You Talkin' To Me?
February 24, 2011 Remember, bakers: It's never polite to ask a lady her age.
Writing it out on her birthday cake is perfectly ok, though.(Also be sure to emphasize the "Old Woman" part; seniors LOVE that.)
Oh what a difference a missing "t" can make:
And you thought that high school nickname would never catch up to you.
Don't worry, Julie; I'm sure the baker just had a "wisp!"I've been short for as long as I can remember, so I can say with some authority that this is why you should always order the *regular size* birthday cake:
Also, according to a t-shirt I saw once we're not "mini," we're "fun-size." So there.When celebrating a lucky couple's recent engagement, it helps to say something complimentary:
And also to remember that "monkey" and "lucky" sound exactly the same in Wreckerator.According to a recent survey,* "Pop-Pop" is the number one nickname for adorable grandfathers. (Awww.)
Guess what number two is?
Thanks to Cindy J., Erica L. & Erin P., Julie W., Gary L., Joann B., & Koby, who are talking to me, and actually do find me amusing. So that's seven.
* Which I just made up.

I would LOVE to get a cake that said "Jewie" on it. That would make me so happy.
However, can I be annoying for a second? Lisps are technically only difficulty with sibilants (such as /s/ or "sh"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp
/l/ turning into /w/ would be gliding of a liquid.
There, the speech therapist part of me will go back inside, and I'll not be THAT annoying person again.
I love that the 2nd cake recipient only received one congratulation. Got to spread the love.
I'm trying very hard to come up with a scenario where 'fast-rack' is a valid high school nick name... and failing. lol
Also.. why only one congratulation? With a nickname like that you would think there would at least be two...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEWIE????!?!?!?11111!!!??? Oh, my gee-hyphen-dee! Let's hope Julie wasn't Jewish...
The dice one may have been going for "a real money couple", as in the movie Swingers, as in you're so money. Still wrecky, but maybe not quite as bad as lucky >> monkey.
Guess what number two is, indeed. Nice double entendre :)
That last one makes me fearful of what's under the icing.
Made me laugh-thanks I needed it XD
I just laughed out loud at the "guess what number two is" joke. My coworkers think I'm crazy...and maybe I am.
Why don't the dice show a lucky 7?
And, oh, did my son *love* the Poop-Poop cake! He wants to call his grandfather right now! (who, thankfully, has a sense of humor)
I was chuckling while reading this post.... until I got to the "Jewie, " and then I was laughing. Especially at the last one. My brothers, sister and I called our grandfather Pap-Pap. I tried picturing his face and calling him Poop-Poop and it made me laugh out loud. And those who are cube dwellers know others around you all want to know what's so funny!
This is the first time I have commented on this blog, I have been creeping and reading it for months now...I literally almost spit water all over my work computer when I read "Happy Birthday Poop-Poop"
POOP POOP!! ha ha ha ha... # 2! ha ha ha ha... I'm HOWLING laughing over here at that one!!
Am I the only one who saw the second cake as saying "Congratidation"?
The question is, did the Jewie wrecker follow Sandra Lee's tips for making a kosher cake?
Maybe the wreckerator on that last cake was just letting out his/her inner "Austin Powers"... (WHO DOES NUMBER TWO WORK FOR!!!!!).
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who burst out laughing at Poop-Poop. I was questioning my maturity level! :)
I have a cousin named Velvie and seriously thought that was what the Jewie cake said. I wondered for a minute what was wrong with it.
Maybe cake 2's decorator (who wrote "Congratulation," singular, BTW) is a fan of http://www.onthefastrack.com/" rel="nofollow">On the Fastrack.
And maybe cake 3 is for someone with a last name like Jewett or Jewison.
...say are those OREOS?
I actually have a friend whos name is Mini, so that wouldn't be so wreckish here.
I thought the same as Lizzy, that the monkey couple was supposed to be "money" - but then the pips on the dice bothered me (opposite sides add up to 7) and they aren't even a lucky roll!
Not only is he called poop poop, but it looks like it's written in blood. Such a mess I feel quite certain I couldn't eat it. And that would bum me out more than the misspelling of pop pop.
Took me a minute on the monkey couple cake, because I was too distracted by those dice. Apparently, the decorator doesn't know that the opposite faces always add up to 7, so you'd never see the 1 and 6 both at the same time.
Also, nitpicking here, but the dice are wrong on the monkey cake. The 1 is always opposite the 6, and the 3 is opposite the 4. So dice can't look the way they're pictured on the cake -- the dots are on the wrong sides. :)
wv trizeu -- the wreckerator trizeu get dice right, but misses the mark.
Jen - remember, once you reach a "certain age", a good "poop-poop" IS a "happy birthday"!
WV: "herbros" - one of the names originally considered by Cheech & Chong...
Jewie? Fast rack? Number two?
Snort inducing post.
You guys are so funny! I love your way with words and puns. I've never commented before, but I've been following you every weekday for a year or more. Thanks for all the fun stuff!
Wow, Fast Rack sounds like a floozy. She must have been on the fast track to Vegas. Or maybe she was just an early bloomer.
Julie's cake sounds a little anti-Semitic. insult cake scores again!
Maybe Mini's cake is the opposite of Fast Racks. Maybe she's just an A-cup and being teased.
Now, the monkey couple seems to have a gambling problem. Are we back in Vegas again? did they win each other in a bet at the zoo?
Poop Poop! that sounds like the kind of luck my dad would have getting his arm tattooed! toilet training grandchildren are so cruel. so are wreckerators where English is their second language.
(now I'm wondering if there's a blog about tattoo wrecks.)
I hope Joan beat that wreckerator with her cane. Or walker. Or umbrella. Or fists. Whatever was available.
@Evalis, the only scenario I could come up has to do with going from a B to DD overnight involving tissues. In that case it should be 'TP Fast rack'!
@Carrie, I saw that too, but there is a 'u', the 't' has a fancy swirly line (~) with either a touch of extra icing or a blue sprinkle landed in just the right spot.
Oh no! Elmer Fudd is decorating cakes!!! Poor Jewie, that wascawy bewthday guwel!
There is no regular size. Everybody is fun-size! X-D
"Uncle" and "couple" could sound the same in wreckerator too! ;-)
If "Pop" is "Poop"...I'm imagining Dr. Seuss' book Hop on Poop, or drinking soda poop, "I'm gonna poop you in the nose!", hip-poop music, Michael Jackson: the King of Poop, eating the candy Poop Rocks or having Poop Tarts for breakfast....Maybe gramps should beat just that wreckerator too!
Hey! I'm talkin' to you too! I'm not the only one here! You can include me...that's 8 (at least I'm not number 2). :-D
You know, "Minnie" is actually a popular nickname for "Epcot."
good gravy, are these cakes what minimum-wage gets you? Spelling aside, they're pretty sloppy cakes all around.
WV: euirpt. I hope that last cake doesn't euirpt all over the place!
My name is Julie, and I'm Jewish. Now I'm kind of tempted to get a "Jewie" cake for my birthday.
Maybe Jewie's parents are hardcore Star War's fans. We will call her Jewie, since we can't call her Chewie. She would get picked on.
I wonder could the Fast Rack cake be for a Vice President on the FAST TRACK?
There is actually a gas station called FasTrack in California and a whole chain of gas stations called Fastrac in New York. So maybe the Fast rack wreckator just added an extra break to make it even more wrecktastic because let's face it, the cake is an eye sore without the text even being considered.
That last one might permanently turn me off eating cake. It is really unappetizing, between the unpleasant choice of colors and bleeding writing. For some reason, Poop-Poop doesn't bother me.
The "Jewie" cake made me think of Pierce (Chevy Chase) on Community! Bwahahahahaha~!
I know some seniors who are quite comfortable with the idea of being old men and old women and don't like people to mince words about it, so maybe that's what's going on with the first cake. Still not sure I would be that blunt on a cake, though. Besides, what the "old woman" really wanted was the last cake, which is made with 100% bran flakes and prunes.
With the cake with dice on it, how do we know Mike and Joann AREN'T monkeys? I support equal marriage rights for all primates so, good luck Mike and Joann! I'm guessing it's going to be a Vegas wedding?
WV: foidif
With these cakes, please a foidif possible.
Those are just too funny. That last one would have made my whole family laugh though.
I think I went to school with ole "Fastrack" herself.
My kids and my sister's kids call my dad Poopaw. Which is even funnier because he's a waste water treatment engineer.
So, if you call your grandfather poop-poop, what do you call your grandmother?
Whiz-whiz?
Pee-pee?
Then there's Uncle Belchie and Aunt Tootie.
I'm 56 years old -- why do you ask?
:)
I hate Pop Pop, Paw Paw, Mee Maw, Maw Maw and any other Redneck sounding names. Of course, with the way people go through partners I guess they have to make up stuff to call all the "relatives". (Getting off my soapbox now).
number two...heh
Let me just say that I think you are HILARIOUS!! I love all the comments on the photos. I laugh daily!!!!
~Casey
The "monkey couple" is not only wrecked with words, but the dice aren't correct. The dots on a die should add up to 7 on opposite sides of said die. So the fact we can see the 6 and 1 on the first die and the 3 and 4 on the other die make them incorrect. Does this mean the couple is unlucky? Or lucky to have 2 dice that are incorrect making it a positive? Or something like that...
You guys have been smokin' hot with the commentary. I swear I read your blog as much for the wit as for the wrecks. No pressure or anything going forward. Well, maybe a little. No, none. Seriously. None.
My niece used to call her gandfather Pop Pop, now he's Popsie Poo. That last cake would be hilarious for my family.
all i can say about the Monkey couple is maybe they are 100 Monkey fans so maybe just maybe they are a Monkey couple lol

I have to admit that "Happy Birthday Poop-Poop" cracked me up.
