From Fury Road To Gettin' Sued By Krispy Kreme: A Word Journey

Wrecky minion Laura ordered this design for her son's birthday:

...but there must have been a mixup, because instead of trees and pavement, Laura ended up with the rare Mad Mouse, Fury Road color scheme:

"OH BOY! WITNESS ME! HO HO!"

 

Laura tells me her first hint that something was off was the box with her name on it:

LauraRio.ow.mispellednameonbox.jpg

Her name is Laura Rio.
[wincing] Oooh. Sorry, Ruwa.

 

Guess what this next one is:

Hint: It's not a cake. It's a lesson in font selection.

 

When only Velveeta and the squirty bottle of Dijon mustard will do:

Ahh, I can just see the birthday's girl's face now.

Best keep that serving knife away.

 

And finally, you wrecky old-timers no doubt remember the original Word Journey, but I submit that this one - dare I say it? - is even better:

Seriously, there are new delights at every turn here. It's a Word Journey with no traffic, your favorite mix tape of boy bands, and every gas station stocked with hot Krispy Kremes and no people in them.

(No people in the gas stations, I mean.)

(Though obviously it's a good thing when Krispy Kremes don't have people in them, either.)

(To be clear, I'm NOT saying Krispy Kremes ever have/had people in them, so don't go spreading that around.)

(I... I'm going to get sued, aren't I.)

 

Thanks to Laura R., Melyssa C., Sara V., & Brooke W. for all the impending Soylent Green jokes. BRING 'EM ON, PEOPLE.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

Just My Stripe

I know I just talked about zebras last week, minions - or rather, the abject hatred wreckerators have for zebras, which prevents them from ever looking at zebras before they make zebra-striped cakes - but it turns out last week was only the tip of the icing 'berg.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "SURELY it can't be that hard for this many bakers to make simple zebra stripes."

To which I say:

And don't call me Shirley.


BEHOLD!

See, because it's looking at you? 

Eh? 

Janine here really lucked out, though she didn't know it at the time. See, she also ordered a zebra print cake, but the baker misunderstood. So instead, she got this:

Aha! So THIS is the answer, everybody: just start ordering actual ZEBRA cakes. Go, quick! Before Wreckerators catch on!

Oh, wait. Hang on...

Too late.
Sorry, Jannae. We hope you enjoyed your... sock puppet?


Thanks to Julia S., Beth M., Melissa M., Stephanie, Janine B., & Jannae for keeping this issue black-and-white.

I was going to link an actual zebra sock puppet, but it was the stuff of nightmares. (Bahaha!) So instead, how about just some cute zebra socks:

You can also choose from skunks, meer cats, sloths, or giraffes wearing glasses. Score.
