(Tell me those aren't mold spots.)<br /><br />Dear "Dad"... What guy doesn't want to see 'Dad' in quotes on Father's Day? Gets you right here (points to solar plexus). "A home paternity test kit! Er, is there something I should know?"<br /><br />So Dad's a great catch. I can't help but hear banjos accompanying that 'compliment'. Part of me wants to know the back story, but the sane part says, 'leave it alone'. <br /><br />Ditto for the next two. Sometimes the omission of a little word like 'the' can radically alter the meaning of a sentence. "Your['e] the best in *the* US" -- OK, even if it leaves Dad open to competition from other countries. Leave out the second 'the', and it's time to call CPS. Along with having the grammar police pick up the wreckerator.<br /><br />"Your the best day" sounds like a self-help book written by someone who never mastered that whole 'grammar' thing.<br /><br />I see 'Happy Father's Dad' as being of a piece with 'Congradulations'. It's a new trend. One that needs to stop. Now. If you have time to pick out a cake, you have time to specify a complete message and make sure same gets onto the cake.<br /><br />Finally, I also see Sam the Eagle in the last wreck.Craignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-45650781802045161462010-06-22T16:14:17.816-04:002010-06-22T16:14:17.816-04:00I predict a new niche career: cake editing!

You are a troll in the truest sense of the word.<br /><br />First of all, if you had bothered to look it up, you would see that Changing Hands is part of the Bycott program for those who don't support the law.<br /><br />Secondly, regardless of our own politics which we are careful never to mention, we wanted the awesome people of Arizona to be able to go to a fun event, enjoy some cake and laugh a little.<br /><br />Third, with all the millions and millions of books we sold last night, I might be able to cover the breakfast Jen and I just ate. Maybe you don't realize it but with the San Diego snafu, this little tour of ours is costing us a HUGE amount of money.<br /><br />And finally, how DARE you belittle the efforts of thousands of people last year to raise money for charity? Cake Wrecks raised over a hundred thousand dollars in 14 days because of the kindness of our readers.<br /><br />I think you should leave an never come back.<br /><br />johnjohn (the hubby of Jen)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-51447268997902941642010-06-22T11:20:01.162-04:002010-06-22T11:20:01.162-04:00Arizona?

Are you from one of the states whose IDs will be honored by the constabulary? Or just hoping that your wealth and good fortune will be so obvious that you don't have to show papers? Maybe the whole selling your soul for the price of a couple of books thing will be OK if you get some funny greencard cakes, or maybe one with a sheriff incarcerating an 'anchor' baby... Or maybe you can get somebody to write this on a big sheet cake:<br />"The love of one's country is a splendid thing.
