THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
December 18, 2012 Just one week left 'til Christmas (!!), and the wrecks you guys are sending in just keep getting more bizarre by the day:
;)
THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW.
;)
"...and all the acid rain and pollution seeped into Frosty's body, turning him into a petrified statue of ash, all because someone didn't take out the recycling when his parents asked.
"THE END."
;)
Is this:
A) The Eye of Sauron
B) A taco wearing a corset
C) The Eye of Sauron wearing a corset
or
D) Real life?
You might think the simplest, easiest option would be an elegant red bow on a plain white cake.
;)
But, CLEARLY, you would be wrong.
(What did the baker use for a piping tip? His teeth?)
This next one is tentacly titled "I'm dreaming of a Cthulhu Christmas."
;)
Darkly dreaming, of course.
Wondering what those are supposed to be? So was I, until Sarah sent in this photo from a different store:
;)
(Yes, yes, I know it's supposed to be a tree. I just refuse to accept it.)
And finally, a little holiday math for you:
+
=
;)
Angels we have heard below
Softly singing "oh-hh noooOooo!"
Thanks to wreckporters Elizabeth T., Tina, Gene H., Jill W., Billy G., Sarah L., & Amy V. for giving Sharyn a starting point for today's song re-write in the comments. (Challenge: ISSUED.)

#1 A practice target for Theadare!
SuBee, The Mayans predicted Cthulu's rising! Lol.
Sharyn, Outside my work, Christmas music has been on a loop to the point where I don't want to hear it anymore, which makes me sad. Thank you for giving me a new song to listen to in my head!
Jen: You rock.
And, clearly Santa is the Abominable Snowman, duh!
As a fan of PSYCH, all I could think when I saw that third picture was, "Why, yes, I am a fan of delicious flavor!" Still, I'm not sure I'd want to touch any of these . . . creations (?) with "a 39 1/2 foot pole."
I live in the state of New Mexico. (Yes, people, NM is one of the 50 states!) But I also live in the state of confusion at the decorating "skills" of some people. Zozobra means "anxiety" in Spanish. Yep, I'm definitely feeling it looking at these wrecks. And, I also see a rock star dancing poodle with jazz hands on the first one.
Green tentacles = grinch fingers, for sure. They look more like an old school Star Trek monster though.

.......aaaaaand thanks, Jen, for turning a mere cake wreck into an 'exciting' visual! Only YOU could have done it!
Excuse me now, I feel a sudden desire to toss my cookies......specifically, I want to toss the 'Eye of Sauron in a Corset" cookie-cake into heavy vehicular traffic.
@Craig's write-in campaign:
Don't forget Poets Laureate: Haiku Joy and Sharyn!

I'm getting a Don Johnson vibe from Disco Sheep. I think it's the shades and the pose...
You say "Eye of Sauron in a corset," I say "lovely artistic interpretation of the DNA double helix in the nucleus of a cell." I think I've been grading too many papers...
See, I looked at the first one and saw an early version of Iceman from the X-Men when he was in his "snowman" phase - before he learned to turn himself to ice. He even wore silly little boots. This is obviously his Christmas attire. It's not the best photo of him, but here's a link:

I like him better dressed as a snowman:

I'm gonna go with E, Eye of Sauron wearing a corset in real life.
Thank you so much for the new song, Sharyn!
@ char haas
Maybe another Tom Smith song would be approprite for # 5 & 6. "Cthulhu Lite FM". Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be on his freebies site.
Thank you for bringing so much joy to my life. Cake Wrecks is why the internet was invented.
