cute Overload fans! ;)

39 Robin 10.22.08 at 6:00 pm

what the … have y’all been smoking?!

40 starling 10.22.08 at 6:04 pm

Definitely, MEGarde, they’d be the stuff of nightmares for teachers!

Hehe, one of the links contained a link to an anti-theft lunchbag.

41 fish eye no miko 10.22.08 at 6:10 pm

Erebella said: “Auntiemame – me too! Did you know the voice of Fozzie Bear is also Miss Piggy? And Animal and the angry blue eagle guy. :)

Sam the Eagle. And the guy’s name is Frank Oz.

He also did the voice of Yoda in the Star Wars films. ^_^

42 renita 10.22.08 at 6:22 pm

Where can I get pac-man and ghostie-shaped cookie cutters? cause I totally want to make these now.

43 Decca 10.22.08 at 6:28 pm

I love the links. I think I had a dream like this once right before a final in collage. Abe Vigoda being chased by kangaroos in Zippy the Pinheadland while Libarace played in the background. All that’s missing is Weird Al, a lot of talking jellybeans, and my cranky grandmother.

44 bookmonstercats 10.22.08 at 6:47 pm

Great baking site, and how super to have the “cups” measured, because we don’t use cups over here, so I’ve never been able to use American recipes before.
In my music room at home I have an amazing caricature of Jimi Hendrix’s head, made up of small guitars, a lovely limited edition print of a girl at a grand piano…. and a figurine of Animal, ‘coz he is the GREATEST,

45 carmen 10.22.08 at 6:47 pm

wokka wokka

46 Kristina 10.22.08 at 6:55 pm

Yay! If anyone is looking, here is the ‘how-to’ on the cookies :)

http://www.funny-potato.com/pacman-cookies.html

47 Khadija 10.22.08 at 6:56 pm

and the oscar for the best hovertext goes to…

[Hmm, not this one, not for best hovertext. I mean, what's one more wokka? But Mike definitely deserves *some* kind of award for this Pac-Man recipe post, I tell ya; laughed till I about choked... - Ed.]

48 Nikki 10.22.08 at 7:05 pm

The little orange dude at the bottom looks so much like he’s looking into Pacman’s mouth and thinking “I do NOT want to meet THOSE tonsils!!”

49 katiedid 10.22.08 at 7:06 pm

I had no idea Abe Vigoda was still alive.. humm…

50 Theresa 10.22.08 at 7:17 pm

My nephew got a bag of googly eyes for his birthday. I can’t wait to see what he uses them for.

51 ceejoe 10.22.08 at 7:46 pm

an upside down tulip… who’da thought… creative people amaze me…

52 Aunt Jenn 10.22.08 at 8:02 pm

LOL! That is possibly the most random collection of links! Great job!

53 warrior rabbit 10.22.08 at 8:05 pm

Abe Vigoda appears regularly on Conan O’Brien. It is sort of amazing; I thought he was already pretty old when he was on Barney Miller. Also, if anyone’s seen Christopher Lloyd recently (that episode of L&O: CI), he now sort of looks like Abe Vigoda.

54 Kit 10.22.08 at 8:08 pm

OMG! Delicious! I must make them! In addition to adding a bow to one of the pacmans, I’d also drag out fresh fruit to serve with it!

55 Cassandra 10.22.08 at 8:24 pm

Most hilarious part of this???? The complete randomness of the URL’s in the picture description!! Loves it!

56 Theresa 10.22.08 at 8:46 pm

I don’t understand why people are saying the links are “random.” Don’t you discern the underlying unifying theme?

57 CoffeeCup 10.22.08 at 8:49 pm

bookmonstercats, to convert any measurements from one unit to another (such as cups to quarts, for example) just type __ (measurement unit) to (measurement unit) in to Google, like 4 cups to quarts. And Google will give you the answer.

58 SillyGirl 10.22.08 at 8:57 pm

oohh…NTMTOM I love you

59 Sunstorm 10.22.08 at 10:36 pm

Are those…GINGER SNAPS?! I WANT THEM!!!!!!! Adorable side effect, as well as the sugar rush. YUMMY!

60 wannadance 10.22.08 at 10:59 pm

did i just wake up after 50 years or something? what is this? is this on tv? is it a conspiracy? are those computer chips?

help.

61 Valerie 10.22.08 at 11:15 pm

OMG WANT.

Hahahaha, I am SO making these for my co-workers. :-)

62 Theo 10.22.08 at 11:20 pm

Theresa — and that would be The Party Inside Nom Tom’s Head?

63 Gail (the first one) 10.22.08 at 11:35 pm

Cookies look DELISH!!!!

64 jmuhj 10.23.08 at 12:03 am

Do they come in ginger-snap flava?

65 Not That Mike The Other Mike 10.23.08 at 12:29 am

@wannadance: Those aren’t computer chips, they’re cookies. Somebody baked them in Pac-Man shapes and put the photo on the blog linked below; that’s where I saw it.

http://www.tri-cityherald.com/1346/story/329576.html

66 Hibiscus 10.23.08 at 1:54 am

I second Theo’s vote – best embedded URLs ever.

I don’t want to imagine what would happen if Meg and Nom Tom got married b/c I now want Nom Tom to marry ME.

67 Theresa 10.23.08 at 1:58 am

@Theo, of course, and they’re all dancing to “Word Up” by Cameo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_7Kp_TapA4

68 Theo 10.23.08 at 2:23 am

Mike, congrats, you are officially Hot Property. Heh.

Theresa, no matter where you say it, you know that there you are. ;)

69 Theo 10.23.08 at 2:28 am

oh man how it all comes flooding back… “You try to put on those airs, and act real cool, but you got to realize, you’re acting like JESUS CHRIST MAN YOU’RE WEARING A M************ CODPIECE!?!!!

70 Theresa 10.23.08 at 2:44 am

Ow!

71 Theo 10.23.08 at 2:45 am

Word up.

72 Kimski 10.23.08 at 4:17 am

Those ghosts have the most animated and expressive googly eyes I’ve ever seen.

73 Ermine 10.23.08 at 4:21 am

Bwa ha! Glad I’m not the only one who also thought of Fonzie bear. Love this post. :)

74 Jackie 10.23.08 at 4:29 am

I feel very slow — all I can think of is Fozzy Bear. All pennzoil references are lost on me. =[

75 cookiemonster 10.23.08 at 5:32 am

Is Penzoil a good source of omega-3’s?

76 AquilaLorelei 10.23.08 at 5:49 am

Pennzoil is a brand of motor oil here in the US–don’t know where y’all are… ;)
Anyhoo, Nom Tom, the sound is BWOCK-ip_
BWOCK-ip_BWOCK-ip_BWOCK_ip
Really. Picture that sound in your head. It’sright, right? I was just thinking about Pac-Man last night, funny enough. A while ago, one of my friends showed me a YouTube video of all these office workers wearing Pac-Man sandwich boards and running around their building in “formation”. ROTFLOL.
(No, don’t ask for linkage, it’s been a while since I’ve *seen* it, mind you…)
And the sound is BWOCK-ip, TRUST me–which reminds me, I too was looking for Fozzie Bear. LOL.

77 Erin 10.23.08 at 12:06 pm

Great post. The silly links remind me of when my dad used to read me bedtime stories with all the wrong words on purpose. I would laugh and laugh and my mom would get annoyed because it was supposed to be bedtime. :)

78 Babs 10.23.08 at 1:39 pm

Other Mike, I want to ride the roller coaster in the amusement park inside your head.

Theo?! Tockless?! In Tocktober????!!!! Get thee to a tockery!

79 Elisha B 10.23.08 at 1:50 pm

AAAAAHHHH!! Takes me back to the day…….high school, big hair, leg warmers, Duran Duran….oh wait, that’s coming back isn’t it? Lord I hope not, leave the 80’s where they are. Okay maybe bring a few things back, but not leg warmers or big hair!

Great post!!! Thanks!!

80 Theo 10.23.08 at 2:19 pm

Babs — I go’ bettah…

81 Theo 10.23.08 at 2:20 pm

Ermine — LOL @ “Fonzie” Bear

82 BeckyMonster 10.23.08 at 2:20 pm

Wave your hands in the air like you don’t care,
Ride by the people as they stop to look and stare.
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick now,
So come on baby tell me what’s the word?

83 BeckyMonster 10.23.08 at 2:21 pm

Couldn’t help myself. I was moved by the spirit of Cameo and all the middle school dances I ever went to…

84 chanpon 10.23.08 at 2:30 pm

Yeah, they should’ve made the second one a Ms. Pac-Man, or even Baby Pac-Man for those who remember that game. And I will perhaps be the only person ever to admit I used to watch the short-lived Pac-Man cartoon, and this cookie set needs to have the family dog, Chom Chom in there.

85 Theo 10.23.08 at 2:38 pm

That’ll be cookie sheet 2.0, Chanpon. ;)

I only got to play a couple of times, but this is what I remember-I wasn’t very good at it, apparently, if this is all I remember besides the Wokka.
Thanks again NOMTOM!

87 Limegirl 10.23.08 at 3:39 pm

And thus, via random comments on an even more random post, the great costume idea of 2008 was born: Larry Blackmon’s outfit in “Word Up”.

Seriously, I love you people.

88 Rooanne 10.23.08 at 4:38 pm

I didn’t know Abe Vigoda was alive, either.

I’m partial to this lovely, um, lady? (well it is a Roo, after all). It be a submishe for a caption contest: http://kangaroos.org/kangaslep.html

89 Rooanne 10.23.08 at 4:39 pm

I meant to say it SHOULD be a submishe….

90 WokkaWokkaWokka 10.23.08 at 6:19 pm

Number wokka, Aquilalorelei, cookiemonster was wokking a pun. Second, no need to be wokky about how you spell the sound pacman wokks. It’s a cute post!
“If there’s wokka we can use it; we need to dance! We don’t have no time for wokkawokkawokk romance! ~Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance for me! WOKKA, come on baby tell me what’s the wokka..”

91 CJ 10.23.08 at 8:47 pm

I really, really want to eat those.

All of them.

In one sitting.

Stomachache be damned. Coloured icing makes me greedy.

92 Theresa 10.23.08 at 10:10 pm

OH BTW, that’s not a codpiece, that’s just the proper protective gear for pudding hockey games.

93 JenN 10.23.08 at 11:19 pm

I LOVED the links (especially on the ingredients list)!!! Your site makes me happy. :D

I couldn’t resist, I made the cookies yesterday (bonus fruits included) and arranged them appropriately. Even though the comment is in Hungarian, the picture speaks for itself…

98 Kar 10.24.08 at 3:47 pm

Poor Abe, his obit’s going to read:

“No really. We’re serious. Dead serious. No, we’re not kidding.”

I’m another one who thought of Fozzie at the title.

99 Not That Mike The Other Mike 10.24.08 at 3:57 pm

Percentage of cookie that resembles Pac-Man: 75%

Percentage of cookie that does not resemble Pac-Man: 25%

100 Theo 10.24.08 at 8:04 pm

Kiralylany — well done! Maybe reduce your oven temperature a little, though, next time.

;)

101 Yubi Shines 10.25.08 at 12:11 am

*sobbing with laughter*

p.s. wokka

102 Kiralylany 10.25.08 at 3:02 am

Theo,
this was my first time baking, so any suggestions are more than welcome :)
Next project: Tetris cookies!!!

[Oooh. Good choice. Don't skimp on the tall skinny pieces; there are never enough of those... - Ed.]
