Giving Wrecks a Bad Name
May 24, 2011 Parents, if you don't want to risk bruised feelings on their birthdays, I suggest you NOT name any of your children "Cubby":
Or "Angus":
("Why, I declare, I didn't know it was the Colonel's birthday!")Or "Ritchie":
And don't even *think* about "Bobby":
(Got milk?)Or, heaven forbid, "Trudi":
And while you're at it, you'd better avoid pet names like "honey bunny," too:
In fact, maybe you should just leave names off your cakes all together. That way, nothing can go wrong.
I rest my case.Thanks to wreckporters Laura R., Lacey C., Trisha A., Brian C., Kirsten H., Kelly N., & Erica for the name-calling.

As an atheist, I have requested that the last cake be served at my funeral.
From now on before I shoot someone (in video games of course ) I will say good by bitchie go to the worm infested nothingnes of the 7th cake !
Ha Ha. Such nice penmanship and flowers on some of those too.
WV: ingsted
All happily ingsted those wreckified cakes. Looks bad, but tastes good (hopefully).

They asked for "nothing" and obviously received it in abundance! Great customer service!
wv:vangiona - lady parts
@ donna - yeah for the rocky horror reference!
WV: homigh: OMG phonetically with an accent
Actually, I think Angus got lucky with Ingus...I was quite sure they were going to leave the G out of that name....
Ha! Good SNL reference... one of my favorite Christopher Walken skits :)
Looks like a couple of good ol' fashioned Freudian slips... I wonder what the Wreckerators for the "Chubby" and "Booby" cakes were thinking about...
Given the plops of poop-like frosting on Turdi's cake, not to mention what could be fecal spray on the left of the cake, well, maybe this really is for Turdi.....

I was never so embarassed in my LIFE than the time we went to the Red Lobster in Atlanta, GA when I was a teenager. My maiden name is "FUSCO". Please to not the relative positions of the "S" and the "C". When our name hadn't been called after 45 minutes of waiting and some extremely uncomfortable stares by the hostesses, I was the one relegated to the task of finding out just what the wait was all about. Can you guess why they didn't call our name over the loudspeaker? Anyone? Bueller?
Because they had written it down FU*C*S*O. And they were afraid to try and pronounce it.
I'm so glad my last name is Suluh. Because that's a HARD one to screw up. Unless you're a travel agent in the post 9/11 world and you enter it as "Sul*A*h". Which is why I tell people "Like the dude on Star Trek. SULU. SOO LOO".
Signed,
The girl who is suck a Trek Geek that she married Suluh.
wv: adamm
Mispronouncing and misspelling my last names has been adamm problem my whole life.
The booby cake... is that cupcake...on a cake?
Tee Hee Happy Birthday Chubby.... NICE!!!!
WV: sleuts, the heavier version of a slut *shrugs shoulders*
LMAO - One of the greatest SNL skits of all time :) Like someone else said - changing the 'a' to 'i' is MUCH better than forgetting the 'g'!
My parents, in an excess of giddiness at their first child AND having watched far too many Flintstones cartoons, used to call me "Grand Royal Purple Pooh-Bah". However, for most of my life, they shortened that to "Pooh-Bah", "Pooh-Bear" (getting their cartoons mixed up), or just "Pooh". Even as a grown woman, I STILL answer to this. I shudder to think what these people would do with such a nickname.
Colonel Ingus!?! Love it, glad I had finished my coffee for the morning!
wv: ringie...my ears are a little ringie after all that turdi icing
Ahehehe good god some people are dumb
Macgyver's first name is Angus. Does that outweigh the risks and general non-coolness of the name? 'Cause I think it might...
The flowers are so and writing are well done. Someone is very talented.
Nothing still gets me. :p
mmmmmmmmmmmmm...seems like birthday cakes with a loads of chocolate and crunch.
Ritchie's cake scares me. :-S
*whispering* with all those squiggly lines and shaky writing, it looks a little crazy. And the way it's saying "Good Bye", it's just creepy....
Andrea
Not that Turdl isn't a fabulous wrekkie, but it is just possibly a misspelling of the name Trudl, a rather Germanic version of N. American "Trudy"....or not...
Make me laugh! omg ... too funny!
Got milk??? hahahahahahahahahaha
Please someone tell me what WV: (random misspelled word) refers to! Please and spanks you! :-)
Loved how the "Turdi" cake has the little balls of poo on it!
I mean WOW it really got the "point" across!
That was pretty damn funny!!!
@ ninja dude - very appropriate and funny.
I'm starting to wonder if these cakes aren't being made intentionally. If not, I apologize to bitchie and booby if I hurt their feelings.
:)
Hahaha!! Colonel Angus - One of the greatest SNL skits of all time! 10 points for Jen!
My cat's name was Cubby... I guess this is why kitties don't celebrate with cake.
wv: peadis- man parts!
@ mizdarlin - I thought the point was that someone had misspelled "Trudi" with most unfortunate (except for us Wreck lovers) consequences . . .
And speaking of that cake, your warnings are a little too late: my brand new neice has been saddled with the name Trudi. At least it's a middle name, or that poor girl would be facing being called "Turdi" from second grade through middle school. If only this post had been up a week ago!
At least "Angus" didn't have the "g" dropped....
Hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. The literally out-loud laugh.
wv: digno
I digno you named your little girl Turdi!
Haaa!! How funny these are!
@ Anon: "Please someone tell me what WV: (random misspelled word) refers to! Please and spanks you! :-)"
WV is for Word Verify, the funky little words we have to type in to comment. People are using 'em to be cute/witty.
WV: materiss - When talking about a Wreck, what materiss how much it makes you laugh. Today, lots.
@ Anonymous, wv is word verification. It's the little code word you have to type in to prove that you are human when you comment.
wv: munthri.
A munthri two ago, I didn't know what wv was, either.
Test.
This must be Trudi's turdief birfday.
This reminds me of the whole "Ashlynn" somehow became "Asslynn" debacle.
LOLOLOL @ Colonel Ingus. I love Rachel Dratch.
Oh, I'm so sending today's post to my aunt Trudi! (Yes, I'm evil).
As for "Richie", "Cubby", and "Bobby" I'm wondering... was that a true accident, or was this another case of "innocently" hinting (as with Jenn marring Troy the other week). This may explain why Cubby's cake is only a lame cookie. So if he chows down on the whole thing, it's not as caloric as eating a big slab cake!
And if honey bunny's hubby's horny, that cake makes perfect sense ;)
PS Empress Nina... I can totally relate. Pretty much anyone who's Mother Tongue is English can't pronounce (or spell) my name. The worst mis-spelling was when they got just one letter right (the "l")!
@ninja dude 12, you made my day. I NEED a "Go to the worm infested nothingness of the 7th cake!" t-shirt.
Anonymous- As to WV... for the first few months, I thought it was some hillbilly thing, the way they spelled and pronounced things in West Virginia. It was nice to catch on.
Such a great post (as always)! Made me almost pee my pants!
I have a similar cake mishap from my childhood.
It was my sister's birthday. Her name is Brett.
What was on the cake?
Happy Birthday Brat!
Love the got milk line!!!!
Kudos for the Colonel Ingus reference!
This totally made my day, thanks!!
This post completely made my day. Especially that "Ingus" comment.
As we ponder a name for our child I will now see if it can result in a cake wreck!!
I love a random SNL reference.
