Ugly pancake contest seeks your entries

Saipancakes, who normally makes astounding pancakes like the ones above, had a rather spectacular pancakefail (right), prompting him to inaugurate an ugly pancake contest: "Rules: 1. It must be mostly pancake batter, and cooked like a pancake; 2. You (or someone) must eat it. You have until Saturday, May 19, to send me a photo of your creation. Winner will be chosen by my 4-year-old son. Honorable mentions will also be included on the site. Send your photo(s), title, and explanation to..."

Ugly Pancake Contest

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Who are these creative amazing parents? Everywhere I turn there are parents engaging in Darwinian Operas of Magnificence. What am I doing with my kid? Infinity Blade II…hangs head.

But if I was not lazy, some ideas:

Double Helix
2D Bucky Ball (yes, I recognize the inherent oxymoron)
Venn Diagram
HIV outer coat protein structure
Homer Simpson

If his son was 12…boobs?

I think the Apollonian Gasket is best for maximum butter and syrup placement, though it is admittedly skimpy on actual pancake.
