Fit to be Tied

Have your tie and... eat it, too? Writing this blog post is a piece of cake. Very clever stuff at a very sweet web site.

As one who drools in front of the ice cream [and especially the ice cream cakes] freezer displays inside of supermarkets, I ALMOST ATE MY COMPUTER SCREEN after observing this. If I ever found myself upon death row and being asked for my last meal wishes, there would only be one choice............a five gallon container of ICE CREAM. The TV show 'Cake Boss' makes me want to dive head first at the screen!!!!!!!!!!

Be careful Oldefarte, they're just color pixels on your TV screen, they're not real ice cream cakes!! But thanks for the explanation, because I've always wondered who was responsible for all that drool on the doors, in the frozen food section!! Just say No to the Ice Cream Cake!! Just take it one day at a time, no to the cake!! I feel like some cake now, thanks Oldefarte!!

And let's hope the Oldefarte never ends up on death row, either!

I always thought an old fart would be the perfect killer. He or she could get in close because no one would suspect them and when caught, death wouldn’t scare them and a life sentence could be done standing on their head, so to speak.
If they hired out as paid killers arrangements could be made to give the money to their children. This would be especially attractive to parents who do not have anything to pass down to loved ones. Also it would be very hard to get them to talk and expose who hired them, since the lure of a plea bargain would be muted by the killer's age and in turn serious punishment.
I am just kidding it would be hell to look at every old person walking down the street with the same fear Obama's grandmother experienced when she saw a black person. Hopefully none of the old timers can find their reading glasses or will have the text setting to largest on their screen and will be barred from getting any money making ideas from my post.
