Sesame Scream

[wind whooshing]

[trash can lid rolls noisily down the street]

[tufts of blue and red fur blow by]

Ahem hem hem.

"Suuuuuunny day..."

"Sweeping the clooooouds awaaaaay...."

"Oooon my way to where the
air
is
sweeeeeeeet!"

[mumbled moans and growls]

"Can you tell me how to get..."

"..."

[backing away slowly]

"... how to escape from Sesameeee Streeeeet?"

[whispering] "How to escape from Sesame Street."


Thanks to Michelle M., Abby G., Arelys F. & Anony M. for the Street cred.
(Yeah, yeah, I know the last one isn't cake - but it made me laugh berry much. :P)

Happy Sesame Street Day, muppets and minions!

P.S. I missed this last year, but Hallmark made the SWEETEST 50th anniversary ornament that plays the song and features Big Bird:

Hallmark's Sesame Street Ornament

D'awww, there's a nostalgia blast. Love it.

The Post-Halloween Blues (And Drippy Oranges)

'Twas the week after Halloween,
(Such a sad tale to tell),
Of all the spooptacular cakes
That somehow failed to sell.

Dried up pumpkin donuts,

Poltergeists calling, "Bo bo"

Plus all manner of K-K-Kupcakes

...a definite "No-No."

Runny candy corn noses,

And all things smeary and old,

Is it really a wonder
That this one never sold?

[shudder]

So farewell, poop-kin river,

Farewell, slime-haired wrecks!

And brace yourselves, minions;
Thanksgiving is next.

Thanks to Elizabeth M., Attia S., Kat L., Andrea M., Janet P., Jodee R., Amy W., Chris V., & Amy J. for the spoopy send-off.

P.S. Speaking of Thanksgiving, I found something we all need this year:

Accoutrements Inflatable Turkey
A life-sized, super realistic, inflatable turkey.

The applications are endless, really, but go read the reviews if you need some ideas on what to do with this thing. Or set it up on a mantle wearing a fez and sunglasses! :D
