Thanksgiving is coming up (for us Americans, anyway), which means a lot of us are about to spend a lot of time with our families. When my family gets together we like to cook, eat, laugh, eat, and play a whole lot of board games. Then we eat again.

So, in the spirit of two of our favorite activities, let's get our game on!

Scrabble ALWAYS makes its way to our coffee table during the holidays:

By Cake Central user ToniRod

And it stays on the table for days because we all take hour-long turns. I'm serious. One Christmas, I played a game of Scrabble with my aunt that lasted two and a half days. (And I totally won.)

Chess, anyone?

By The Chocolate House

I love how the tiers and floating pieces add dimension to a traditionally flat board game. Very cool!

My aunt and uncle just informed me that Settlers of Catan will be a big part of Thanksgiving this year. So I guess I should figure out what that is.

By Ann Zeleny

Meanwhile, I'll just eat these adorable cookies.

Here's an old favorite:

By Fields of Cake

Chinese Checkers is kinda like that game at Cracker Barrel where you have to jump the pegs, right? Except it's much harder and doesn't come with dumplings?

Ah, here's a game I'm very familiar with... on the computer. Mah jong!

By Blackmarket Bakery

Unfortunately I have no idea how to play this in real life, though. Anybody want to teach me? Or make bracelets out of the tiles with me?

This colorful cutie has nothing to be sorry for!

By The House of Cakes

That's "sorry," as in, "I'm sorry for eating all of the leftover pecan pie."

Here's a perfectly piped way to show the meaningful moments in a couple's life together:

By Sweetest Perfections

So sweet! And I'd play this game a lot more if "GO TO JAIL" was always replaced with "GO TO JAMAICA."

Here's another couple who thought outside the box:

By MichelleSugarArt

Yep, guys. That's really cake.

Make room for a childhood favorite:

By Dolce Designs

This cake makes me hungry, hungry!

And another kids' game everyone loves:

By Debbie Does Cakes

It even has gum drop mountains!

Of course, if you can't decide which game to play, why not play them all?

Baker unknown.

Just remember: be nice, let your little brother win, and never - NEVER - sell Boardwalk.

Ever.

Happy Sunday!

*****

Here's a new game - at least to me - that's getting rave reviews for family game time:

Beat That! The Bonkers Battle Of Wacky Challenges

Beat That comes with a huge assortment of physical game challenges, from bouncing balls into cups to picking up dice with a pair of chopsticks, and you bet with tokens on which challenges you think you can beat inside the time limit. Looks like fast-paced, silly fun. I'm thinking of bringing it to Thanksgiving this year, to break up the post-turkey sleepy time, heh.

I've often thought the "sex-reveal cake" trend was fraught with peril, and today's wreck is a good example of why.

In case you haven't heard of it, the reveal cake has either pink or blue icing hidden inside, depending on the baby's sex - but the kicker is, the parents bring that info sealed from their doctor to the bakery, so the cake is how they find out if they're having a boy or a girl.

So...you're trusting a baker to correctly communicate your baby's sex?

Gee, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[whistling innocently]

Happily Kevin S. and his wife already knew they were having a boy, but for fun they decided to send a reveal cake to his parents to break the news. As is typical, they asked for it to be white on the outside and decorated with pink and blue polka dots, plus maybe a few question marks. Then they asked for blue icing inside the cake.

When the special order arrived at Kevin's parents' house, this is what they found:

o.0

And to think: someone looked at this and thought, "Yeah, that's what the customer wanted."

(John says you should read that cake out loud. So, go on. DO EET!)

Still, as baby cake trends go, it could always - ALWAYS - be worse:

...and frequently is. *sigh*

Thanks to Kevin and Stephanie F. for that revealing slice of humor.

The arrival of a new baby is usually a time of joy and celebration.

Er...usually.

"Well, the stork was busy, so we figured we'd just chuck the lil' tyke out around 30,000 feet. Why? Is that a problem?"

You know, people are always talking about the sweet little toes and fingers and stuff, but you want to know the CUTEST part?

"Jus' wookit dat widdle ootsey wootsey skulley wulley!"

"Hey, anyone else think Julie's looking a little tense today?"

"It's all downhill from here, kid.

"MWUAH-HA-HA-HAAA!!"

Ahem.

"We call this one the 'Tub of Love:'"

"What do you mean, you're not supposed to put babies in full bathtubs?

"Ok, ok, FINE."

[splashing]

[thump]

"Better?"

Thanks to Elizabeth S., Marisa T., Anne J., Emily L., & Jilissa K. for throwing up the baby with the bath water.

Oh, throw OUT?

Um... sure, ok, thanks for that, too.

(ATTN PARENTS: This post contains material somewhat "adult" in nature.)

Once upon a time there was a girl named Amber.

Amber decided that school was not for her. Fortunately, she had loving and supportive parents.

One day Amber was offered an exciting new job. To celebrate, she added an apostrophe to her name, thinking it would make her seem more sophisticated. Again, her parents were supportive.

Unfortunately, introducing herself as "Amber - the apostrophe is silent" did not yield the results Amber was hoping for. Still, she did make some new friends at work: Cassie the C...er...Cat, and "Long Lips" Lisa.

Of course, every job has its hazards:

Which Lisa and Cassie were always there to commiserate with:

Then one day, after an unfortunate misunderstanding between the girls and a city health inspector looking for "clogged plumbing", disaster:

Amber said goodbye to her newfound - albeit diseased - friends, and despaired over finding another job to suit her rather unique skill set and wardrobe. Fortunately, her ever-supportive parents were way ahead of her:

THE END.

Thanks to today’s illustrious Wreckporters Wendy E., Monique R., Alex H., Michele D., & Amber (no apostrophe) S., and Alexa B.

Bakers, with Thanksgiving coming up, I think you need to see this.

This, my friends, is a turkey.

Now, I know this comes as a shock. After all, you've been lied to all these years! But then, how could you possibly have known that turkeys actually DON'T all come in cans?

Now that's what we call a "can-doo" attitude!

In fact, when you think about it, it's really only natural to assume a turkey with a head injury bleeds rainbows:

Or that baby turkeys are cute enough to turn even hardened carnivores into raw vegans:

"Please, sir, might you consider the tofurkey this year? I hear it's lovely with a bit of quinoa."

Of course, some of you chose to model your turkeys on other things.

Like flamingos...

Or your least favorite cousin...

Or, from the looks of things, your last colonoscopy:

"Personally, I've taken a shine to the 'frizzy fecal' style."

Still, the good news is you bakers have always known exactly what a turkey sounds like:

Honestly, it's uncanny.

Thanks to Scott A., Kathryn S., Beth P., D.W., Dion H., Karen, & Mike B. for inspiring me to shout "gooble gooble!" at every lawn flamingo I see. That's right, neighbors, who's the "antisocial recluse" now? Huh? HUH?!

*****

Have y'all tried nail wraps? They're all the rage, my friends love them - but the brand names cost about $8 a set. I found this Fall collection on Amazon with decent reviews, though, and you get a dozen sets for only $13:

Thanksgiving Nail Decal Set

Cuuuuute.

I know, I know, sometimes you're in a hurry, and you have to grab just any ol' cake off the shelf for your party.

However.

Why this one?

If you're fishing for a compliment, then that's strike one.

And if you bring this home to celebrate your sixth anniversary?

Well, let's just say there are other fish in the sea. Who can spell.

Wow, I'm so glad they remembered the glass slipper on Dad's cake!

The pink purse alone was just a little too cliché, you know?

It's not always a case of last-minute cake decisions, though; sometimes people choose this stuff intentionally.

And you thought dinosaurs were agnostic.

This cake was part of a Breast Cancer Awareness display:

Is that Coraline's creepy button-eyed Other Mother?

We can only hope.

Speaking of cakes that will blow your mind, how about a dust mite encouraging you to have healthy digestive regularity?

And darned if I just don't want to disappoint the little fella, too.

Thanks to Wreckporters Kati, Theresa G., Mark R., Danielle N., Anony M., & Kaitlin.

P.S. You could say the dino cake inspired me:

If the kids ask, April just got a new bottle of shampoo.

*flap flap flap*

Take note, everyone: "Yoth!" is the new 40.

Be sure to adjust your birthday cards accordingly.

Whoah. Not only did they screw up the "screwed up" inscription, it's a cupcake cake. [patooey!] Now, CCC defenders, I want you to look at all that icing smeared under and around the individual cupcakes, and then I want you to find a real cake, and I want you to apologize to it. Do it! Do it now!!

Ahem.

Hey, you know how some people's "i"s look like "7"s, and their "g"s look like "6"s?

No?

Well, now you do.

A big thanks to Wreckporters J7ll W., Paulette M., Dan7elle S., Barbara M., & Ashle76h.

P.S. I have to introduce you to the handiest little kitchen gadget for under $7:

The whole thing is magnetic, and it also comes with a double-sided adhesive for non-metallic machines. Also comes in black, and there's a prettier cursive option if you don't want the bright red/green!

olliesqueens is a dreamwidth community dedicated to het & gen relationships of Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow, thus "Ollie's Queens". The community was imported from LiveJournal, it originally focused on the Smallville version of Oliver Queen het & gen relationships. Since lack of works posted to LJ for awhile and since Smallville had ended back 2011 (Smallville Season 11 ended in 2014) & Arrow ended in 2020, Ollie's Queens has since opened up to any universe Oliver Queen exists in, including comics, animation, films, and shows of course.

Your wish = my command.

"Ok, but I'm adding these decorative scrolly bits to show you what an awesome decorator I am."

"Oh, I'm getting the picture alright." [winkwink]

"Hey, you know those times when you should be seeing red, but instead you feel kinda blue?"

"Yeah, me neither."

I know they keep pushing back the retirement age, but this is ridiculous:

Worst. Retirement package. Ever.

Clearly this "celabrate" you speak of refers to an activity with which I am unfamiliar.

Ever notice what a difference an "e" can make?

Ouch.

Or the lack of proper spacing?

Woohoo! Uric acid-induced arthritis! Yeah!

At first glance I thought this next cake said "gobbles," which you must admit would have been perfect on an edible baby cake.

Of course, if you say it fast enough this actually almost sounds right.

And, poof!
Just like that, I got you all to say the word "Gobbless" under your breath.

BOW BEFORE YOUR PUPPET MASTER!

Bwah-ha-haa-haaa!!!

Ahem.

And finally, a reminder of the importance of commas:

"The first 102rd moms were just so-so, but number 103th? BINGO."

Thanks to Bethany V., Clare P., Jason T., Angela L., Erin L., & Rachel M., and whoever first put an "rd" superscript over a number two. (Seriously, just try to pronounce "2rd" without giggling. Go on.)

*****

P.S. In case this post wasn't painful enough:

Exceptionally Bad Dad Jokes

There are a lot of "dad joke" books out there, but this one has awesome ratings AND the word "spiffing" on the cover, so it's a clear winner.
