Wow, guys. Just...wow. How about that game yesterday, huh? Hoo boy!

Yessir, it would have been hard to predict THAT outcome!

Much like it would have been hard to write this post two days ago because I had to catch up on Brooklyn 99  urgent things to do on Sunday. Or maybe my power went out. It could have. YOU DON'T KNOW. [poker face]

Alright, look, it's long been established that sports fans speak their own language. And I'm not judging! Dude, I once wore a Bajoran earring and Starfleet insignia. TO HIGH SCHOOL. So believe me, I'm not gonna say word one if you guys want to call it the:

Or if you believe you've contracted:

(Just tell me there's no lancing involved. At least not the icky kind. Actual lancing with horses and knights and stuff would be kind of awesome.)

And I'll only snicker a little when you cheer on your:

"Fire at will, Number One! It's evacuating the rear exhaust ports!"

And hey, just because "The kich 15 good" means nothing to me, that doesn't mean I respect you sport people any less!

I'll just respond with a little "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" and we'll call it even!

After all, you guys have your "Patrits:"

 And we have Tribbles and Reavers and Sith lords. (Oh my!)

You score "Toachdowns:"

Or "Tochdowns:"

And we reconfigure the programming on our Kobayashi Marus.

Which, just for the record, is NOT CHEATING.

See what I mean? We're basically all the same! We all have our passions, and our quirks, and sometimes - SOMETIMES - we all make mistakes.

But seriously, guys, I have no idea what you're talking about. Can someone translate this into Klingon for me?

Hey Mary M., Melissa M., Lynn H., Dan H., Erin W., Amber G., Jessica S., Sara J., & Janette R., lupDujHomwIj lubuy'moH gharghmey! So I hope you like sushi.

10 Superb Owl Cakes For Super Bowl Sunday

It's Superb Owl Sunday, y'all!!

Though I have a confession to make: I only go to Superb Owl parties for the food.

(By Crazy Cakes, Czech Republic)

And yes, you can eat this owl. I mean, I suppose technically you could eat ANY owl, but this one is cake and therefore tastes better. Plus, look at the sculpting! The painting! Incredible.

(By Les Sucrés by Rose, Bangkok)

This one is still pondering the ramifications that all owls are technically edible. I like how his eyes glow when he's deep in thought on his Thinking Branch. So cute.

If we're talking superb owls, though, then one clearly flies above the rest:

(By Cakes By Ying, Malaysia)

HEDWIG! Best postal carrier ever, am I right? Though she misplaced a very important letter for yours truly a while back, and I'm still not over it.

This owl understands:

(By Klobouckovic Dortiky, Czechia)

See, she looks both snuggly and like she's about to say something devastatingly snarky, which is really the best combination.

And if I'm being honest, there IS an owl I love more than Hedwig, and that owl is... DAVID BOWIE.

(By Saccharine Obsession)

That line makes sense if you grew up in the 80s. Also this barn owl flew right out of Labyrinth to serenade me with As The World Falls Down, so give us a moment.

(And yes, cake! It's cake! AHHH-MAZING.)

This precious pastel patchwork is prettier than a peck of posies:

(By E Só Um Bolinho)

I dare you to read that line out loud and not spit all over your keyboard. I also dare you to find a better candidate for a plush toy - 'cuz YOU WON'T. (I want her as a pillow!)

Bringing it back to Harry Potter again because hi, it's me, and also because this cake topper is making me melt:

(By Tiny Plaid Sheep)

That seller only makes the topper part, not the cake, so I'm cheating by including this here.

Cheating, and not sorry. Look at the wands holding up the bunting! Eeee!

I noticed a lot of owl cakes look the same out there, so I made a point of specifically finding one with an owl wearing sneakers:

(By Cakes By Lorna, Slovakia)

You just don't see enough of those. Also the balloons are fantastic, I love the soft shading.

This pudgy lil' guy looks like a steampunk ringmaster, which is really the best aesthetic for an owl cake:

(By Bloom Cakes, Cambodia)

Buttons and bunting and bug-eyes, oh my! THIS IS SO CUTE.

And finally, the owl cake that will make you wish all owls - cake or not - came with bright teal and purple feathers:

(By Natalia Salazar, North Carolina)

Also Pixar eyes. And a one-to-one head-to-torso ratio. And itty bitty toesies. And a cutesy-pootsy widdle nosey-wosey OK sorry I'm done now.

Hope these make your Superb Owl Sunday a little more super, minions, and that your week is extra Sweet!
