How does one become an advocate for chocolate cupc
Posted by edblysard on Wednesday, June 4, 2003 11:34 PM
There has been several posting mentioning an elsusive chocolate cake, and a apparent attempt by this cake to avoid consumption, by not blowing it's horn, ringing it's bell, and having bad triangeluar sight lines.
Beside Martha Stewart.com, does anyone know how we can correct this erratic behavior by a member of the fourth food group? We would like it to sit still, so we can slice it into enough parts to make matt, kev and jenny happy, but it seems to have absconded with federal funds earmarked for the protection of veggietables at the dip platter, and is hiding out somewhere.
We are forming a committee to send out junk mail to all the cake bakers web sites in an attempt to foster ill will towards chocolate cake, and its ilk, because we are in favor of cupcakes instead of cake.

Well, its sad, but stripes went out in the 90s, so she will just have to do with a contrasting pair of shower sandels and a scarf. And I bet they make her a kitchen trustee.

Kev, know what cheese is? Moldy curddled milk, with bactieria and some yeast spores.
Yummy. By the way, the bactieria and mold in most cheese is user friendly, it lives in your stomach, and helps digest food and dairy products.
Grossed out yet?

To: Your Great Uniheadedness Sir Ed,
Usually you make sense or at least good humor. That is, up until the last paragraph of the above referenced post. In the last paragraph YOU HAVE GONE TOOOO FAR !! In my position as Chief Scrounge in the Brotherhood of Food Scroungers I simply must warn you that any actions taken against the institution of "Chocolate Cake" and ALL of it's residents, even including the lowly cup cake, MUST be opposed by our organization. This is a warning slash across your bow. Failure on your part to rescind the noxious order to "foster ill will towards chocolate cake" will certainly result in an armed, with cake knives, uprising of the BfS forces. I warn you now, WE ARE LEGION. AND have representatives in ALL cities, towns and villages. Worldwide. Use care your Uniheadedness, as there are forces within your organization that WILL side with BfS. In the interests of preventing outright conflict I will expose one of our moles in your organization. Jenny is a closet BfS represntative. Even if she does not know it, her past actions prove the point . . .

We are allowing a 24 hour cooling off period, on your part, hopefully expecting a retraction of your ill advised and offensive directive in order to prevent a crumby global conflict.

Do not pooh-pooh our cake knives, they are forged from 20 pound dry yard rail. Good quality steel.


Chief Scrounge of BfS

Lowell

PS: It was really Jenny who ate the original cake. She just beat me to it. Darn . . .

anybody who would mention 'slice' and 'cupcake' together is awful sick.. civilized people eat them whole, because they know it is 'cake' that is 'cupped' and eaten in the hand, without assistance from violence-prone instruments such as knives and forks..

about the components of cheese.. there is nothing so distasteful that is not improved when covered by a great serving of catsup, or as they say in texas, ketchup..

eeeeyew!

No no no! Cheese should be melted and then eaten - and no American! Only Cheddar. And cottage cheese should be sprinkled with a little sugar and then eaten raw!

To All:
After several sincere and earnest discussions with close advisors, I will call an emergency meeting of the Unihead Grand Conusel, with the equality of cake versus cup cakes first on the agenda. The advised atempt to foster ill will towards chocolate cake was a mis-interpertaion of several cake bakers web sites, which purported to support the safe comsumption of cake, but were, in fact, really fronts for cake hater organizations determined to twist facts about chcolate cakes and promote their wish for cup cakes to be in the forefront of baked products. In as much as we wi***o be fair, we will explore the pros and cons of both cakes in whole, and cup cakes as a portable version of the cake proper.
Note too, that is has been brought to our attention that BfSers seem to have an inexhaustable supply of Jelly Belly jelly beans, and currently hold the western production facility. It is our wi***o forge an allience with the BfS faction, and wi***o arrange a meeting at which the above mentioned chocolate cake and cup cake issue can be resolved with minimunal distrubance to lunch. A possable Crusade to educate the eastern veggie loving heathrens may also present itself after dinner.
Lastly, we were aware of jennys predilication towards chocolate cake in all forms, but we had hopes counseling would help. Sadly, it seem all was in vain. We know she, along with a smaller accomplice know only as matt, have exhausted the supply of pre baked chocolate cake, which was held in reserve for a trip we had planned.
Any help in finding a replacement cake would be welcome.
Stay Frosty,
The Unihead Ed

Jen, I am thoroughly annoyed with you ! Imagine, just IMAGINE, the insult to a good complete/fanatic MoPar person. Calling him a Cad !! Too much, just too much !

As to consulting with the Knights of the Roundtable, I thought they only dealt with Pizza problems.

May the light in your closet go dark !

AP and Ruters news service release: 06/05/03

INSIDE SOURCE STATES "CAKE WAR OVER"

An appearent pantry revolt has occured in the secret Unihead Compound somehwere outside Houston, Texas. An AP stringer reported seeing The Unihead Ed being chased around the compound by his wife, Aimee, who was wielding a large loaf of french bread, and was seen to strike the Unihead several times about the head and shoulders with the loaf, screaming "you better change your mind".
Shortly thereafter, in a quickly called press conference, a spokesperson for the Unihead, who asked not to be identified, read this from a prepaired statement.
"The Unihead Ed, in an attempt to restore peace and tranquility to the pantry, and in response to an earlier mentioned summit on cakes and cupcakes, has declared chocolate cake, with or without sprinkles, to be the offical confection of all Uniheads. Cupcakes will be returned to its earlier status as a CCRE, (CupCakes Ready to Eat)similar to the MREs of the armed forces."
This seems to reverse an earlier decision to place cupcakes on the same level as cake.
In response to a direct question, the spokesperson quoted the Unihead as saying, "We were mis-lead by people who, at first, seemed genuinely to care about the cupcake and cake issue, but later seemed intent to only stir dissent amoungist the food loving Uniheads. Their underhanded tactics of first posing as friends of the chocolate cake, but then introducing web sites devoted to cake haters, followed by their slanderous and misleading statements and their glareing ommisions and twisting of all the facts to fit their needs lead us astray, at first. But we reconized their foul stench quickly, due in part from having had to deal with them in the past, and acted quickly to set things in their proper perspective. As pointed out by an adviser, cupcakes are uniquely designed to be a cake that can be "cupped" in the hand, and comsumed by an individual, with no slicing or cutting required. We find this uniqueness to fit perfectly with our need for a portable version of the chocolate cake, which has now been restored to it rightfull place of honor. Our only wish now is that the haters would leave, and take their garbage with them, as we find littering this site to be a true offense against nature and common sense, after all, we dont dump our garbage in their yard"
Later, the Unihead was seen to enter his workshop, where unconfirmed sources say he has a seceret stash of Jelly Belly jelly beans.

Sir Unihead Ed,
The Brotherhood of food Scroungers gleefully accepts your retraction of previous aggregeous statements against Chocolate Cake. Now peace and pieces can again reign supreme in the pantry.

However, this brings up two interesting questions.

1) Is the pantry actually where Jenny was hiding ?

2) got milk ???

Didn't read all the way down the thread, but I have a "sure-fire" recipie for some "kick-A&*" brownies. As a batchelor, I have to do my own cooking. I never go on a railfan trip without firing up a batch of these heavenly delights.
If anyone is interested in the recipie, let me know, and I'll post it here on this thread.
