Cheap Cheat Sheets

Ah, where WOULD we be without those helpful hints from our friendly wreckerators?


"WHAT IN HOLY...oh. It says, 'Meow!'

"So it must be something that can imitate a cat."


Sometimes the hints are fairly subtle:

Pssst. You misspelled "Poopy."



While wiser wreckerators go for slightly more direct labeling:


Finally answering the question, "Can I get a what-what?"



Rainbow!


Um...strawberry!



Diploma?


Now you're just screwing with us.


And finally, my favorite, no doubt written after someone was asked just a few times too many:




Thanks to Sara A., Julia L., Stephanie L., Sadie P., Rose B., Anne B., Elizabeth S., & Erin F., who are all going, "OoooOOooh, NOW I see it!"

    Visible thongs are an embarrassment in real life. Why would someone intentionally create one?

    What? What?

    My first thought with the "What What" cake was the "What What in the Butt" viral video, which makes that just soooooo much more appetizing...

    In other news, did you guys see yesterday's Garfield comic? It totally made me think of you guys, although it's probably not a direct reference. But still, it's fun to pretend :)

    The first one (and so many others from this blog) reminds me of our cake competition within our Cub Scout Pack...wherein each of the boys (ages 6-11) bakes his own cake and decorates it of his own design. Some of them are quite spectacular..and some are just whipped cream (or other insidious ingredients...you know, shaving cream, mashed potatoes, baked beans) in a graham cracker crust. Yes, at the end of the competition, the boys get to choose to eat the cake, keep the cake...or to throw the cake at a leader of their own choosing. That "cat" would definitely fit the bill for throwing ;)

    Clearly the 'strawberry' is one of the rarely sighted green-mossed unicorn deers, native to North American rocky regions where Bigfoot also dwells. I don't expect many people to know this as the G-MUD doesn't have a wikipedia page. Yet.

    #8 It's a CCC. Things are getting pretty bad when flotsam has to be labeled. What's more, the label looks like it was written by a tagger.

    So the supposed rainbow or rainoow, no wonder it needed a label. The colors are in the wrong order! ROY G BIV - red orange yellow green blue indigo violet and yet this wreckerator was all pink violet orange yellow! Oh my!

    And then the "strawberry" cake is one moldy berry.
