Let’s all take a break from deploring Russia and take a look at the Cake Wrecks blog.
Who knew that cake-decorating mishaps could be so darn amusing?
UPDATE (by Karl): At the risk of posting more of Mr. WAC’s former confections, I tender the following:

These are probably cakes that were decorated in Georgia and sabotaged by Russian sympathizers!

I think “It a Gril” is Russian for “Former Soviet Satellites Will Be Conquered for the Glory of Greater Russia!”

Anonymous is me, by the way.

I think “It a gril” is a celebration of new decorative orthodontia.

That It A Gril cake was for MY baby.
No kidding. Note the icon behind it and the gold runner underneath. That’s on my Mother-in-Law’s bookcase.
Wow.

Wait.. seriously, WAC?
August 19th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Yep. That’s mine. We had a good laugh and took the picture, but I don’t know who posted it to the other blog. Maybe one of my sisters-in-law, or one of the guests.
But that you chose it as an example for our little blog . . . . weird.

In fact, I remember that someone had removed one piece of candied fruit to prepare to cut the cake when I said “We should really get some pictures of this!”
And note the missing piece of fruit.
I have at least a dozen witnesses who will attest to that being our cake.

Heh, that’s crazy. I laughed out loud when I saw it on the Cake Wrecks blog. I hope it was delicious!

Mr. WAC,
You don’t happen to remember if the cake was decorated in Georgia, do you?
August 19th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
No, it was from a company called “The French Confectioner” which (evidently) employs Salvadorian Decorators. We decided not to complain, because we figured it would cost someone his job.

Always easier to tease than to take a stand, eh Karl?
August 19th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
I was only trying to find out for sure where the cake came from before I made any definitive pronouncements on it. It did seem like a commie plot to me. And, given the French-ness of its origination, I suppose the commie angle can’t completely be ruled out. Nonetheless, I maintain this requires more investigation before one can fully commit himself to a position. It may seem like teasing, but I prefer to think of it as being careful and responsible.

Well, at least you are carefully weighing your options and putting in sufficient research!
August 19th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Here are some other topics on which I feel confident to take a stand:
Vin Scully talks too much.
The Cubs are superior in every way to any NL West team. (AND the Cardinals in case Willmoore was about to chime in).
Obama is not really the Messiah (but don’t tell him that).
Russians are evil.
We have a serious Islam problem.
We need more Sheriff Joes.
People who instinctively blame America suck.
Pineapple upsidedown cake is vastly superior to any other flavor of cake.

And just for the record, I will take a stand on the following list of sports from best to worst:
1. Baseball (any level)
2. NFL football
3. IRL/F-1 racing
4. NASCAR racing
5. Men’s College basketball
6. College football
7. NHL hockey
8. Soccer
9. NBA basketball
So, there you have it, the OFFICIAL list of sports in descending order of awesomeness.

Is it random day?
August 19th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Viva randomness!
Teams with most annoying fan base:
1. Cubs
2. Red Sox
3. Yankees
4. Bears
5. Patriots
Honorable mention: Cardinals. We need to quit proclaiming ourselves the “best fans in baseball.” That’s stupid.
August 19th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Oh, don’t forget the SF Giants!
August 20th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
I nominate the poor masses who continue to support the biggest organized crime syndicate in Texas, the Dallas Crackwagon.
August 21st, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Cripes, I can’t believe I forgot about Cowboys fans. We might have to slot them in at #4.
Man, I still can’t get over the fact that that’s Mr. WAC’s cake. It’s mind-boggling!
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:06 am
I guess since we’re calling out fan bases, here’s my list:
1. Red Sox
2. Patriots
3. Cardinals
4. White Sox (Low-life scumbags, one and all)
5. Braves (Tomahawk chop? C’mon)
6. Bears (especially when they congregate at the BW3’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan…you know who you are).
I will give an honorable mention to University of Texas Longhorns fans with their stupid hand signals and complete disdain for any conference that is not the SEC.
