Trial of Cake #253719 08/10/07 05:17 PM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 34,634 If you don't want my peaches, ... Cobalt Kid OP Bold Flavors OP Cobalt Kid Bold Flavors Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 34,634 If you don't want my peaches, ... LMBers and Legion Worlders, let me be brief. Cake, long known to be an enemy of pie, is under arrest for not being as fulfilling, and being a general one-trick pony. I propose we sentence it to death by firing it in into the sun via an atomic cannon. It is up for you to decide. All yays count as yay, and all abstinations also count as yay. Any Legion Worlder who does not vote, including the 10,000+ alt IDs and lurkers will count as yay. I guess the nays could count as nay. Lets let democracy take hold from here on.

Rather, like so many of us, Cake is the victim of our souless, consumerist, reductionist, materialist society. Once upon a time there were great regional Cakes in this country--the misnamed but delicious Boston Cream Pie, the demonically good Southern Red Cake, the New York Cheese Cake, the California Carrot Cake, the Texas Angel Food, to name just a few. Then, Cake was seduced by the Birthday and Wedding Industrial Complexes. "We'll make you bigger than ever, Cake" they whispered in his frosting. In fact, they have reduced him to a bland, homogenized, McDonaldized commodity, a sad empty shell of his former glory, unappreciated, just a sickly sweet gateway to gifts. Please, Cobie, don't sentence Cake to punishment for the sins of this sick society. Spare Cake, and do your own little part to restore him to his former greatness. ...but you don't have a moment where you're sitting there staring at a table full of twenty-five characters with little name signs that say, "Hi, my superpower is confusing you!"

But this is a new era, so maybe I'm behind the times. DoubleChinner made some very good arguements about the commercial seduction of cake. Like Caligula, cake had a horrible early life despite having such great potential. But also like Caligula, cake has long been known for a campaign of murder, cannibalism and sexual perversion. And as Ram Boy pointed out, all those Earthquakes in California are generally cake's fault. Sure, I like a good show of mercy like any liberal. But I'm not convinced that we shouldn't drag cake through the streets and cover it with tar and feathers, and then shoot it into the sun, while enjoying its horrible screams like a fine symphany, while sipping a fine glass of aged single malt scotch.

I would urge any pie loyalists to be extremely wary of Boston cream pie. This self-professed "pie" is actually nothing more than two layers of yellow cake and a meager layer of custard, barely disguised by a thin veil of chocolate glaze. Boston cream "pie" is therefore significantly more cake than pie. I wouldn't be surprised if Boston cream pie turns out to be the Benedict Arnold of the impending cake/pie civil war!

Cake could not have possibly made you fat your Honor. It was this pie. A tiny 310 gram slice of this pie has 65 grams of fat and 990 calories.

Then he handed me the glass of wine and told me that the slower I sipped it after I finished my dessert, the happier I'd be. He was right. Some other guest either didn't ask for or didn't heed his advice, downed a whole brownie, and spent the night crawling around on his hands and knees, talking to small children and furniture and people's feet.

So it was time to bump this thread. Ah, Ram Boy... we hardly knew ye'. Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt!

Took it to an MST3K viewing party and it was gone in about 20 minutes. If anyone wants to try it, get to the library for this book: Rustic Fruit Desserts I don't bother with fou-fou ingredients like "Ultra-fine Byzantium Gold sea salt" or whatever but it still turned out well. These are local bakers, but I don't think I've ever checked their place out. Last edited by cleome50; 04/15/17 11:28 AM. Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt!

Hi! This is Khfeurb Chee Bez with your Legion World News. Tonight's headlines: More clashes between the Cake Innocence Project and the Pie Protection Agency. Persistent Eccling from the Cakes demonstration seems to have incited the Pie Agency, resulting in reports of assault and Battenberg and some cakes becoming Angels. A request for a statement from the Pie Protection Agency was met with a tart response. "...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Originally Posted by doublechinner Cobie, all the things you accuse Cake of are not Cake's fault.

Once upon a time there were great regional Cakes in this country--the misnamed but delicious Boston Cream Pie, the demonically good Southern Red Cake, the New York Cheese Cake, the California Carrot Cake, the Texas Angel Food, to name just a few. Then, Cake was seduced by the Birthday and Wedding Industrial Complexes. "We'll make you bigger than ever, Cake" they whispered in his frosting. In fact, they have reduced him to a bland, homogenized, McDonaldized commodity, a sad empty shell of his former glory, unappreciated, just a sickly sweet gateway to gifts. Please, Cobie, don't sentence Cake to punishment for the sins of this sick society. Spare Cake, and do your own little part to restore him to his former greatness. Wow, it's incredible to note Doublechinner's impassioned defense of cake 10 years ago!

(I missed my chance! ) But I don't believe a Pie Wrecks site exists. Probably because a certain surviving U.S. cookware maker would've sued them out of existence within 10 days time. Hey, Kids!
