If John, who works three cubes over, seemed excessively enthusiastic about carving up and eating my naughty bits I think would have to just transfer to another division. ---

Also, the [Cake Boss](http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2010/05/cake-boss-premiere-everyone-has-eyes-for-buddys-wife-video.html)did an episode where he had his crew help him make a cake of his wife for her birthday last year. She didn’t ask for it in her case. It was weird. The boobs were like a blowup doll’s, the face looked like a man, etc. ---

My sister and good friend are both cake decorators and I think this is pretty interesting; I also think they’d get a kick out of being commissioned to make something like this. Whatever, narcissism, maybe so. But it’s still kinda neat. I never would do it for myself, but I still think it’s a fun idea. ---

> [@Beware\_of\_Doug](#): > > Well, there were those [thirteen popes](http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm)… Pfaugh, still nowhere near as many as Johns and three less than Bennies. Nowadays it’s extremely unusual but I do know a couple of guys in their 80s by that name: maybe the husband got named after his grandfather. Couldn’t they have made the arms and face of marzipan? I’ve seen some HUGE marzipan sculptures (stuff like a 2m tall Sagrada Familia, soccer stadiums big enough for one or two people to stand in…). ---

Wow. I’ve been thinking about what I want to do for a wedding cake and this is the answer to all my problems. Although my boyfriend would be absolutely horrified. I mean, 200 EGGS? That’s just extravagance. ---

Whatever, narcissism, maybe so. But it’s still kinda neat. I never would do it for myself, but I still think it’s a fun idea. Yeah I have to admit that I see things the same way. She basically commissioned a tacky piece of art for herself. A lot of people do that, at least this one turned into cake and fed a whole bunch of people. If the baker got paid, and the delivery guy got tipped, then win-win. ---

**Haze** , maybe you should point out that certain choice bits will be reserved for his mouth only. And use marzipan. ---

That was incredible foresight on the part of his parents; he could be hauled into any courtroom on any charge and be able to say “Your Honor, I’m Innocent” and be telling the truth! Even if he was guilty! ---
