FAILing Representatives

Argue all you want about politicians with hidden agendas, but MY state Reps are looking out for people...


I had no idea that it was inappropriate for adult males to spray tan nude minors. Sheesh. I submitted this to the folks at FAILblog a while back but it didn't get enough votes to make it to their main page. Who needs 'em! It's a genuine screen shot from the Indianapolis Star a few months ago.

On another note, here's what happens when your rarely viewed blog gets a nice link from Cake Wrecks...
Finally, since there may be people sticking around to see what this site is all about (mostly nothing), you might want to check out this old post: Manly Blogging Award.

This Sight Has Bin Recked!

I'm a regular reader of the Cake Wrecks blog. I know that I've mentioned it quite a few times here and perhaps I've convinced some of you to join me in checking it out each and every day for cakes gone wrong. In fact, I was just reminding my wife two nights ago that when my next birthday rolls around (the big 4-0) I want my cake to say, "Happy 40th Birthday! Fireworks Explosion" in honor of this cake from Cake Wrecks:

(Here's the link behind it if you care to read the story.)

Last month I nearly died laughing at the "Happy Falker Satherhood" Cake Wrecks entry and decided to add to the lore of this holiday in my blog. I had no idea that it would get tagged by the Cake Wrecks blog and bring so many new people to my obscure blog home (welcome, by the way...just don't touch anything). I went from 9 stalkers to 24 stalkers in the course of a day. Now I feel compelled to contribute something to society.

Here it is...I call it, "Fun with plastic water bottle caps and permanent markers."

Happy Falker Satherhood

For many people, today is known as "Cinco de Mayo"--a Mexican holiday which, when translated to English, means "drink as many Coronas and/or maragaritas as you can during your lunch break."

But I wanted to take the time to wish you all a Happy Falker Satherhood. Falker Satherhood was celebrated in the tiny Eastern European country of Belgrid to commemorate the beginning of spring and the annual "Dancing Ritual of the Goats." If you've never experienced the joys of goat dancing and Falker Satherhood, you don't know what you're missing. Obviously, you're an uncultured buffoon!

But seriously folks, Falker Satherhood is NOT a holiday--as far as we know. However, there's a small bakery somewhere in these United States that either thinks it's a holiday or decided to make one up (they're probably in cahoots with the greeting card industry looking for a new day to sell overpriced cards). To get the real story on Falker Satherhood, be sure to pop over to Cake Wrecks.

And Happy Falker Satherhood to you and yours!

Cake Wrecks Revisited

I'm sure that I've stated before that I'm a fan of the Cake Wrecks blog. While many of them are funny, I particularly like it when the cake decorators just don't "get it" when carrying out the wishes of the customers.

For instance, let's say that it's Jason's birthday and he means a lot to you. You call up your local cake decorator and tell him/her that you need a cake that says, "Happy Birthday, Jason" and that it's kind of a rush order. So, you tell them that there's a big tip in it for the company if it's done before 12 on the day you need it. The person who takes your message writes down something like this, "Happy Birthday Jason. Big tip if it's there before 12" and you end up with this...



That same kind of thinking gives you cakes like this...


And my personal favorite...


I've actually told my wife that I went my 40th birthday cake to say, "Happy Birthday Insert Name Here! Fireworks Explosion."
