Flakes Welcome

"Hi, I'd like a cake, please, and could you put a 'happy birthday' plaque on it?"

"No, no, I mean one of those plastic things on a spike - you know, a 'happy birthday' pick?"

"Maybe we should start over."

"Could you write, 'Over the Hill' or 'Officially OLD' or something like that? This is for my husband, so it's ok if it's borderline rude."*

"What the...? What is WRONG with you people? Look, my husband usually gets pie for his birthday, so I promised him that THIS year he'd get a REAL birthday cake..."

"I WASN'T FINISHED."

"But wow, you guys are fast."

[rubbing temples] "Look, I give up. Could you just give me a cake - any cake? No writing. Just grab one out of the case and hand it to me. Please."

"Which one? Oh, I don't care...how about the one with the chocolate flakes on it? Yes, that one. Yes, the flake. Thank you."

Oh, like you didn't see THAT coming.

*Actual dialogue Angela R. used while ordering this cake.

P.S. I made a fun Grinch 'bound for the holidays last year, and on a whim bought this fuzzy heart purse to go with it:

Fluffy Faux Fur Crossbody Heart Bag

Y'all. Y'ALL. This purse is chinchilla soft - I couldn't stop petting it! -  surprisingly roomy, and only $11. Grab it now for Valentines, and I bet you'll be busting it out year-round.

Note from john- Just to be clear, it is Meat Week. However, we are only honoring this great and glorious tradition today. Partly because we don't have anymore meat photos but also because ew. -john

P.S. In this context, would a shoulder massager count as a meat tenderizer?

Shiatsu Shoulder Massager

:D

Because listen, ever since I bought this thing 2 years ago, everyone who's tried it has turned into a puddle of contented goo. My Disney puppeteer friends are its biggest fans; people using and wrecking muscles most of us don't even know we have. I keep buying more of these as gifts!

This massager can actually bruise if you're not careful; it's got serious power for even rock-hard knots, and you can use it on your entire back. (I hold it diagonally to get below the shoulder blades, and around my waist for the lower back.) Highly recommend!
