Just Beachy
July 29, 2009 It's summer, the perfect time of year to head out to the seashore and soak up all the natural wonders the beach has to offer.
You know, like the native wildlife:
The clear blue skies,
The majestic palm trees,
The completely family-friendly blue-lined mushroom thingies,
And of course all the great sea life:
Hey Sue S., Sharon, Alyska B., Sharon R., & Anony M., you know what's pastier than a Minnesotan in January? A Floridian in July. Yep. Now shut the door and hand me my sweater; you're letting all the cold air out.

Soooooo- am I the only one who noticed that the Tsunami Palm Tree fronds are, uh, "ribbed for Her pleasure"?? And in neon green ...
I dunno, the "clear blue skies" one kinda amuses me, somehow. Not only are the flip-flops hovering perpendicular to the sand, they're half as tall as the umbrella. Those must be some big feet that go in those.
And even if those fish are laying on top of the waves, at least they're in better condition than the fish in that last cake. :P
the first one looks more like a pink http://www.kenyabirds.org.uk/b-crested_bustard.htm" rel="nofollow">Bustard than a Flamingo!
That last one....Ummm...I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Maybe not so little.
The blue mushroom one looks more like its a large shortbread / cookie than a cake. Is this another mockery of the true meaning of "a cake" like CCCs are?

Is it just me or does that cake actually say sunmertime instead of summertime? There don't seem to be enough humps for it to be two m's.
That's what I noticed, too (except for me I read it as "sumnertime").
I'm so disappointed I couldn't send in a picture of a terrible cake I won in a cake walk at the local(and very very small) carnival that the town I go to school in hosts each year. It looked more like a fullview of a panda head rather than batman, were it not for the "Batman" text. If only I hadn't deleted it off my phone!
Oh, dear. What in the name of all that's holy happened to that fish? Dreadful.
That fish one at the end nearly made me throw up. GROSS!!
Fish! SCREAMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
I have a phobia. @_______@
What flavor yellow cake is, you ask? Basically, vanilla but richer because you leave the egg yolks in, unlike with white cake where you use only the eggwhites in making it.
'course, you can always add lemon extract.
In the first cake, Why is the flamingo slurping up the sea?
Ha. So true about Floridians. As an extremely pasty Floridian, I only go outside to get in the car.
Oh, and that fish was TERRIFYING.
I submitted the blue lined mushroom thingy - it actually says 'Sumnertime fun!" :)
Since when do flamingos live on the beach?
Personally, the second cake is reminiscent of childhood days spent at the beach in very polluted parts of Southern California. All the smog would turn the sky from blue to a gross white-yellow color. It's a little better these days, I've heard, but I've moved to the East coast and have no intention of returning.
The "clear blue sky" cake is clearly a beach in close proximity to Los Angeles. OM NOM NOM SMOG.
i love it! The fish looks so retarded!
I thought the last one was a jellyfish complete with tentacles. Not that that would be a whole lot better...
Then I saw the eyes and the mouth -- things your standard jellyfish lacks. Why does it have eyes and a mouth? How the wreck did it get so shiny, and what is 'leaking' onto the cake proper? How accurately does this cake follow the concept? What drugs or condition led to the development of the concept?
I think wreckerators should form a band and stage an international charity concert. They could call it Diet Aid. The logo could be that last wreck.
It looks like the palm tree on the 3rd one is about to get hit by a tsunami. - So True lol ;) xx
