jhetleyRan into a detour out at the airport, down a side road that accesses the army guard helicopter base, thence to another road that skirted the perimeter wire. Hope that whoever monitors the CCTV system didn't ID me as Victor Charlie. Anyway, no blaring klaxons or claymores fired.
Got out on the bike, across town and back, did not die.

cakewrecks_feedWhen it comes to naming pastries, you could say this bakery has really hit bottom:
But then, maybe this is a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing?
{Ew.}
Butt seriously, I'm sure these doughnuts are out of this world.
In fact, I bet they're really popular on Uranus.
[rimshot!]
Thanks to Robert F. for showing us what happens when you assume you know how to abbreviate "assorted."

P.S. Here's a giggle for my coffee-loving friends:
"My Four Moods" Dragon Tee
:D
It comes in both Men's & Women's cuts, plus a bunch more colors.

Aug. 21st, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedHere's one way to tell if a cake order was made over the phone:
Followed by a three hour tour?
[For the record, that joke makes me feel reeeeally old.]
John and I just sat here saying the words "our" and "are" ad nauseam. We sounded a lot like the seagulls in Finding Nemo: "Our? Are? Hour? R? Arr?"
Still, I take comfort in knowing you're all doing the exact same thing.
Now this one made us sound like the Count from Sesame Street. Which is to say, AWESOME.
In fact, from now on, I'm always pronouncing "welcome" like "wheeel come."
Sometimes a cake makes you wonder about its back story...
...but the good news is Sam actually didn't give a flying crap.
And finally, here's a girl with a need for speed:
Yep. Rose really likes to put the petal to the medal.
Thanks to Rachel N., Sarah D., Scot N., Kelly R., F.F., & Jon A., who only caught that last line because they've had their coffee. Good work, guys.

Aug. 20th, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedRemember when I used to rail against the cannibalistic indignity that is the baby butt cake?
Ah, those were some good times.
....
Let's do that again!
Hm. Given those "legs" and the hastily edited "Baby," you have to wonder what the baker thought they were making.
After all, bakers don't always have the firmest grasp on the whole "edible butt" concept.
For example, "broken legs shoved under a table" isn't quite what we're going for here:
Ow.
Parents, don't let childhood obesity get the upper butt on you:
Also watch out for TLS - teeny leg syndrome.
And while you're at it, parents, maybe wait 'til your baby is a little older before dousing their lower half with self-tanner:
I mean, c'mon, the cheeky little devil is barely half-grown!
'Course, sometimes a butt cake is more than just a butt cake.:
Sometimes it's a Toddler Torso cake.
Or, if you're lucky, sometimes it's a snaggle-toothed-monster-popping-through-a-sheet-cake-and-about-to-eat-a-rose cake:
Don't even try to tell me you don't see it.
And finally, for those of you who, like me, think the idea of ingesting a cake shaped like the poop-factory end of an infant is kind of disturbing, just remember:
...it sure beats getting a head.
Thanks to Maria S., Deidre P., Aubrey A., Anony M., Renee W., Roman S., & Debra for cracking us up today.

It also comes in solid colors, but the stripes are the best.

Aug. 19th, 2025 03:53 pmjhetleyRoadkill limited to one gray squirrel and the usual blood patches on the road.
Arrowhead blooming in the outfall pools at culverts through the bog. Also, lots and lots of "fall dandelions" (which are neither), more than we recall from past years. But that may reflect less mowing due to drought.
Got out on the bike, up to the golf course and over to the road through the bog and home. Did not die.
