Sunday Sweets: Filibuster Edition
February 16, 2014 A friend once told me, "I love all your posts, but I have to admit, on Sundays you could really write anything. I'm just there for the gorgeous cakes."
Hey, works for me! So, let's see, all I need is to pull together a bunch of amazing cakes, like this:

...and then fill up the page with whatever I want. It's a Sweets filibuster!
Does anybody have a copy of Green Eggs and Ham?
No? Ok, never mind. I'll improvise.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she.

A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V ... and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

I read some 4 and 5 star reviews by those who used this device successfully to change a baby while driving. On that basis, I bought one. I put my baby on it and drove for over an hour. It did not change. Same baby. I am glad it worked for some people but I will be returning mine.

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

I hated her... SOOO... much, it - flame, flames? Flames, on the side of my face, breathing - breath, heaving breaths. Heaving breaths... Heathing...

"You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?"
"I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain."
"Naturally, you must expect me to attack with Capo Ferro."
"Naturally, but I find that Thibault cancels out Capo Ferro, don't you?"

...and I believe you should put a woman on a pedestal.. high enough so you can look up her dress. And I believe in equality, equality for everyone.. no matter how stupid they are, or how much better I am than they are. And, people say I'm crazy for believing this, but I believe that robots are stealing my luggage.

A king cake is a type of cake associated in a number of countries with the festival of Epiphany at the end of the Christmas season, and in other places with the pre-Lenten celebrations of Mardi Gras / Carnival. The cake often has a small plastic baby (said to represent Baby Jesus) inside (or sometimes placed underneath), and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations.

1. Take ice tray over to the sink and fill it with cold water.
2. Place the water-filled ice tray back in the freezer.
3. Shut the door to the freezer.

During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
That's it! The filibuster's over.
Thank goodness these Sweets speak for themselves.

@Kim C: Elayne Boosler, a very funny lady in her own right
Oh, those ruffles...on that first take. They really took my breath away. They're just so...wow!
"...would you like some coffee Mr. Tully?"
"Would I?"
"Yes, have some."
"Yes, have some!"
Haha so true! :D Is that horrible to admit? And yet this post I actually didn't even really see the cakes...laughing way ouuutt over here...thanks for the best Sunday Sweets of All Times - because you make them sweetest!
I have to confess that I stopped looking at the cakes to read your comments instead :)
Best post ever! One of my favorite lines from Clue! Now I have to watch it! And I got the Ghostbusters right away and of course Princess Bride.
"Even if you were right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one. Not one plus two plus one plus one"
Ok, I have to admit... I just read the comments. I had to go back to actually *look* at the pictures!
Great post!
I agree with your friend, usually I look at the sunday posts just for the pretty cakes. I say usually. Today I only noticed the first cake, I missed all the others because of the hilarious quotes. Thank you for cheering up my morning!
Bless you. Bless you for that last quote.
Those were some of the most beautiful cakes I've ever seen!
Filibuster > cakes.
Sunday Sweets always ranked a little low on my list, because yeah the cakes were pretty, but I read CW for the humor and the coffee on my computer keyboard. The combo of bad cakes and amazing commentary is the best.. until of course you get amazing cakes and filibuster commentary :)
Thanks for a nice change-up!
I have laughed and enjoyed so many of your posts, but your CLUE reference made me realize that we should be friends! Love your blogs!
