Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Trial of Cake

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.

I'd be happy to represent cake in this matter, Des. Just...give me some time alone with my client....

Cobie, I just have two arguements for the sparing of cake- chocolate and cheese.


Viva la cake!

As I wait for some alone time with my client...I should point out that Marie Antoinette never said, "let them eat pie!"

Cake: It's so good it has the power to distract angry mobs from beheading their rulers!

You've obviously never had my mom's Lemon Meringue Cake

Cobalt Kid, no matter how highly in regard I may esteem our friendship, I will fight the wanton condemnation and destruction of cake with my dying breath.

cake!

Sorry Cobie, but I'm against you on this one.

Life without cheesecake just isn't worth living.

Cobie, all the things you accuse Cake of are not Cake's fault. 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.

And let's not forget Cake's musical contributions: instant classics like "The Distance", "Frank Sinatra" and a kewl remake of "I Will Survive" among several others!

I don't like cake's name. Cake...that's what bad drag queens do with their make-up. Plus, cake rhymes with a bunch of other less than appealing words. For instance; fake, rake, break, ache, wake, flake, earthquake. And put "cup" in front of it and it becomes cupcake. And that's SEXIST!

If it's between pie and cake. I'll take pie any day. Blast cake off into the sunset!

Until Ram Boy brought up the earthquake issue, I hadn't realized how devious cake is.


Toss the damn fluffy thing.

This thread really takes the cake.

I accuse this court of being a bunch of mangiacakes. Go back to your cucumber finger sandwiches and end this farce.

Hear, hear.

cake > pie

That is all.

Oooo our spicy little lady is looking to throw down I think. Where's Lash when I need him?

Why, you can't take her by yourself?

No I can't. She's muy Caliente, and I'm merely Spong-ito.

Members of Legion World, I'd like to point out that No pie would EVER show up at a social function looking like THIS!

And this is AFTER I edited out the "Baby Ruth". Shameless!

YAY for cake in all its forms and flavours! Pie crust is so demanding.

Cake is so good when cooked in a pie crust with a little filling between cake layers. Is a war here really necessary? They seem to get along so well.

If it isn't a family secret, would you be willing to share the recipe, Quis? I like lemon stuff and this sounds intriguing.

Well I have to say, mom was never good at making the meringue. Basically, it is a chocolate sheet cake. You then use the lemon pie filling mix that you would for a pie on top and then the meringue. I'll see if I can find the exact recipe at my Dad's.

I object,

If these dessert liberals don't stop pushing the envelope there will be a backlash from the zealous pie fundamentalists. To them the intermixing of pie filling and cake is an affront to the sugary purity of cake and pie.

Call me old fashioned but I was never big on the mixing of the desserts. 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.
