I think about this cake every day
sorry for exposing your tags but this is hilarious
OP, I hope you don’t mind me making an addition:
When I turned 17, we ordered a cake at the grocery store for my party, as we’d done many times before. If you wanted something written on the cake you’d write it into a section of the order form. We requested, very simply, “Happy Birthday Courtney”. When we went to pick it up the day of the party, this is what we got.
The bakery employees had absolutely no explanation for this. The order form, attached to the box, very clearly did not contain any of those extra names. Whomever had done the writing was no longer in, so there was no one to ask how this had happened. The fact that the name ‘Juan’ is misspelled bewilders me to this day. (I’ve never seen ‘Miley’ without the E, either, but it’s believable that someone might spell it that way.) Did this cake slip in from an alternate universe where I’m one quarter of a set of Hispanic quadruplets? Dyslexic Hispanic quadruplets, maybe?
This cake became the focal point of my party. At least two of my friends regularly called me ‘Courtney Mily Jaun Pablo’ for years to come. My siblings and I still reference it sometimes, eleven years later. It is probably the funniest thing ever to occur at any birthday celebration of my life, and may well remain so for the rest of my days.
I love a botched cake.
Is it just me or should prisoners work for free....? You're in prison because you committed crimes, some of them incredibly heinous and disturbing..... Why should we pay you for manual labor whilst in prison?
Because if you’re forced to do labour for free, that makes you an actual fucking slave.
Prisoners are human.
Humans have rights that must not be infringed upon.
and even if you somehow forgot that part, you're overlooking the part where adding economic incentive to incarcerate more people can and does lead to false arrests. there are lots of cases where judges got exposed for taking money under the table in exchange for lengthening prison sentences and sentencing people who would otherwise be found innocent. one guy in one of the carolinas was bribed to send as many Black kids as possible to a for-profit prison. he was quite literally selling children into slavery. they were not freed when he was caught and removed from the bench

This may seem silly, but are there any photos out there of frogs in costumes? Of times people have put real actual frogs into hats or capes or suchlike? My Google-fu is failing me and just giving me endless images of people in frog costumes interrupted occasionally by dogs, cats, parrots and babies in frog costumes.
tada!
