The Far Side Of Cake, Vol. 9
December 27, 2013 They say Santa just wasn't the same after that visit.

Everyone did their best to stay nonchalant, but like moths to a flame, they were inexorably drawn to Eeyore's new tramp stamp:

The silence stretched out painfully, and now everyone was looking at him. Curse that mechanic and his "ultra performance diesel shake"!

It really was a great place for cookouts and casual get-togethers... provided you never made eye contact with the ducks:
;)
Thanks to Susan L., Laura K., Beth J., & Warren G. for the fowl play.

Fantabulous, Jen! I have to admit, though, my mind went elsewhere on the Eeyore cake. I guess I've been teaching 15-year-olds too long. O.o
Most of those are funny and awkward, but the Winnie-the-Pooh one is straight from the book. Eeyore's tail fell off and Pooh had to nail it back on. Nothing to see here, folks! Move along!
Hahahaha :D
3: The ducks are wondering what, exactly, is ON that grill (having read Hamlet, and recalling the line "Murder most foul as in the best it is..." (I never said that they were GOOD readers.)
2: I've heard of "front end" alignments, but aligning SOME things just isn't cool.
1:This may be the scene in which Eeyore has lost his balloon, and may be sitting on it. E. couldn't catch a break if it were contagious. =^-.-^=
The Eeyore cake caption is the funniest for me in a long time! I enjoy a lot of cakes every day, but that one had me laughing out loud. Without context (a personalized cake like that would be for someone who knew the stories, but, alas, I find most people no longer know the "real" Pooh) it's a funny cake!
The duck cake reminds me of the tiny Xmas village I put in my office this year. I have dubbed it the Disproportionate Christmas Village because the people that came with it are two stories tall. One house came with a snowman as tall as its roof and a birdbath that's a story tall. Adding to the whacky effect is the streelight, two stories tall, and with an inexplicable tilt to the left!
Those ducks would go perfectly with my village!
.....I *own* those duck ornaments....they hang on my tree each year......forever creepy.....
Our Christmas dinner conversation consisted of Duck Dynasty (my brother got the "Duck the Halls" CD and was telling us all who was singing each song), the fact that chickens don't pee (O.O) and castrating bulls. Nope, we're not redneck at all! That particular brother also went duck hunting on Christmas. He would LOVE that cake!
Cake#1: You sure that's Santa? That looks more like Uncle Remus.
Cake#3: For some reason, this caption just makes me chortle like no other. Perhaps the "mechanic" was the 60's VW van (can't remember his name) who was always praising his fuel with the "natural" additive in a very mellow voice. You can totally see the "Whaaa?" in Mater's eyes.
Happy Christmas Aftermath, everyone! Having no snow in our neighborhood, we are going to it! We are going to a local mountain with snow, Mt. Hood, (also cafes and inner tube runs and cocoa stands and gift stores and many other places to separate you from your money, but, hey, kids!) and slide down hills and build snowmen and snowforts and throw snowballs and drink cocoa. Then we go home.
that santa cake looks like santa in black face. so politically wrong on so many levels lol
@Jodee: That little village of yours sounds fascinating! My sister, brother, and I used to have a farm set with a metal barn, hard rubber animals, people, etc. I know what you mean about scale--the chickens were like ostriches next to the farm children! We loved that thing! I saw one just like it on e Bay for about $50. =^! !^=
Did anybody else think the banner in the second one read "DIRTY"? No? Just me? All righty then.
Right Jaylene? Santa in BLACKFACE? Really???? OMG thought I'd die...but I'm laughing too hard to die...
Looks like McQueen had a little too much of Fillmore's organic biofuel.
What is wrong with the Santa cake? It doesn't look at all like blackface, like others mentioned, it just looks like a black Santa.
Lol wow. I had no idea cars could poop. Wreckerators teach me something new everyday! Scary but new non the less lol.
@Jodee: They do, TOO! (Chickens pee, I mean.) It's just that their urinary tract and their GI tract empty out the same hole; that's why their poop is so liquid-y. You have heard (and possibly eaten) of chicken kidneys, have you not? Whad'ya think comes out of 'em? (I may be a redneck as well, but I is an EDUCATED redneck; got my Bachelor's in Animal Science, my Associate's of Applied Arts in Veterinary Technology & did some grad work in vet med, too. As well as raising lots and LOTS of poultry.)
I can confirm the veracity of Lisa's statement that "without context" the Eeyore cake is "a funny cake." I don't know the stories, but I also laughed out loud when I read Jen's caption.
@SaraCVT: Your comment on cake #1 was unappreciated. The cake was poorly made. Santa looks crestfallen. But what does the supposed ethnicity of the cake have to do with that? Why would that even pop into your head?
Jen, the Eeyore commentary is perfect!
@Alana - it's not Santa's color that concerns me, it's his expression. He looks quite distressed about something or other...
Lol. Black Santa and his sad Christmas tree friends.... or should I say friend?
