And from my other blog, Epbot:

The Spoopy Problem With October Birthdays

A few of you remarked on my use of the word "spoopy" on Epbot, so I'd just like to point out that's totally a thing people say and/or write on cakes:

See?

However.

Like all fun new lingo we youngin's use [WHAT I'M YOUNG], this may confuse some of the less hip, less "with it," less "I have a Tumblr account and I know how to use it" crowd.

 

So just to be clear, bakers, "spoopy" is something you SAY, not something you try to illustrate:

o.0

And you thought having a birthday near a major holiday was crappy.

 

BONUS SPOOPAGE!

To the utter shock of absolutely no one, it turns out I have TWO spoopy birthday ghosts. This one is cuter, but more confusing

I mean, why is the ghost spitting out poopy Junior Mints?

Or wait... WAIT.

Are those... Peppermint Patties?

I can't wait to reblog this on Tumblr once I get an account and figure out how to use it.

 

Thanks to Regina S., Brian M., & Amy S. for the minty fresh spoop.
