Olaf Heats Things Up
July 21, 2014 [Olaf:] "Oh, I don't know why but I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot...
;)
[Kristoff:] "Really. I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat."
[Olaf:] "Nope! But sometimes I like to close my eyes, and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come."
♪ Bees'll buzz ♫
;)
...kids'll blow dandelion fuzz,
;)
(hurk)
♪ And I'll be doing whatever snow does...
;)
In summer!
♪ A drink in my hand,
;)
my snow up against the burning sand
;)
♪ Prob'ly getting gorgeously tanned...
;)

We've been watching Frozen all weekend, and I've had the WORST earworm, so I think I'll share...
Do you want to wreck a snowman?
Frost a bee that's not OK?
I'm never eating anymore
Watch out for spores
Will the snowman melt away?
I need a drinking buddy
'Cause now it's hot
It's hard to watch Olaf fry.......
Let's all go out and buy sunscreen
Lots and lots and lots of sunscreen
My, oh my.
The bee is dressed like a French apache dancer, in a striped shirt and beret.
Why does Elsa (?) (Sorry, I haven't seen the movie) have a parade of geriatric, white-spined hedgehogs falling off her head?
I'm getting a little jaded by how bad wrecks can be--I looked at "tan" Olaf and thought, "Hmm, the shape's not too bad."
"Let's all go out and buy sunscreen
Lots and lots and lots of sunscreen"
Luckily there's that Wandering Oaken's big summer blowout!
Poor "Elsa". I'm really hoping there were a few more cupcakes there that were eaten by the time this picture was taken. No? Well, it's would have been horrific either way.
I know a woman named Margarite. Trust me, no one who knows her would be celebrating "Margarite Time".
What is "queue music"? Is it the stuff they play in stores to drive you nuts while you wait in line?
[Editor's note- Ha! That's why I get for trying to be all fancy with my words n' stuff. I appricate the assistants. -john (thoJ)]
Lol@ sharyn. I think drug testing should be mandatory for bakery employees O_o
Frosting the Snowman
Frosting the snowman with a hefty SPF
From head to toe all around we go
As we sing in tenor clef
Frosting the snowman is a waste of time they say
No matter how strong it’ll still be wrong
And the guy will melt away
There must have been some magic in that ol’ Coppertone they found
For when they placed it on his snow
He began to dance around
Oh
Frosting the snowman
Got him as tan as you and me
And the children say, “Can you come
And play with Anna and Elsa and me?”
Thumpity thump thump
thumpity thump thump
Look at Olaf go
Thumpity thump thump
thumpity thump thump
That guy is made of snow!
Olaf the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day
So he said
“Let’s run and
We’ll have some fun
As I get tan today!”
Down to the village
With a Margarita in his hand
Running here and there all
Around the square playing
In the sun-warmed sand.
He led them down the streets of town
He didn’t want to stop
And he only paused a moment for
His sweaty brow to mop
For Olaf the snowman
Was having a great day
And when the day was done
He said “Goodbye”
I’ll be back the very next day!”
Thumpity, thump thump
Look at Olaf go
Thumpity thump thump
Thumpity thump thump
That guy is made of snow!
* * * * * *
Dramatic Poetic Coda:
Then Olaf made a fatal error
The snowman’s final mistake
To remove the oily SPF
A shower he did take.
As the hot water came a-pouring out
It fell like red-hot rain
And soon all ‘twas left of poor ol’ Olaf
Was circling the drain….
Hilariousness levels: fifty-five-thousand.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy cakes of summer
Those cakes of Olaf and beret wearing bees
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy cakes of summer
Dust off that one and melt one then drink a margarite
Just avoid the burning sand or you might get charred
Then lock yourself in the house, please
Just how did Elsa loose half her face, I think I’m scarred
And her creepy eyes are following me
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy cakes of summer
You'll wish that Winter quite soon will be here
Jen, Sharyn, Mel, all those who submitted the pictures, THANK YOU! I laughed so hard tears ran, and so did the dogs. Black (can I say that?) Olaf is priceless!
That seventh cake is clearly meant to be Olaf. Why, why would anyone make him dark gray or black? Working from a photo negative?
Did anyone else see "Wilson" from Cast Away in the orange thing-whatever-that-was? I looked at it and my mind immediately screamed "Willlsoooonnnnn!!!!!" (The scene where the volleyball gets away) If you have not seen that movie, then this all seems random and scary. Sorry about that.
Hurrah and kudos to all our resident song parodists and poets!
The charcolified Olaf made me laugh! The Elsa cake has the hair down perfectly, but what's with the crazy eyes!?
In the sun ccc (ptooey!) I thought the sunglasses were a bikini top...which led me to wonder what on earth was wrong with th "bottom," especially when considering the red area!
@Robin: Now that you say it, I DO see Wilson. Glad he landed safely!
In the third cake, is that dandelion fuzz? Or dandelion poo? Actually, it looks like the never-ending cotton from our cottonwood trees that's clogging our air conditioners and making our lawns look like the were attacked by exploding quilts.
Great post and great comment as always from Sharyn as well. Lol! Not sure I will hear either song the same way again :)
That charcoal snowman is scary right there lol. Why? Because, it's a current cake. That's a Wal-Mart cake, price changed 2-3 weeks ago lol. Scary. Stick to the design lol, all I can muster up. Wow.
anyone else see the clown from the Simpsons in the first pic?
Loved "Frosting the Snowman"!
are those fruitsnack buttons on #4 (melting snowman)?!? Not the FRUITSNACK buttons! ::said as Gingie on Shrek::
Again with that stupid song!!! You're trying to kill me, right?
@Robin ~ I see Wilson, too!
Who in their right mind thinks making a black snowman is a good idea??? Oh. Wait. We're talking about wreckoraters here. I forgot where I was for a second. Carry on...
On cake #4, do you suppose all of that snowman is made of frosting. As someone who really likes frosting, I got a little sick just looking at it.
Who's going to start the petition to make CCCs illegal on the grounds that they are horrible and never look like anything normal. My favorite is the added pleasure of icing all over the bottom of the wrapper. As usual, the comments are nearly my favorite part and today was no exception. Well done everyone, well done :)
Is that last cupcake cake supposed to be Paula Deen?
Hmmm...I just realized it would be even funnier if the blackened Olaf were yellow instead!
TLC, that is the BEST description of cottonwood fuzz that I've ever encountered! It does indeed look like quilts exploded all over my neighborhood when that stuff is out in the spring. I'm extremely allergic to it, so it really bugs me.
@ mindy1, who said: " I think drug testing should be mandatory for bakery employees":
~~~
Huh. (And here I was, thinking that maybe mandatory drug TAKING would improve the status quo in the "quality" department...)
=^-.-^=
How is that last one a wreck? It's almost a photo-realistic image of Adele Dazeem...
i may be weird but i really like the melting snowman cake - it really made me laugh.
@ms anthrope: you're welcome... this is the place to come for a hard laugh...I've gotten many here myself....
@Kim: thanks...I'm glad you enjoyed it....
@sendingtheclowns: good to see you again.....!
I had no idea the US's obesity epidemic extended to snowmen. Poor grotesquely bloated Olaf....
I have to comment on the bee in a beret... Not because I have anything useful to say about it, but because I just like saying "bee in a beret"! =-)
Love this blog!
Lol I have yet to see Frozen but judging from these wrecks it looks like a wonderfully scary movie lol. Wow what a way to turn a snowman into Mr. Hanky. Bleh.
Is that first cupcake actually supposed to be Olaf? I'm also lost on the 6th wreck down. It looks like a pair of orange soot sprites got electrocuted.
@mel~
I thank you kindly, dear sir! I've been through a bit of a bramble patch. Life goes skipping along as always, but sometimes it just needs to stick its foot out and trip us up, as a reminder to pay more attention...
Moisturize me!
I love that the "Proudly decorated by" space on the Black Olaf cake seems to have been covered with stickers to protect the wreckorator's identity.
Once again I love the cakes set to the original song lyrics. And the songs in the comments are hilarious. You guys all make my day.
Some bakers should never get ahold of airbrushes.....
Cough Olaf cough
This. . .
http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-boston-snow-pile-20150528-story.html
. . . is what happens when snow gets a 'tan'.
That first one looks more like a melting Homer Simpson than Olaf!
Literally laughing my head off!!!!!
