I'm Guessing They Didn't Have a Matching Card

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Well, at least it didn't say "Happy".
(And you have to admit: the glowsticks are an inspired touch.)

Mmmm, cancer rat.


Slice of dead Lenin, anyone?

I mean, it looks just like Lenin's perfectly preserved corpse, so I know you're salivating already. Why, just look how excited the kiddies are!

"No, not the cold shoulder; I want a slice of the iron fist! Now quit Stalin and get me some Lenin-ade to wash it down with, or this joint won’t be getting any high Marx from me."

Of course the best part was saved for the VIPs:


Ah, a little jawbone with a scoop of ice cream on the side... [kissing fingertips] magnifique!


Ellie P., Whitney G., & Ann W., I think I'm going to need a Unicorn Chaser, stat.

UPDATE: Wow, thanks for all the entries in the dead Lenin caption contest, guys! The winning caption is a combination of what Taylor, Jenniffer, the Suttons, & Anne S. wrote. Oh, and my friend Abby came up with "slice of the iron fist."

And here are a few more that made me laugh:

"Lenin cake again?" - Ivory Girl

"I said I wanted a LEMON cake." - Judy

"Well, it’s better than cancer rat.” – Chris

"Crotch, please!" - BookTender

"I want the Aorta!"
That girl is going to medical school, after all.
Of course, if that is Lenin, she said it in Russian. So it would sound more like this, "Я хочу аорту!"

Mandy said...

Holycrap, there are a lot of comments. Yowzers! ;o) Well, at least they're not all about the deep meanings of children's literature, eh?


I think she's saying:

I want the mustache! I WANT THE MUSTACHE!


(Wow, me and Elizabeth think identically. except for the caps.)

Little girl under server's elbow:
(Thinking): "Mister, you've got about one nanosecond to get your freaking elbow away from my head or you'll be IN that bed with the stiff!"
I'm not quite sure that the little girl on the left is saying anything, either. It looks sort of like a big YAWN, to me!
That, or she's about to sneeze--because the look on the glasses-man is like, "Oh, crap--I forgot to give little Sproinka her allergy meds, and that thing must be LOADED with preservatives!"

But I still want to play along, though, so:

Little girl on the left: "Hey! I have a yellow chenille bedspread just LIKE that!"

OR: She's just been struck with an idea: ("Whoa--I just had the most AWESOMEST idea! When I get married, I'M gonna have a life-size me and my husband AS the wedding cake! And-and they can stand side by side... and have a little tiny CAKE on their HEADS! And-and- I can send the picture to CAKEWRECKS and EVERYTHING!")

Seriously...a dead Lenin cake is quite disturbing! Well, I guess it could be worse...some bakery could have a "Communists in Cake" exhibition, and add a Marx & a Stalin cake to the collection!

Hmmmm...don't mind me! :P

Being a huge fan of sarcasm, I love the 3 Mile Island and the Cancer Rat cakes. (Although the 3 Mile Island one could have been done A LOT better)

The Lenin one...well...I'm just lost on that one. Why?

The cancer rat and corspe cake... eww! And the glowstick cake actually made me scream in PAIN.

Stillapill said...

The Lenin cake reminds me of the 1989 movie "The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover", a movie in which the cook actually roasts his wife's lover and serves him "whole body"-style on the table. Ugh!!

I think the girl is saying, "OMG! They are totally serving the cake the wrong way. You're supposed to start at the feet and move upward. Geez!!"

mulause - mute applause... what the audience did when the Lenin cake was brought out.

Elizabeth said...

"I thought I'd be safe with just a small bit of shoulder...I was mistaken, it's still creepy."

It does take some talent to make a cake so life (scratch that) death-like. It wouldn't sicken us so much if it was poorly done.

Mmm, I'd eat that dead person cake. Legal, tasty cannibalism people :)
What, you don't want any? All the more for me heheheh.
Who got the crotch?

Those glowsticks would work if Three Mile Island was the name of a show or place that'd had some weird X-Files stuff going on...

Sidenote: doesn't 'word verification' imply that the letters have to make up a word? I'm pretty sure arhesse isn't a word.

I think the little girl is just haranguing the server with, "Hey! You cut her a bigger piece. She got more frosting! I wanted a flower!...." The server is taking deep breaths so that he doesn't turn around, hold the knife to the girl's throat and say, "How would you like to join him in cake's sweet embrace!"

I, personally, can forgive a Lenin cake given that the Russians have such a wonderful attitude towards cake. Any country that has full on gateau style cakes on the buffet for breakfast at their hotels has got to be allowed their little idiosyncrasies.

I am the one who thought of and had the Three Mile Island Cakes (there were two) made. They were for a hospital that is within the area that would take patients if there were another problem at TMI. It is a lil sick, but funny.. Glad to see people like it!

Anonymous said...

that Lenin cake reminds me of the video for Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More". I had nightmares for weeks after seeing that for the first time when I was like 7 or so. Lenin is ALL cake. Alice still had a singing head, flailing arms, and kicking legs. *shudder*
