School Daze
August 12, 2013 Hey kids! Now that August has rolled around, school is starting soon!
I guess we all know how you feel about that.
;)
;)
;)
If it's any consolation, your parents feel the same way when they pay for your school supplies.
("How can you possibly need 37 1-inch plain white view binders?!?")
Supplies in hand, you'll be learning important life skills like:
How to follow directions:
;)
... handwriting:
;)
... and the importance of finishing your work:
;)
(Also, irony.)
What will your favorite subject be?
Math?
;)
Social Studies?
;)
(That extra one on the bottom really pulls the whole thing together, doesn't it?)
Spelling and Grammar?
;)
Or maybe you're one of those kids who likes P.E.:
;)
(I was not, so that "bat" sums up my feelings perfectly.)
Whichever it is, remember to go easy on your new teachers; chances are they're still in vacation mode, too.
;)
Scholarly thanks to Amanda M., Colleen M., T.S., Molly McG., Steve V., Patrick T., Annette H., Heather Y., Oomps62, Michelle M., & Julie, who followed our submission guidelines perfectly -- I guess they paid attention in school.

@Just Andrea - try and talk to all the bakery staff and find the most incompetent ones- I guarantee there are at least three. They'll screw that order up so bad you'll end up with a wreck for sure lol. Hardest part of working in a chain was I wasn't allowed to get.creative and make something different, and couldn't tell the customers who wanted that to give me a call and I'll do it from home :-)
So, I wonder if that kid's name really is "Brain"?
@katimack and Just Andrea: I have been one of those decorators who is competent and make lovely cakes but I agree with Just Andrea. I just LOVE coming here for a great laugh and I have to shake my head a little and wonder what was that decorator doing? Really? [shaking head] hee hee. Some people should just put down the icing bag and walk away, just walk away. I myself would have been honored to see one of my creations on CWrecks.
@JustAndrea: Alas I no longer make the cakes and have been unable (like you) to find any bakeries to be a wreckporter at. It's a good dream!
First picture:That really IS the way Cookie Monster eats, and we all know it! Not a wreck!
#5: Pooh: "Piglet! LOOK at all the pretty colors and sweet gooey stuff!"
Piglet: "N-nooo, Pooh! It sc-scares me!"
Pooh: "But it looks so GOOEY and squiggly and hunny-yummly for the tummly!"
Piglet: "N-noooo, Pooh!! It still sc-SCARES me!"
Eeyore (rolling eyes, and griping to himself: "What a WUSS that stupid pig is! Besides, I did the best I COULD with that blue squiggle-goo crap. What do they EXPECT for nothing, freakin' Michelangelo?")
=^-.-^= really...!
For my part, I have told all local DOC-ers to 'stand down' -- alas, to no avail. Even the cart wranglers know how to spell, and can write legibly. Competence abounds in the one field of endeavor where I *don't* necessarily want it. What a world, what a world...
Anyway...
My theory on #5 is that the *customer* requested said cake, and asked that a message be written on it. Counter person (who may or may not moonlight on cart duty) tactfully informs said customer that said message may not fit. Customer says, "do the best you can." Counter person again states for the record (a bit loudly so the recording device under the counter can pick it up clearly) that the message may be somewhat garbled due to the lack of space. Customer says, "it's really fine; Brian's birthday is tomorrow, but I'd kind of like to wrap up the discussion and get this done now."
I was almost killed by a spider this morning at my desk. At the urging of a certain someone who shall remain nameless, I just spent the last 30 minutes looking at a site dedicated to some of the scariest bugs I've seen in my life.
I need rainbow pooping unicorns so I don't have nightmares. Anybody know where I might find something like that?

Go to the July 23, 2012 Cake Wrecks entitled: "GET ME A UNICORN CHASER! (Oh. Wait.)"
And remember, most spiders do not want to kill you and eat your brain.
@Jodee:
Wow...what a weird coincidence~~I have nightmares ABOUT rainbow-pooping unicorns...!
=^o.0^=
Whatsthatbug dot com
just wants to show you cool bugs.
So sorry, Jodee.
A six-legged hug.
Apologies unending.
Let's not be in sects.
@CNS:
Very interesting...! Yes...very intereSTING...I just checked out WTB, and I must say~I'm going back. I've seen a few really unusual critters in my neck of the woods that I'd like to identify. >i<
I absolutely LOVE the flag wreck. No words needed for this one! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I also love the Cookie Monster cake, and would love to take him home.
@Jodee: I quote this from a friend's Facebook post this week, just for you:
"Reseach shows that if you're afraid of spiders, you're more likely to find one in your bedroom.
"I'm reallly, really afraid of Johnny Depp."
Wow lol. So much giggling here right now. I felt like the first three cakes whenever summer ended and I knew that horrors awaited me back in school. Ugh. Love the wreckerators on these lol.
I have a zombie friend with a birthday coming up and I really wanted to give him a happy birthday brain, but I had no idea how to decorate it. With Winnie the Pooh characters and carrots! Geez! So obvious!
Pinning!

Thanks for the tip @katiemack1012!
@AudB: your line, "It's a good dream!" made me laugh. It is my dream, and it *is* a good dream. : - p
@TLC: Bwahahahahaha!
@Jodee: Google Images: Rainbows and Unicorms. You will see (among other things): Unicorns farting rainbows, The President riding a unicorn, edible rainbow colored poop, a unicorn peeing a rainbow, a rainbow unicorn ninja, and unicorn with freaking rainbow lasers coming out of its horn. Your welcome.
I read the "Congration You Done It" cake as "You Bone It" and I had all kinds of American Pie feelings
Backwards American flag cake makes me want to weep for our country. Though I suppose you could just turn the box around and it would at least be facing the right direction...right??
With that kind of handwriting on the Brain cake, it makes me wonder if the wreckerator has one at all. Poor Brain.
I was at Target getting some sunglasses yesterday, and it took me back to see all the glum kids with their harassed-looking parents. Mixture of nostalgia, sadness for the little dudes havin' to face school again, and profound relief that I am out of that abhorrent cycle.
(I'm currently in college and taking summer quarter, so I'm still in school, but it's nowhere near the same feeling as going back to school after summer break. Plus, I graduate at the end of the quarter, WHOO!)
I haven't been around in a while. THANK YOU ALL for the comments! THANK YOU SHARYN for today's post.
I AM SO EXCITED! I CAN'T STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
