john (the hubby of Jen) In The Flesh

Thursday, July 14, 2011

My friends, today is National Nude Day, which is why I... [ripping off Velcro pants]...will be writing this post entirely butt nekkid. Aw yeeeah. In fact, I suggest you join me! Just be considerate of your family and cubicle mates, and be sure to walk around and extend a personal invitation to each of them, too.

Now, you may be asking yourself, how will I know that john (the hubby of Jen) is actually naked? Well, here's a picture as proof:

I like to oil up when I write about cake.

Now, let's do this thing!


Here we have a ...

I'm sorry. Excuse me...this chair is really...erph!...scratchy.

So. Here's a turtle:


Oh! Hang on a sec; my neighbor is watering her lawn.

[opening door]

Hi, Mildred! Did you know it's National Nude Day?

Mildred? Don't run so fast, dear, remember your hip surgery!!


She's such a sweetie.


Now, check out this hot little chick:

That is some serious duck face.


(Question: is it ok to scratch below the belt with a back scratcher? Asking for a friend.)


And now, a taco:

Or possibly a hot dog.

Never thought I'd get those two mixed up, to be honest.


(Another question: are wood back scratchers dishwasher-safe?)


Huh. That's odd. Ever get the feeling somebody's watching you?

Must be the cold draft in here.

[crossing legs]

And finally, because this post has been the picture of modesty and decorum so far, let's end with something really inappropriate:


Hey, Carol G., Marianne F., Susan M., Sarah A., & Alexandra, for the last time: I'm up here.

That hot dog/taco cake looks just like a picture i drew for art class back in elementary school. except my picture was supposed to be a campfire.

i'm not the artsy type...

yellowpickup said...

LMAO This is the best post ever!

Kelly said...

I agree with yellowpickup - best post ever! Still laughing!!!

Nice six pack Jon(the hubby of Jen).

And each time I look at the ducky cake I think of Carol Channing. Not sure why - maybe that huge mouth?

A.J. said...

Bow-chicka-wow-wow....LOL.

Judy C said...

You know, hubby of Jen, that Big Bird cake looks really angry to me.
But I'll bet Jen is happy.

Sharyn said...

Hey John (THOJ)

Maybe you should tell your "friend" to stick with the metal back scratchers. And buy him some smooth slipcovers. Just sayin'...

Now fasten up those pants and help Mildred off the lawn.

Haiku Joy said...

Even haiku fails.
My words are as broken as
Mildred's mighty hip.

It wouldn't surprise me if nournif gets the poetic allusion. English teacher's blight.

SWEET! Today I have an excuse to run down the hallways of this office nekkid...because, yanno, every other time I do it they call the authorities. "YOU CAN'T CALL TODAY FUN HATERS!!!"

Becky

wv: ciest - They "claim" they don't want to ciest me naked, I think they are just jealous.

Recipes In Review said...

The duck looks like my neighbor, Gladys.

I just love to celebrate all of the holidays. Time to get nekkid.

Congrats to Jen ;)

SaraCVT said...

You know, my personal hubby and I always say that "nude" is the state of having no clothes on. "Nekkid" is having no clothes on with intentions. Do you have intentions, John?

mel said...

Sorry...I was laughing so hard I forgot to look at the cakes....Way to go, Jon (hubby of Jen)!

wv-heritche: These bakers all come from a rich heritche of decorators.

Oh Wow! Can't pass up the WV today...pherst!!!

I'm going to take this holiday to heart.

FABOO post! can't stop giggling. kudos.

Donna said...

LOVE LOVE LOVE today's post! My only problem is I work with people who need to put more clothes on...not take them off....*sigh*

mimi said...

That last cake is the best cake ever. I want that cake. That is not a wreck; it is gold.

Beth said...

"I'm up here." SNORT!

Maureen said...

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!! ROTFL!!!!

Lololol@ the last cake. The other cakes=wtf??

Stephanie said...

Methinks you had a little too much fun with this one, John... :P

Mad in Crafts said...

Tell me you meant all those double entendres and that I don't just have a disgusting gutter mind.

Stephanie said...

I'm thinking Big Bird there is ready to go ninja.

Christina said...

Oh the mental images..... ROFLMAO!!!! John, hubby of Jen... great post today!! Jen - you lucky girl you to check out that 6 pack!! ;-) LOL!!

BADKarma! said...

Maybe it's a hot dog IN a taco... Um... Ahem... (blinkblink)... That sounded way less dirty in my head... O_O

Michelle said...

This might be the best post ever Jon(the hubby of Jen). Thanks for a fantastic laugh this morning!

elissa said...

John (THOJ), I'm not sure anyone ever told you that nudity is not nearly as sexy as strategically clothed....

Brain bleach. I need brain bleach for the images you conjured (and I don't mean the cakes).

Katrina said...

Bwahahaha! John you are the master of over-the-top and hilarious posts! I still laugh when I think of your "Lounge Lizard" post, AWESOME. Love love love your sense of humor! Jen is one lucky lady ;-)

Anonymous said...

I really, really want the Something Really Inappropriate cake. It even has sprinkles!

It is second only to the cake my coworker and I have agreed to get each other on our last days of work (if we ever left, that is...)
Best retirement cake EVAH!

Puppygirl said...

I'd join Becky in celebrating this day at work, unfortunately, I have an appointment with a couple of kids in the afternoon... I think that would lead to some jail time.

Too bad it's not my husband's golf day. I'd be a short, brisk walk to the course. bwahahahaha

Awesome post John (thoJ). Awesome comments, too!

Loo-E Loo-I said...

*blink* *blink* O.o

Question 1, Tell your friend that as long as you, I mean he's the only one using it, why should Jen, oops...why should anyone, care?

Question 2, No, wooden stuff in the dishwasher gets splintery after a while. Just sayin'...not good.

Tell your friend they make plastic ones...

Craig said...

Taco? Hot dog? So what's the stuff on the outside (he asked, not really wanting to know).

What is both cool and ironic about the last one: they spelled 'inappropriate' correctly.

I find myself strangely glad that Cake Wrecks doesn't have a webcam.

wv: pactent. Item #1 on the camping checklist.

Lulubelle B said...

Jen is a lucky, lucky woman.

Lisa said...

I always love all of cakewrecks posts, but today took the cake! (Pun intended, thank you, thank you very much.) Today was hilarious! Mildred was just running to get that back scratcher.

Anonymous said...

Wow, that was SOME post today...

"Something Really Inappropriate" would be good for a bridal shower cake. I think I'll keep that in mind for a certain someone I know who's getting married next year.

LOL ... that was great!!

Anonymous said...

I am quite skeptic if that is really Jen's husband or a picture off Google search LOL. But the hotco (hotdog/taco) makes me lol.

obsessive compulsive dawn said...

There are no words for how awesome you guys are. I <3 this blog in particular so much!

Kristina said...

of the second cake, my daughter (who will be three in two weeks) said: "That's not a cake, Mommy, that's a pinata!" I'd sure like to hit it with a stick...

Today is my birthday - what a great post to celebrate with!

susan marie said...

I was going to say the taco/hotdog thing looked like a hamburger laying on its side, but it's got white stuff on top, so now I'm not sure anymore!

tiny p. elephant said...

BEST.POST.EVER.JOHN!
Thanks for the laughs!
The green turtle and big bird are the best!

Unknown said...

I'm thinking hot dog...

Torry said...

Love the big bird! How creepy!

lisadh said...

HIL.Air.EE.US!! Great job, john (thoJ)!!

AngelaJ said...

Wow. I'm all hot and bothered! I'm gettin' nekkid and waking my hubby up! Maybe we can go...make a cake...

Renee Nefe said...

John (THOJ) you seem to forget that many of us have actually met you during your world book tour...and unless you've been working out like Hans and Franz used to your self portrait is photoshopped. ;o)
However, your post was awesome...and I would go with a plastic back scratcher if you want to put it in the dishwasher.

Betty Martin said...

John, hubby of Jen...I must say this was a little creepy. Seeing you nekkid...NOT seeing you nekkid...I mean, I absolutely DO NOT want to see you nekkid or even imagine you nekkid. It's not just you...it's any unknown man...and many known men, come to that. If it's National Nude Day, I think I'll stay in my house all day with the curtains closed...wait...that's what I do everyday! NO, it's not what you think. I'm not nekkid...no one is nekkid...except at appropriate times...like 3 o'clock or 5 o'clock...NO that's not what I mean, I mean nekkid for showers only!!! (and other needed nekkid activities) And the curtains are closed because we live in the desert and it's very hot and I don't want the sun shining into our house to make it even hotter...yeah, that sounds good.

The taco dog makes my stomach turn.

That's just funny, I don't care who you are. ;-)

Poor Mildred and her bad hip!!! Funny post :)

Niki said...

Is the taco/hot dog cake supposed to be a half a hamburger??? Sloppy either way!

Betty Martin said...

P.S. That turtle looks entirely too perky!!!

The last one is awesome...and 100% correctly spelled! Amazing!

SiouxBee said...

@craig...if that pic of John is real (and we all KNOW it is ;-P), then i'm REALLY wishing cake wrecks had a webcam! (wink wink nudge nudge)

Mariposa Azul said...

We mix up tacos and hot dogs on purpose here - Taco Dogs! Put a hot dog in a taco shell and top with taco toppings for the kids.

May said...

Aw, man! My plan was to get dressed up for the Harry Potter movie tonight, but I can't pass up celebrating this holiday! I'll just wear glasses and a lightning scar.

WV: siffths
The sound of bare...um...bum slowly separating from a leather desk chair.

Renee,

I'm sorry, I didn't hear you over the sound of my abs rippling.

Oooh, oohh! Also:

WV: squac

The sound one makes when one's bare skin separates from the leather desk chair.

I love this blog!! I come here when I need a chuckle. Thanks!!!

NatalieG said...

@Haiku Joy, I too am speechless and concerned for Mildred...

Jeezum, you guys make me laugh! Great post, thanks!

Cake #4 is why the earlier Elmo cake was screaming.

JenericFN said...

So awesome, on so many levels! Thank you, thank you, for making my day!

ViolaNut said...

So the fact that, after all that, when I went to click for comments it said there were 69 of them... that made my day.

Aliza said...

While I'm struggling to come up with a comment about today's very amusing theme, I'll discuss the cakes.

#1: um, guys? If it's turned green and has that much shrinkage, you might want to see a doctor.

#2: tammy faye?

#3: Is that a Lorena Bobbitt hot dog?

#4: I think Big Bird's jealous that he's not hte only nekkid one around.

#5: A work-appropriate inappropriate cake! I love it!!! I have colleagues who would appreciate that one :)

M M said...

Now I want a cake for my birthday that says "something really inappropriate"

Anonymous said...

I think that taco-dog might be a half-a-burger??

Unknown said...

Oh dear! I couldn't stop laughing today. Thanks John! Good job! Hope you clean that back/butt scratcher!

Leigh Ann said...

I like the turtle.

Amy Ellen said...

Please, John, I really, really must know if this line is an-oh-so-appropriate quote or an original statement? I intend to steal it and insult someone-- but like to give credit. ;-D
Thanks, Terrell

I've been so deep in the doldrums recently I thought I wouldn't smile until I saw Darth Vader holding a baby girl while My Little Pony (with a Death Star tattooed on it's butt) danced on a double rainbow with Rick Astley to the tune of Walk the Dinosaur while silver dragees from an Italian bakery in Afghanistan twinkled like stars in a poo colored sky.

(silly grin)
I was wrong.

-Barbara Anne

P.S. I, too, thought: taco, hot dog or half burger lying on it's side? Also, my grandmother's name was Mildred and she would have thought this was funny (and she had an artificial hip).

Blalock said...

Such an awesome post!!!! Still laughing!

Marnie said...

I thought the turtle was kinda cute.

jillb-ilslp said...

*palm to forehead* Why didn't I check CW this morning when I KNOW it is my primary source for important news. National Nude Day AND My 50th Birthday?!
Just imagine how much better my Sally O'Malley impressions at work all day would have been nekkid!

Carrietastic said...

John, I believe you actually did write this entry in the nude. At least, I wouldn't put it past you. :)

Donna said...

Oh My, I am dying over the extreme awesomeness of this post! "I'm up here." Classic.

Then I get to the comments...

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you over the sound of my abs rippling."

Best post of all time, OF ALL TIME!! And I may or may not have spit pop all over my monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Lol thank goodness I stayed home today if it was national nude day. Some things cannot be unseen and around here I would probably never come out of the house again. That taco/hot dog/man vs. food hamburger thing makes me kinda wanting some food at the moment just not that cake lol. Mmmmmmm I love this post!

MadTigerKitty said...

John, your post in the comment section was the funniest part of this entire post (and I was laughing from the very beginning)!! I can't stop laughing at the visual it put in my head :D

Noortje said...

This was actually a very nice way to wake up, nice abs ;)

Couldn't realy focus on the wrecks though, the rest of the post kept me laughing too hard.

wv: bedeesso - I just got totally bedeesso-ed by those abs.

MM said...

Not sure what's more nauseating, these cakes (especially that taco/hotdog one) or widespread nakenedess in my town. However as it's very warm and I work on my own it sounds like a good idea, happy naked day!
