Literal LOLs

Let's Call The Post Literally. Thanks.

If Cake Wrecks has taught us anything, it's that you have to be really careful what you say to a baker:

Houston, we have a problem.

 

Insert snarky comment here: ...........

 

This one I'm actually Ok with - but only because the baker included some this time.

 

Ah, the perils of buying a cake and picking it up later:

(Do you think the baker write5 all hi5/her Ss like thi5?)

 

"So, whaddaya want?"

"Hang on, where?"

Wow. That is SO...well, you know.

 

I guess we should be glad these mistakes are on cake, though, which is easily disposed of. I hear tanker trucks are way more difficult:

Well, maybe not if you have a match, but still.

 

And what does it say when this pops up in front of your kids' school?

I get the feeling this "shold read" something else.

 

So the next time you see a literal LOL iced on a cake, just remember:

Somewhere there are people with this frame on their mantels. 

(Although I bet they got it for cheap!)

 

Thanks to Kelsey C., Bami, Kim L., Kathy R., Tam, Anony M., John O., Jen G., & Robyn S. for literally being my most recent wreckporters.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

Top 13 Telephone Wrecks

There are literal wrecks ("Just write Happy Birthday on it,") and then there are the wrecks that literally suffer from a game of Telephone. And they're fabulous.

 

"Too Legit To Quit"

 

"Welcome Home"

 

"Happy Birthday, Cowgirl!"

 

"Valedictorian"

 

"Gettin' hitched!" (for a wedding shower)

 

"Happy Hanukkah!"

 

"Happy Birthday Beth & Libby!"

(And to think she used to be the life of the party.)

 

"Bye, Evan!"

 

"For Our Fearless Leader"

(At hour 5, she turns into a whimpering puddle of goo.)

 

"You're an ace!"

 

Here they asked for a big mouse with some little mice around it:

SO CLOSE.

 

While on this one they wanted "blue camo" - as in "camouflage."

Of course, there was that Obama/Llama fiasco. Heh.

 

And finally, my favorite:

"Don't Take No For An Answer!"

It says "Don't Techno For An Answer." Which is officially one of my favorite things ever. Because now I want to, dangit.

Random Person: "So Jen, are you coming to our baby shower? We're serving one of those hee-LARIOUS vagina cakes!"

Me: [puts on sunglasses] [cranks techno music] [moonwalks away]

 

Thanks to Mary D., Amy D., Cat D., Rowenna O., Amy R., Jill S., Emily A., Karen B., Liz W., Sarah H., Helen, Yvonee D., & Dori K. for that new life goal.
