Another Open Apology To Canada

So last week we had this troll in the comment section who wouldn't go away, forcing me to actually block someone for the first time ever.

(For those who don't know: a "troll" is someone who leaves inflammatory comments just to get a rise out of people. Things like, "Hitler rocked!" or "Grammer is stoopid" or "That poo pile looks scrumptious!")

NOT SCRUMPTIOUS.

So anyway, while I was in the process of blocking the troll, I kinda sorta accidentally blocked most of Canada.

The country.

Bwoops. 

In this context "shool" is Canada. Try to keep up.

Fortunately I noticed my mistake right away... a couple of days later.

But all is fixed now and I feel terrible about it so today's post is for you, Canada. Because we love you. And we love beaver tails. And poutine. And learning that pronouncing "poutine" like "poo-TAN" can get you in a lot of trouble. ("Excuse me, do you know where I can get some fresh poo-tan? Miss? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? And what's the pepper spray foOWWWAAUUUGGHHH!!")

(Really, Canada, whoever named your signature foods had their minds seriously close to the gutter.)

Now, where were we?

Oh, right: apologizing.

HIT IT, NON-EXISTENT BOYS!

Ooooohoohoo!
Canada, baaaaby...
I'm sorry, girl...

Well-dressed back up singers: "Heeeeee's reallyreallysorry SHOOP SHOOP!"

I'm sorry for, like, taking away your Cake Wrecks for two full days, baby.

"Neeeearly forty-eight hours SHOOP SHOOP!"

I know I work on a computer all day, girl, but sometimes even an expert can make a mistake.

"Heeeee's an expert in cat .gifs SHOOP SHOOP!"

But I know you put your trust in me, girl, and I know I can't give you all those hours back.

"Yooooouuu pro'ly got lots of work done SHOOP SHOOP!"

But if you give me another chance, Canada, girl, I promise I will wreck your world. Yeah. 'Cuz, Canada, baby?

(You may think it's a lie, but it's not.)

Thanks to Ted S., Allison S., Michelle M., Sara B., Ree P., Anony M., & Whitney B. for backing me up on this one. That synchronized snapping was STELLAR, you guys.

Er, what's up? I know this was posted before, and I know because I remember commenting to this same piece, "We're sorry you blocked us. D:"

We were informed that 2017 would be the year of Cakewrecks reruns, and I have asked myself since this year began, "Haven't I seen this one before?" but I wasn't sure of it like I am now. I don't think you're running out of material, but I was just wondering, are things okay? Is anyone sick? I hope not. I just wanted to make sure you're both okay.

[mindy1]

It's too bad about the shool cake. Other than that, it's actually cute. :D

[suzied]

How in earth do you block a COUNTRY?? Oh and thanks for the heads up on pronouncing poutine..Honest.

[Ima]

Actually, the Canadian Flag leaf is well drawn. I need the "Sorry I'm so Stupid" cake in my life.

[Mary Beth]

Now I really want to see the troll posts.

[LisaP]

You can pick your friends. And you can pick your nose. But I wouldn't pick my friend's nose. And with that, I'm blowing outta here!

[Sara]

I’m sitting in an airport waiting area laughing like an idiot....

[sendingtheclowns]

Shool's out already?
...kinda 'splains a thing or two, eh?
=^-.-^=

[WanneK]

Usually its’s us saying sorry

[Meadra]

Bea, they started it on May 19 last year, so I'd assume that new posts will start up after the 19th this year.

[Chas]

So what IS the proper way to pronounce "poutine" anyway?

[Jnell]

OMG. Meadra, you’ve finally explained my recurring Cake Wrecks Deja Vu syndrome. I’m not actually going crazy after all! Well, at least this isn’t one of the symptoms.

[KathyfromCanada]

The correct way to to pronounce poutine is pooh teen. At least in my English speaking part of the Maritimes. I've heard it pronounced Pooh tin in French speaking NB.

[Nobodee Home]

Bea and Meandra - I'm ready for new posts, too. The old ones are great, but I think we've missed some golden opportunities for wrecks in the past almost-year.

[Shannon]

The war between how it it pronounced is "Poo-TIN" and "Poo-TEEN". French Canadians lean to tin, and since it is french that's probably right, but being firmly from Ontario we have always said it with 'teen' and I do not feel like changing it at this point in the game....

[tapping Mike] Mike: Hey watch it, I've got my eye on you! Stop poking me or I'll have Sulley here put you back where you came from so hard ... Oh hey! We were just practicing ... a play! Yeah, the company play! It's a musical! *bum bum bum oompah oompah* Nothing to see here folks. Heheh.

[Arlene Marie]

Well I think that second to last cake with the pretty roses fixes everything. That last cake just made me laugh til I cried lol.

[Craig T]

I really like the Mars Attacks! cake.

[Francois]

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's actually "poo-tsin" with a short "oo." If you said "poo-tin" to me, I would mock you mercilessly. Well, I don't know you personally, but if I did, I would.

[Mike]

I didn't know Megamind was Canadian.

[The One who remains nameless]

I'm not Canadian but I play one on TV.

Don’t worry about pronouncing poutine wrong, pepper spray is illegal in Canada.
