But Is It "Britney's Boobs and Obama" Good?

Let's all take a moment to appreciate the good Samaritan who fixed this label:

Muuuuch better.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who noticed:

The good news is you can always rip their pudgy little legs off, switch 'em around, and then spend the rest of the party thinking about what you've done.

Speaking of baby showers, Ginny discovered the Carrot Jockeys before they were carrot jockeys:

Yes, those are deviled eggs. And yes, I'm hungry now, too.

At first Jamie balked at the high price of sheet cakes from her local bakery, but she felt better when they told her they'd "customize" the name for free.

MONEY WELL SPENT, am I right, Jamie?

I'm lucky enough to have not one, but TWO friends who are real live mermaids, so kids, trust me when I say growing up isn't so bad. (Pics, cuz it DID happen.)

Anyway, one of those mermaid friends had a birthday last week, and I found the perfect "cake" to celebrate:

Because I think it's supposed to be a mermaid. With no arms.

I mean, you probably got that, but sometimes you guys come here before coffee, so I'm just trying to help. I'll leave it to you to decide if those are eyeballs or eyelashes, though.

And finally, while scrolling through the archives this week I stumbled across another disarming gem I can't believe we've never posted:

It's supposed to be Britney Spears.
(See? HELPING.)

OK, so Busted Britney is a marvel in her own right, but what I really love is how someone at this party thought, "Hey, you know what else this thing needs? A President Obama photo cake."

That's like a whole new standard in party-throwing, my friends. Like, "yeah, cool party, bra, but is it Britney Boobs and Obama good? I don't think so." Because that's a level we can only aspire to.

Thanks to Jess H., Mary Ann M., Ginny D., Jamie, Xian D., & Eva, who never invite me to their wild parties even though I bring my own earplugs, book, and lap cat. YOUR LOSS, party people.

Would it surprise you to learn that boob mousepads are a thing? No? Because I was tempted to link to the Deadpool version, which is hilarious but a bit too NSFW. So instead, please enjoy these squishy Corgi butt designs:

9 Types of People On Zoom, As Illustrated In Cake Wrecks

Tag yourself, I'm a little of #6 and a LOT of #7.

9 Types of People On Zoom, As Illustrated In Cake Wrecks

1)  The One Who Sits Too Close

"I can only see SOME of you, but where are the rest of you? Huh? Who said that? Why is everyone yelling?"

 2) The One Who's Always Eating:

::crunch crunch crunch::

 "Sorry, what was that?"

3) The One Who Just Realized That Yes, Their Mic *WAS* On Just Then

::long, uncomfortable silence::

4) The Parent Who Keeps Insisting "Everything's Fine" While You Hear Children Screaming And Breaking Things Off-Screen

"No, no, go on, keep talking, it's nothing! Aha. Ha. Ha."

5) The One Who Just Followed A Youtube 'Smokey Eye' Tutorial And Is Waiting For Someone To Comment On It:

::fake eyelashes audibly flapping::

6) The One Who Just Rolled Out Of Bed But Is REALLY Trying To Hide It

"NO I'VE BEEN AWAKE FOR HOURS LOOK HOW OPEN MY EYES ARE"

7) The One Whose Cat Keeps Knocking Over Everything

"Dangit, Mr. Floofypants!"

8) The One Who Forgot They Turned On A "Duck Lips" Filter And Doesn't Understand Why Everyone Is Laughing:

"What?"

9) The One You KNOW Isn't Wearing Any Pants

And if they look this happy, probably no bra, either.

Thanks to Meg P., Paul P., Denise, Leila A., Brenna Z., Melody J., Jessica R., Jennifer B., and Anony M. for reminding us that we are all Cookie Monster at some point. Or, at this point, maybe all the points. 

P.S. Proof that #8 was based on a true story:
