Big Bangs
July 1, 2011 Note: Today's post contains a word that starts with "p" and rhymes with "Venus." Parents, please parent accordingly.
Before you head out to stock up on fireworks this weekend, here's a handy tip from the folks over at Lamebook:
Perhaps I should rephrase that.
Even if they are patrioticallypotent powerful
(Also: ow.)
What I meant was, when it comes to fireworks, you really want the most bang for your buck:
So always look for the cartoon steam whistle shouting, "Bang!"
You should also familiarize yourself with what fireworks actually look like, so you don't end up with a bunch of...bombs. (See what I did there?)
Even if they are patriotically
No, trust me, you don't want sprinkles.
I see...slushies.
Oh my gosh! They killed Blinky!
(That's the red ghost from Pac-Man, kids. Now stop making me feel old.)
Important rocket safety tip:
The flamey bits should always come out the back.
Also, don't forget your patriotic donut holes!
Oh, and Canada, lest you think I've forgotten you:
Happy Bloody Band Aid day!
(Once you see it, it's all you'll see.)Thanks to Jessica G., Dawn S., Gail D., Deanna T., Amber S., Leanne O., Saralyn T., & Jennifer O., who make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" while they shoot across the sky-y-y.
In a firework-y way, I mean.
Not a penis-ishy way.
NEW GOAL: Work the word "penis-ishy" into as many conversation today as possible. Starting...NOW.

LMAO, I knew who Blinky was without the help. You're not old! :)

Penis-ishy. Best word ever.
That first one is a doozy! It totally made me blush.
Rumor has it that the one dollar bill has a connection with a prominent secret society. I believe the celebration of Independence Day has a connection
with another type of celebration, if you know what I mean. These pictures, fireworks going off, shooting in the sky, all make things so much clearer.
This entire 4th of July celebration is penis-ishy suspicious to me.

A big tip of the ol'...err...hat...to you for these holiday...tips....
wv-crochs: When using fireworks, everyone should also protect their crochs.
The guy at the DQ did that on purpose. There is NO WAY that was not on purpose. I refuse to believe otherwise.
WV: peninon when bakers try and get penises onto cakes anonymously and call it something else, it's a peninon.
From now on I will call those who disagree with me politically, "Patriotic Donut Holes.
Patriotic Penishes?
All those cakes should be washed, right down the patriotic drainishes.
Great post.

Okay, so this post reminds me of NicePeter's (ha!) epic rap battle of history between Napolean Dynamite and Napolean Bonaparte.... you'll see why at the end.

(if you love that, than you must watch Einstein vs. Steven Hawking)
The first thought that went through my head when I saw Cake #1 - Wow! Captain America is getting all...penis-ishy!! Then I read your comments and found out it was just a messed up fire cracker. Ho hum.
wv - underse: I bet Ariel doesn't have one of those underse!
Don't worry. If your cakes are "penis-ishy," you just need frosting made with "penis-illen."
That first one is wrong on SO many levels.... O_o as for the others-have they any idea what a firecracker looks like???
Happy Bloody Band Aid day to you too, J&J at Cake Wrecks! :)
My husband thinks I'm nuts because I'm chortling. I'm afraid to show him the page.
I don't think he'd appreciate the "-ishy" part of penis-ishy.
I think I see the trouble here. None of these decorators have ever seen a real firecracker. Explains so much!
These cakes are perniciously penis-ishy!
(Has anyone else noticed that penis-ishy is really hard to type, let alone say?)
WF: herfu. I don't think I'm going to go there.
Reading CW and Epbot in the mornings ALWAYS give me a great jumpstart for my day! Thank you so very very much for all the laughs!
Those are great! In a horrible way. But I have to say the "bloody band-aid" one brought me to tears!!
No... No... No... No... No...
Also, those blue doughnut holes look moldy.
Now, back to No... No... No... No...
Baby, you're a penis!
ok, the first one makes me think the baker obviously just broke up with their bf...
and i just about died laughing when the blue balls made their appearance...
and lastly... penis-ishy?!?!? well.. now i'm laughing soo hard i'm crying! what a way to start the holiday weekend!!
BRAVO JEN!! BRAVO!!
Clyde will never recover from the loss of Blinky.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. A-a-a-a afternoon delight!
When I saw poor Blinky dead, I honestly heard the PacMan dead sound.
And penis-ishy is totally the new word for the day!
Very penisishy. Certain thinng just dont look good as a cake.
Penis-ishy fireworks are da bomb.
Just not on cakes.
(Yay! I used the new word!)

The Canada Day cake is in honor of the worst injury ever received in Canada's brave struggle for independence. Yeah, a guy got a nasty paper cut while handling the paperwork! :D
I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Well, sorta.
WV: flyin
I don't think those cakes will be flyin off the shelves unless it's straight into the garbage can.
Makes me proud to be an American and wish I were a Canadian.
Great post!
My darling almost-4-yo saw #3 and said, "Look, Mom, a lighthouse!" Glad she's not quite reading yet to truly enjoy today's post.
It's a 4th of July salute to modern medical practices-- bloody band-aids, and I swear that first one has something to do with a catheter.
wv: poopme. I am too stunned to think of anything to say, aside from "oh, sh*t, you've gotta be kidding."
If we were to get Sigmund Freud to read the posts and the comments herein, I think he would have had a O HAI penis-ishy day!
lolololololol
Whistle feels blue, bummed.
Who dares light his fire? Who is
brave enough for "bang?"
wv: surefan
It's too easy.
Who knew fireworks could be so weiner-ish.... OOORRRR... Who knew so many people had gutter brain?? haha
My own haiku just made me blush when I came back to read it. That's how I know it's good.
Wow....just wow. After reading Jen's Epbot post yesterday, John, I was expecting something much more . . . um . . . Canadian . . . instead of penis-ishy. But these cakes are certainly . . . um. . . interesting, to say the least. Hopefully the Canadians among us aren't offended by the bloody bandaid cake. LOL
WV: impacke - (yes, really!) WOW! Look at those "fireworks"! They really make a HUGE impacke! ;)
I think that first one is a tribute to Post Candiru Trauma Syndrome... (blinkblink)...
Penisishly! (hahahahahahahaha!)
WV - Yingle: Yah, dat yingle looks infected, Sven... You should see da doc about it... You might have a Candiru in dere.
My wv. is "bursts"! Really! Is it possible that it is just coincidence? Seems a little penis-ishy to me.
Penis-ishy? I thought she was a vagina...
The 'Patriotic Donot Holes' remind me of all the 'patriotically' painted bollards, walls and street lights they have around here. Some how i think shouting ''Vive La France'' every time i see them, wouldn't actually go down too well.
Yeah I live in Northern Ireland.
Uh, is it just me, or does that third cake look like an Independence Day Christmas stocking?
i showed this to my mom's boss and she thought it was hysterical. love it when bosses decide it's okay to have a sense of humor on the job :)
Did anyone else read "bloody band-aid" with a British accent in your head?
Ohhhhhh my.... Do people really pay for these things!
Wow, yesterday we had sperm, today we have maker-of-sperm.
Love it!!!!
I am canadian and totally offended by the bloody bandaid comment... You bunch of Patriotic Donut Holes.
Just kidding. I think the baker of the canada cake must of been celebrating Canada Day a little early, and we do that by walking to the beer store, bringing home a 2-4, drinking and repeating as nessicary.
Er, uh... [fondly remembering the days when wreckerators were not sure how many stripes the Flag should have or were perhaps confused about the color scheme.]
@pikkewyntjie, as an American who has zero use for bureaucrats regardless of nationality, I find your comment completely non-offensive. Not to mention funny.
That said, think I'll mosey on over to the shelter, just in case. I'll bring some Canada Dry Cream Soda and some non-patriotic donut holes. (I have a lingering suspicion of red food coloring while blue...well, you know, is really not my idea of 'guy food'. It's that whole 'you are what you eat' thing (shudders).
Wow.
Just. wow.
o.O

That first one is just perspective, the top of the firecracker.
That thing on the Canada cake reminds me of Santa's belt. 'Cause you know, he lives up in northern Canada... where it's cold... maybe...
:-P
