This Post Did Not Go The Way I Expected, But Now I'm Into It
It's Bat Appreciation Month, for obvious reasons (helloooo, month after Michael Keaton's birthday!), so today we're going to celebrate....
Star Wars!
"Come to the dark side, we have sh*tty lightsabers."
And we're also celebrating Proper Proportions!
Wooohoo!
"It's not the size, it's how you... oh. On second thought, in this case? It's the size."
Not to mention just getting out there and having a good time!
Hehehehehehehehe.
(Like that ball placement wasn't intentional, bakers. COME ON.)
Quick shout out to everyone just now realizing these cakes are supposed to be baseball bats, and that's what the heck I'm talking about.
'SUP.
Hang on, I'm getting a note from John here...
OHHHH it's supposed to be Halloween bats?
I can do that.
One black butterfly, comin' up!
See, once you start thinking of bats as those old Glo Worm dolls from the 80s with wings, this totally makes sense.
Thanks to Jessica L., Angela D., Katy H., & Sarah S. for making me wonder what a DC reboot of Glo Worm would look like. I bet he'd be a gritty crime-fighter with mechanical wings, and the movie tagline would be "Glo Worm Returns: LIGHTS OUT, BAD GUYS" and before every fight he'd yell, "IT'S GLO TIME!" while his sidekick Barry Beetle just rolls his eyes at the camera, Jim-from-The-Office-style.
Yeah, thanks for that, Sarah.

P.S. Just to really lean into this tangent: have you SEEN the World's Smallest Glo Worm?
It even lights up when you squeeze it. And it costs less than $10! The perfect teeny gift for any child of the 80s, or yourself, because who are we kidding here. ;)
