oooh, had to comment by dint of being the first one (you watch, someone else will post before me now!). 'Tis evening here in (dark) England, not sure what it time of day it is in Russia....
I had no choice but read that aloud. Cracked myself up, I did. Thanks. :D Off topic, do you watch Castle on ABC? Tuesday's ep had a whole underground steampunk community. Naturally, I thought of you. :) Nathan Fillion is a taste sensation unto himself, but in costume.... mmmmmm.
At first I saw the Congratulations and I thought, "Omigosh someone spelled it right!" I knew there was to be imminent doom, however....It's Boy made day.
Gee, nearly 6 years ago, we were listening to everyone around us speaking like this as we took our 2 new children into our family. Duncan's orphanage director: Here--is boy for you. Gabby's orphanage director: Here--is girl for you. You take, you love, you be good family. Bye-bye.
haha, I was just telling somebody today that "the" and "a" are my worst enemies, I constantly put them where they don't go and leave them out where they should be, it's not my fault my native language doesn't have these silly articles!! I even read the whole post with a very broken Russian accent in my head, hilarious :)
I immediately thought of the Bullwinkle episode where Boris dresses as a surgeon to "operate" on Bullwinkle, then afterwards tells Rocky: "Congratulations, Squirrel - you are the proud father of a dead moose!"
At least they spelled congratulations right lol.. at least I think they did but either way not as horrid as a baby alien popping out of a naked lady.. bleh!
I blew up (in a manner of speaking) the first cake to see what was on the sides. First impression: graham cracker crumbs = good. Second impression: fried chicken crispies = not good (at least on cake). Another commentator said Rice Krispies; also good. Which is it? No idea.
I was going to award points for 'congratulations' until the above-mentioned enlargement showed that the a's are exactly the same as the o's. Thus, 'congrotulotions' are in order.
I can't even tell you how excited I am to see one of my cakes-- err, well, one of my PICTURES of cakes on here. So awesome! I totally screenshotted it. (top cake)
Too bad; are pretty cakes!
ReplyDeleteO how funny! We immigrants do sound/ speak like this too!
ReplyDeleteW V= huncelik. The people of the Huncelik village speak this way too

ReplyDeleteAnd they got "Congratulations", supposedly the hard part right??!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the first is for a child named after Tarzan's son, Boy?
ReplyDeleteIs Goot!
ReplyDeleteWV: axidexes - axidexes cause need for baby cakes
I totally read this with a "moose & squirrel" accent!
ReplyDeleteBut at least they spelled "Congratulations" correctly on the first cake...
ReplyDeleteHmmm...it's the mysteriously appearing and disappearing post! Glad to see it reappeared!

ReplyDeleteMa, Pa, I gots something a tells you:
ReplyDeleteI's a girl!
Am I the only one who expected the punchline of this post to be "Cake wrecks YOU!"? ...Anyone? Bueller?
ReplyDeleteIn Soviet Russia, content misspells you. :P
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that Comcast commercial - the rich Russian guy that kisses that tiny giraffe! LOL
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there was ever a Russian bizarro world type cake that said "Is a Gril!"
wv: terfer - We got a terfer one post on the blog today :-)
Is nice in Russia they have blue daisies for cakes.
ReplyDelete...cake wrecks you.
ReplyDeleteI think we need an It's Boy onesie to correspond with the "It a Gril" onesie.
ReplyDeleteAt first I saw the Congratulations and I thought, "Omigosh someone spelled it right!" I knew there was to be imminent doom, however....It's Boy made day.
ReplyDelete'tis a sad commentary on how we can sometimes "skim read" that it took me three times of looking before I SAW the issues on these cakes... :(
ReplyDeleteHooray, it came back! I saw it around 9:30 this morning... enjoyed it quite a bit.

ReplyDeleteIn Soviet Russia we always get "congratulations" right and we disdain articles.
