Say Something Nice

Today seems like a good day to say something nice!

Aaaand... GO.

Aw, so sweet!

Well, I do try.

WHOA THERE COWBOY.

You know, this doesn't have to be about ME.

How about saying nice stuff to other people, too?

Yeah, good one, Michelle!

Let's hear it for all the "Not Dramks" out there!

(And the definitely drunk decorators!)

And finally... awww, YOU GUYS...

[blush] ...how'd you even KNOW about that?

Thanks to Constance D., Ashley G., Brittany U., Michelle M., Lola K., & J.M. for always knowing just what to say.

PS - Looks like someone over at the local Cookie Shop knows that if you can't say anything nice...

...you should at least make it really funny.

P.S. We like floofs here, yes?

This is our cat Suki, and she luuuuurves these sticks so much I figured I should tell y'all about them.

Silvervine Cat Chew Sticks

If your cats don't react to catnip, try these; they're branches from a different plant with the same effect. My cats happen to love both, but I prefer Silvervine since the sticks are less messy than loose catnip, plus help clean their teeth.

Even better, a 10-pack of sticks is only $6, and they last forever. It's been 2 years and I'm still on my second pack. Every couple months I'll scrape off a little bark to expose more of the wood underneath, which freshens the effect; the cats are EXTRA interested afterward. (The sticks have no smell for humans, btw.) Highly, HIGHLY recommend for your feline friends.

10 Painfully Punny Wrecks For Dad's Day

Now, you guys KNOW I love puns, but around Father's Day bakers start cranking out a veritable plethora of pastry puns sure to make even the toughest dad cry, "What's THAT supposed to mean?"

It starts out cute:

"Reel great!" With a fish! Haha!

Then it gets awkward:

"Yep, mom's one lucky lady to land you, IF you know whadda... ok now I'm grossing myself out."

Then confusing/borderline insulting?

Not sure calling Dad "a hole" in ANY context is good.

But then it just gets desperate:

"Not to bee that guy, but this cake gives me hives."

"Because sometimes we take you for granite!"

[head tilt]

"Or for cow spots."

Moo-ving on...

Then there are all the missed opportunities. I mean, c'mon, bakers:

Why doesn't this say, "Let's get hammered!!" WHY?!

Fun Fact: Have you noticed puns make bakers - yes, all of them! - forget how to spell "you're?"

Now, can I borrow twenty bucks?

...by which I mean you are SUCH a drag.

Maybe if you spin around long enough it'll look like a top.

There are two ways this next pun could have worked. Thankfully, the baker missed both of them:

There are FOUR. DADS!

(You're welcome, TNG fans.)

And last but not least, my favorite bad pun of all:

If your mind immediately went to a disturbingly gory place with this cake, then congratulations. WE CAN BE FRIENDS.

Yep, not only would I buy this cake, I would pay extra for a few red gel splatters on the cake board.

(Uh, because I get my warped sense of humor from my dad, not because I want to saw him up. Honest. HI, DAD.)

Thanks to Aneela Q., Christopher W., Nicole J., Elisabeth K., Ashley B., Jen W., Brooke D., Megan Z., Elena E., Tracy M., & Cindy K. for sawing what I did there.
