This was precisely the kind of scenario I was thinking of, yes.

Yep, I did my time with the donutarians, in the Order of Plain Cake... the Frycake Friars. I lightened up and went frosted for a couple years before leaving the church entirely.

Cakestradamus, is that you?

Okay, just as a rule for us to use in this trying time (and at all times, really,) when a god tells you to do stupid awful things, and especially stupid and awful things to children, do not listen to that god. Find a different god. Like the cake god, for example. The cake god will never hurt you and only wants you to…

Okay... it’s just like a lint-covered hard candy stuck to the floor between the baseboard and the back leg of a pinball machine in the “amusements” corner of the bus station.

It’s a miniature pet elephant.

It’s an excellent point. Thank you for repeating it.

It wasn’t the point of my comment, but they have also been very reliable.

Happy to help. Can you let us in to visit, now, maybe? We’ll be nice, mostly.

Pretty sure that was the only car I saw in that picture. There were other cars there, too?

I am thoroughly unsurprised by the observation. Every first-snow-of-winter in the Denver area brings me a slew of facepalming as I see people who clearly forgot how to drive in the snow... they’re everywhere until roughly after Thanksgiving. Even though a lot of people are moving here from CA and warmer climates it’s…

My aunt & uncle have had two Touaregs (five years apart in age) and love them. Oddly enough, they’ve been very reliable.

I have successfully resisted the impulse to cake for the day. Tomorrow is a new day and I might cake, or I might not, tomorrow. Today I am cakeless.
