I'm thinking that maybe it's Shelayne's birthday tomorrow? Lolol.
I'm laughing at the picture with the goose. I'll stop by here again tomorrow... hopefully. But thanks for starting this in advance, and have a safe trip, MS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHELAYNE!!! I hope you have a blessed day. Love the pictures, Morningstar! I really like the goose one, too, Brotherjohn. Which reminds me....Benjamin said that he has a trick with a goose. I'm still waiting for that one!

Benjamin, yes, it's on the welcome page when you first log into the website. You wrote that on January 29, 2014:
I keep waiting for the goose trick.

Thanks for checking the B'day section, Morningstar. I forget to do that. I REALLY want those cakes that Liz posted, I love the bunny on the computer and I believe Benjamin has been goosified. He'll blame it on us but that's okay. Happy Birthday, Shelayne!

"oh, that. Well, unfortunately that requires the use of a tea towel, which would also require your physical presence for demonstrative purposes." Ah, too bad! I would have liked to have seen that. Shelayne, I hope you have a wonderful birthday today!

You guys are AWESOME.. and a little weird. BUT I totally love that! Thanks, John for the Office video. That was great! With all these cakes, there might-- and I stress the word *might*-- be enough for everyone.

Well, we all hope you had some cake for us!!! What do you mean "a little weird"?!

Post by Leeza on Jun 27, 2014 1:21:33 GMT
Hummmmm..."awesome" and "weird"......sort of an oxymoron, wouldn't you say? Kind of like saying, "delightfully eccentric". (We're teasing, Shelayne!)

You guys can have my cake. I went to a place that makes those specialty coffee drinks today (not Starbucks) and the little cutie cheerfully talked me into a concoction she invented last night, called "The Panda". Now, you would think a drink named Panda anything would likely have black and white coloring, would you not? Noooo, this not-so-little potion was PINK. I looked at it and thought of little Ralphie (from "A Christmas Story") in that hideous pink bunny suit. I should have stopped right there. I did want sweet, but not so sweet that your teeth hurt, but it was what it was. It was a freakish, pinkish nightmare that had "all sorts of secret ingredients that I don't want to share". That little sentence should have had me saying, "Oh, OK. I will have a plain cup of coffee, please." But I didn't want to hurt this sweet girl's feelings. So I grabbed this 1 gallon cup that Dr. Frankenstein so cheerfully whipped up for me. I made it to my table and cautiously sipped it. Hmmm. Raspberry. Raspberry is good. Another few slurps on the straw and what is this white thing? A mini marshmallow. Just large enough to clog up my straw. Lovely. Several sips and picking mini marshmallows that really should only by put in a HOT drink, not a frozen, blended drink, I was thinking I was not going to be able to finish the whole thing. It was ginormous, for one. Constantly pulling these hard pebbles of frozen marshmallow off my tongue was another, and then there was that whole I am just not into eating an entire bowl of sugar through a straw thing. Within a short time, I had serious gut rot. So here I sit. Cakeless. I will have to postpone my cake snarfing until I feel like I'm not going to barf. That would be a huge waste of cake. I can't believe that I still am being haunted by "whatever" magic ingredients were in that "delightful" bevvie, when I actually drank that poison this morning. Isn't there a statute of limitations on how long a pink disaster can wreak havoc on one's tum-tum? What was I thinking?? I am going with the theory that espresso mixed with ridiculous amounts of sugar hates me. Bleech. So, please. Enjoy the cake... maybe tomorrow I will be able to partake in one of my favorite sports.

Vomiting is one of your favourite spots? That seems like the only possible outcome to that pink abomination...

No-- eating cake with gusto! Now, that is a sport! That other thing? Just. Ewwww.

Oh my goodness, Shelayne, what a horrible experience! I must confess that I went through a variety of emotions as I read it...shaking my head in disgust at the horrible concoction you suffered through; thinking you were so sweet to drink that nightmarish slop in order not to hurt the lady's feelings, and getting a huge kick out of the amusing way you described the whole experience. Wow.
I hope that you can enjoy your cake as soon as the sugar buzz wears off.

You are so sweet, Leeza. I should clarify that it was a young woman--probably a teenager who created this monstrosity. If I were just a little "quicker" this morning I might have thought this one through to its obvious conclusion, "A teenager making up a sweet drink with all sorts of 'fun' and 'exciting', yet 'secret' ingredients-- really, what could go wrong?" Live and learn.

Shelayne, I can't imagine how in the world you were able to get that concoction down you. You must have a huge politeness gene in you.

Post by shelayne on Jun 27, 2014 4:47:38 GMT
Liz, the whipped cream on top helped.. a LOT. Really, the only reason I kept sipping it was because I was with someone; we were talking, and my mouth was dry. Otherwise, I am almost certain I would have abandoned ship much sooner! Politeness gene or stupid gene-- what to choose, what to choose...

Shelayne, I hope that the nausea/sugar buzz left you so you were able to eat some birthday cake today! Liz is right, you do have a polite gene, which I think is sweet. Personally, what I think I would have done myself is take a few polite sips out of the abomination, then take it with me out the door like I was going to drink it later, and dump it somewhere. Maybe you could have had the friend that was with you get another drink for you, and instead of gagging on the sugar concoction, you could slip in a few sips of the other drink when the teenager wasn't looking. That way, she would think that your friend bought the drink for themselves instead of for you. (I know, I know, a lot of trouble just to spare someone's feelings, but I am pretty sure that would have been the route I would have gone through. Otherwise, I would be afraid of going into a diabetic coma drinking that sucrose-filled monstrosity!)

A "pink abomination"only you, Benjamin....only you could come up with that term. I don't like sickening sweet cake frosting either. I hate gritty, sugary sweet frosting. I have only had a few in my life that are irresistable. One is a kind they sell at a bakery in a grocery store where I live and it's a marshallow frosting, but its not marshmallowy. It's real smooth, creamy and not sickening sweet. The cake is real moist too. The other kind is my own. I add a box of pudding (for more moistness) to my cakes and make my own frosting. It's a butter cream frosting and the only ingredients in it are a couple of sticks of softened butter, a little powdered sugar to your taste and vanilla or banana extract (depending on what kind of cake you're making). It's to die for. It's an old recipe from my grandmother and got passed down. It's real light, smooth and creamy and not gritty or too sweet. It's almost like that bakery one I mentioned. One extra ingredient that is strictly called for is a very large, ice cold glass of milk on the side when devouring it...lol

Wow. I go away for a few days and come back to have missed the festivities! Happy belated, Shelayne!
I noticed the rhyme in one of your posts above that included the words "snarf" and "barf" - also notably in that order. An often predictable association, no?
I wondered if the young lady you were trying to make feel good by consuming her Panda creation actually had a black heart while you had a white heart -- a possible reason to call it Panda -- and she was actually enjoying a private practical joke watching you choke it down. Evil of me to consider such a thought, I guess...
I also think I gained two pounds simply reading this thread...
Are you feeling a year wiser today, Shelayne?

Yeah, Shiloh, the "pink abomination" expression could have only come from Benjamin. That really amused me when I read it.
Wow, Still Guessing, I never would have thought of that. Hard to believe that someone could be that devious to do that on purpose. (I'm sure people here are thinking, "Can she really be that naive?")
Hello, Shelayne, you didn't come back to tell us how you are....are you okay? You haven't been barfing all day from that sugar concoction, have you?

You peeps are so very sweet! I have been really busy helping friends with graduation parties. I come back here, and read even more posts on my birthday thread. How special I feel! Funny about that pink abomination-- that was the same word that was at the tip of my tongue (fingertips?) when I was trying to describe this heinous cocktail of death. Ha! Benjamin typed that descriptor, and I was "yep." Anyway, I finally felt somewhat normal around 2:00 AM. UGH. I have yet to "cake out". But give me some time.... Oh, and NO MORE Pandas (save for the black and white furry kind) for this chick!
