The Elephant In The Room
January 1, 2010 Did you know that "seeing pink elephants" is a euphemism for drunken hallucinations?
By that logic, I guess seeing dead pink elephants is a euphemism for "the hangover to end all hangovers."
Anyone else think those were open graves at first? (Or the first 10 times you looked at it?)Of course, there are degrees of hangovers, as anyone who's woken up next to a minstrel monkey in Prague can attest. Here I've compiled a handy reference guide to help you decipher what might have happened last night.
If you see this:
Then you may have had one too may shots of "worm-in" tequila.If you see this:
Then I'd blame the lethal combination of purple people eaters and pork rinds while watching Pinocchio. (Seriously, this is not a good idea.)If you see this:
Then you must know my friend Chris! Yeah. Next time, skip the green stuff.And finally, if you see this:
Then I'm afraid what happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas. Mazel Tov!Well, happy New Year, Wreckies! Or failing that, at least have some "Nappy New Yeas"

If the purple six legged things in #3 are supposed to be Octoroks from the Legend of Zelda series, they're a pretty good rendition. Somehow I don't think that's what they were going for tho.
Zippers and Woody must really know how to party!
Oh my gosh. After you all said it, I finally see it - 50! There were pink elephants carousing on giant cookies at my local grocery store on New Year's Eve. I had no idea why. Thanks, Cake Wrecks, for helping me understand that pink elephants on baked goods are not an isolated incident.
Nappy New Yeas, Cake Wrecks!
I must admit, I just saw varying shades of parts of the anatomy best left covered.
The first one a 50? Thanks commenter 1:)
Fun Fact: One of the oldest gay bars in Dallas is called "Zippers" which made the first cake even MORE hilarious.
On the last cake, it doesn't say "yeas". It says Happy New Year. It is just a fancy 'r'. In fact, it is the same way I make my cursive 'r'.
Two questions:
1. Are those purple ticks?
2. Does that clock have two 6's?
WV: juedgt. If you ate one of those cakes, juedget indigestion.
Methinks Sixxlet protests too much.
Oh and P.S. I definitely think the clock maker got confused after the 7 and started counting down for a minute there... "five, six, seven, SIX, uh... NINE!"
So... in the first cake... those aren't open graves then? What are they???
Oh! I see... I had to read in the comments and someone posted the cake is a big number! Now I see it! Who would spend flour, eggs, sugar, etc... to make such horrible cakes??
I think someone named Woody should always try to be best friends with someone named Zippers.
Those open graves look like empty, for those not in the know, sardine cans. Kipper snacks cans for those of us in the know on the Atlantic Coast.
Did anyone else notice that on the first cake it says "from Zippers"?
These cakes are great!
Happy New Years!
Oh yay, just what I needed for my hangover! lol
Did anyone notice there are two sixes on the clock cake?
What on EARTH is that orange thing? I keep coming up with different theories - and none of them are G-rated. :(
I laughed so hard at these. Thanks! I needed that!
"Happy New Yeas"--A 'Sopranos' New Year's cake? 0_o (j/k)
Wow, these frighten me. Especially the one with the 'graves' (I've looked at it more than 10 times and I still can't figure it out). 0_0 Pink elephants also for some reason remind me of "heffalumps and woozles'--scary stuff!!
Jay Leno seems to be a fan, he was showing some wrecks which I first saw here. Congrats on being so influential.
Um, so it's now January 5th, well 6th. I'm going back through as I usually do when I am waiting for the baby to fall asleep, and I just now noticed the the first elephant cake was on a big #50. There was just too much else going on there. I just had to share.
Um, that cake has two 6s on it...
I stared and stared and wondered why no one mentioned the obvious graves cheerfully decorated for those poor little pink elephants to fall into their demise. Then I saw the giant 50 materialize from amid the clutter of silly string.
is it just me or does it say 5, 6, 7, 6, 9, 10?
YEAAS
NAPPY BLOB BLOB!
I would be embarrassed to admit this, but I'm willing to bet other people made the same mistake.
The first aproximate fifteen times I looked at the first picture, I saw a bunch of dead pink elephants lying on weird colored ground near a few open graves. What I didn't see until way, way later was that it's a bunch of dead pink elephants lying on a colorful giant 50. I would say I need new glasses, but oddly, I doubt it.
So, does anyone else think Dumbo has gotten full and total revenge? (You know, for what the pink elephants did when he was hallucinating?)

THe orange phallic symbol has a handlebar mustache!
It's pretty bad when the only recognizable elephants are the drunk ones.
Thanks much for the Wrecky Replay. I had not seen these, and yes, I am crying from laughing so hard at the commentary and comments.
I needed this!
