Patty Cakes

Ah, the many faces of St. Patrick's Day...

Seamus' shame:

You know, bakers, if we don't stop glorifying smoking with all these sexy baked goods, the kids will never stop sneaking their pipe tobacco into school.

Wee Willy of the Explosive Facial Hair wishes you a St. Patty's Day:

Not a happy one, though. Wee Willy is too small-minded for that.

Next we have our regular guest star:

Well, howdy, Doody.

And finally, there's...uh...this guy:

My gosh, it's full of clovers!

Jen: Actually, those are shamrocks, not clovers. Didn't you read yesterday's post?

Oh, sorry, my bad.

Careful now, Jesse, Jennifer R., Shinpai, Caroline S., & Chris; I hear watching a Cloverfield can make you sick. Shamrock fields are fine, though.

I'm Looking Over My Wrecked Up Clover

Saint Patrick's day is this week, and to celebrate, Wreckerators are clearly getting into the Irish spirit. (And by "spirit," I mean "Guinness.")

Shamrock Clover Reference Photo:

(Because by the end of this post, you'll have no IDEA what one looks like.)

First up, "Oscar Lends a Hand:"

Ouch.

"Wasted Windmills:"

The care.
The precision.
The...triangle thingies.

"What Target considers print-worthy:"

I don't usually call out specific bakery chains, but c'mon, Target. Really?

[Seth: Really?]
[Amy: Really! Really?]
[Seth: I mean, Reeeeally.]

"Something Vaguely Obscene on Something Vaguely Hat-Like:"

Never mind, Target. All is forgiven.

"The Right Hook:"

Why do they always curve to the right?

"The Sham...WOW":

You following this, camera guy?

Yeah, me neither.

"The Thing I'm Told is a Shamrock But I'm Not Buying It:"

And from the looks of things, neither is anyone else.

Maia G., Meg K., Lori B., Carrie M., Misty B., Trisha D., & Alex, I want you to know that my little Guinness joke does NOT mean I think Irish people are all alcoholics, and I would hate to have any of you lovely Irish readers think that. Especially considering your hair-trigger tempers and all.

UPDATE: Today I learned that there is a difference between clovers and shamrocks. As I understand it from your comments, clovers can have either 3 or 4 leaves, but shamrocks can only have three Epcots. [nodding seriously] Good to know, good to know.
