When Mutation Day Explains So Much

I read that this Sunday is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' "Mutation Day" - something you wouldn't think other people would celebrate, but then, that's the only explanation we have for this:

And in true TMNT fashion, I shall call her "Hipposaurus."

"Why are we running?"

"Because the hipposaurus."

(That's about the level of literary greatness you can expect for the rest of this post, gang, so buckle up and/or head for the exit now.)

Next we have Heeby Jeeves:

Mummy The Dearest Lobster:

...and Sheldon The Sensual Sea-Serpent:

Likes: smooth jazz, gelato, aromatherapy

Dislikes: Big Bang Theory jokes

Then there's Pillo-dillo, The Throw Pillow Punisher:

Catch Phrase: "The Pillow Punisher IS BRINGING YOU DOWN."

Eh?

EH?

OH COME ON THAT WAS FUNNY

And finally, my personal favorite: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, meet Newborn Sentient Yoga Wave:

Or it could be Grimace - you know, the purple guy from McDonald's? - doing the worm.

Anyway, we can't celebrate the Turtles' mutation without a vaguely threatening TMNT birthday cake, right?

RIGHT.

(Better watch out, birthday dude.)

Thanks to Bea, Patricia K., Maddy R., Sarah K., Haley D., Diane B., & Amber M. for the cowa-bungles.

P.S. 10,000 geek points to the person who can correctly identify which of today's mutant names is actually from the show. :D

Oh, and here's a reminder of what Grimace looks like, for you youngin's:

If You Say There's No Such Thing As "Too Much Icing," Then This Post Is For You

It was Talk Like A Pirate Day last week, but I think this bakery could have used less talking and more map-drawing:

When in doubt, add more arrows.

Julie asked for "boyish colors and decorations."

So you saw it here first, folks: Clown poop is officially "boyish."
And a "decoration."

Every time I complain about an insane icing-to-cake ratio, the pro-icing peeps come out of the woodwork, exclaiming that no amount of icing is TOO much icing.

Aiiight, you pro-icing-ers, consider this the gauntlet being thrown:

Is THIS enough icing for ya?

Kasey asked for a cake that said "Happy Birthday," and then in parentheses, "Mulan was here."

You'd think the parentheses curve-ball would trip them up, but no, that was the one thing they really nailed:

There's just nothing in it.

They say it's officially Fall.
I don't believe it.
They say Pumpkin Spice makes everything better.
I don't believe it.
They say this is a pumpkin:

Eh, seems about right.

Thanks to S.E., Julie A., Kristina J., Kasey R., & Sarah C. for agreeing with me that Pumpkin Spice Oreos is the line, and that line HAS BEEN CROSSED TOO FAR.

P.S. I can't think of a better gift for Fall than this, y'all:

Pumpkin Spice Scented Toilet Paper

Admit it, you thought of at least one person in your life who needs this.
