Thank you! It goes very well with the (independently invented!) theremin-equipped candy dish, I should think.

Ooouuuuuwheeee....

Is that UFO a colander? Bloody brilliant, that one is!

love the shadows! happy halloween everyone.

Er, hang on a moment, just a slight question: I know it's firmly embedded and entrenched now, but when exactly within our recent lifetimes did halloween have any association at all with ufos? Apart from inaccurately bundling it into a general "weird shit" category with witchcraft and ghosts and all that, I mean. I blame The Simpsons on this one. Pre-Simpsons, when did you ever associate halloween and ufos at all? ufos came and went on any day of the year they liked.

//halloween have any association at all with ufos ?//

"Space Aliens stole our croissants !"

NB This is NOTHING to do with us. We do NOT indulge in any "weird shit" involving crop circles, attacks of cattle, or - perish the thought - anal probes. We do do some (but not all) of the lights in the sky, and abduct people, but that's about it. Don't put all that other stuff on us, OK ?

That's just fantastic, [Jutta]!

Brilliant.

Lovely work!

Didn't Niel Sedaka do Colander Girl?

Actually, it's probably not a colander, it's probably a rare sighting of Russell's teapot.

We're straining to lift it captain but we dinna have the power.

nicely done Jutta! Happy H.

Lovely.
-- hippo, Oct 31 2009


Thanks [jutta].
-- phoenix, Oct 31 2009


I'm with [Ian] in being somewhat bemused; I was not previously aware of any association between UFOs and Hallow'e'en, or indeed between kitchen implements and Hallow'e'en. 'raand 'ere loik Hallow'e'en is "the turning of the year, when the veil between the world and the other world grows thin..." and it's dead things, witches, ghosties & the like.

Cool logo for a space alien themed 'bakery though! Most impressed!
-- pocmloc, Oct 31 2009


The old witch always thinks of us. (did I say that? Oh no, aliens are gonna come tonight and steal my cats and coffee cups, I fear.) Yay...Halloweenie! Thanks jutta.
-- blissmiss, Oct 31 2009


There is one thing: i find the disappearance of the top of the craft/colander out of the top of the frame eerily unnerving, like i need to scroll up just a _little_ further, so it's like an unscratchable itch, and that itself is oddly appropriate.
-- nineteenthly, Oct 31 2009


but that touch is just genius!
-- po, Oct 31 2009


Exactly.
-- nineteenthly, Oct 31 2009


{It's not really a colander...it's one of those fold-up steamer baskets. You're seeing just about all there is to see of it.}

So this isn't a Halfbakery Easter Egg that I unlocked by pasting the Arecibo message binary string as a comment.

Very nice!

// aliens are gonna come tonight and steal my cats //

Sorry, yes, er, apparently that is one of the ones we do ....
-- 8th of 7, Nov 01 2009


Very cool logo. Even funnier that it was a day late, here in the future.
-- UnaBubba, Nov 02 2009

Have you got flying cars yet?
-- coprocephalous, Nov 02 2009


Yes, but only in the sense that one or two always hit that off-ramp just a tiny bit too fast ........
-- 8th of 7, Nov 02 2009


I managed to totally miss the halloween logo :(
-- kaz, Nov 02 2009


I saved it - shall I send you a copy?
-- po, Nov 03 2009


I like the logo archive ([jutta]'s link) - there are some there I think I missed.
-- hippo, Nov 03 2009


Thank you for the kind offer [po], [jutta]'s link does the trick though.
-- kaz, Nov 03 2009


I sent it this morning - good excuse to touch base!
-- po, Nov 03 2009


*goes and checks e-mail*
-- kaz, Nov 03 2009


[po] "touch base"?! - have you suddenly become American?
-- hippo, Nov 03 2009


don't know my base from my elbow :)
-- po, Nov 03 2009


Hint Your base is much, much bigger than your elbow ....
