Dude, cheap cake is the bomb.

There is no shame in what you've done.

I know you're not a public official, Dan, but accepting bribes in exchange for common courtesy smacks of some sort of ethical failing.

Yes, it does, Matthew. I am a bad man.

Oh man, this is the new best method EVER for delivering passive-aggressive messages. :-D

What do you do for pie?

Don't care for pie.

Considering you reference them in every 3rd Savage Love Column, that cake should be made of money, if you ask me.

My partner and I have VM messages that implore callers to not leave voicemail but to instead send text messages. I hate dealing with my voicemail.

Which is funny, considering I work for a phone company.

For Fuck sakes...I'm sure you could find some cute lil fag intern to listen to them, and prioritize them for you....

What I want to know is who eventually deflowered that cake?

So, to bribe Dan it is cake, or Molly Moon ice cream, but no pie.

Don't tell your boss you surf Slog all day.

It must be rough being so popular.

When I was a kid, my friends and I were obsessed with getting a frosting flower on our slice of cake. Of course, the frosting is the best part of cheap ass sheet cake.

Dan, if you were a Republican, now would be a great time to start telling everybody how you've always been a staunch opponent of cake bribes.

Cheap cake, huh?

Well, it's less effort than anal, I guess.

There's never a bad time to remind people of the wonder of the cake wrecks blog.

Since this is a Savage post and a cake post, it seems appropriate to ask... does anyone else get a rise from Geoff on Ace of Cakes? I'd like to have my cake and eat him too.

1. At least Babelanders know how to communicate effectively in this era of over-saturation.

2. @4: Yes, Dan, you ARE a bad man.. very very bad. Naughty, naughty. You ought to be punished. Very very naughty. Many many spankings. Report to your disciplinarian for the appropriate punishment.

@9: Don't care for pie.

Does not compute.


@20: YES. I am in love with Geoff. I want to sit around and watch him roll out fondant all day long.

@9--What? You don't "care for pie"? What about homemade cherry pie, yo? Ahem.

What does it take for you to return emails? Homemade jam? : )

Maybe you should ask Rachel why Babeland is still selling soft jelly toys which contain pthalates, when they've known about the dangers of them for over 5 years (and likely much longer)?

I mean shit, why not ask her when they're gonna stop selling the Rabbit? Be a little more pro-feminist and actually stop selling shit that could give people cancer of the puss, rather than having some bullshit advice page which tells people "well- uh- pthalates are in other stuff too!"?

Give Rachel my regards and tell her that while it's possible that pthalates could be in my flooring, shower curtain, or raincoat as her company's page suggests, I'm not putting any of those things in my vagina.

"Woman Friendly" my fat ass.

Don't care for pie? You are taking this gay thing a little too seriously.

Or

Don't care for pie? Now THAT'S gay.

Or

Don't care for pie? Whaddya, gay?

Whichever, at the least, you're unAmerican.

Anyone who can be bribed with cake is awesome!

As you've pointed out, you are contractually obligated... as a gay man.... to eat ass, but not sub-standard, mass-produced, petro-chemically created CAKE.

If we can't depend on the gay community to demand quality baked goods then we're all going to hell in a Twinkie.

@ 24-- The rabbit model toys that Babeland carries are all made from phthalate-free materials: soft vinyl, elastomer, or silicone. They do carry very few jelly rubber toys, but the employees are always sure to tell you about phthalates and what the risks are. They even give you a free condom to drive the point home!

Pandering for cake.... seems like a good idea now, but wait until the umpteenth sprayed on frosting, sponged, canned peached topping, taro root flavored one arrives - your colleagues will wish they hadn't put you up to it.

Appropriate, cause Sept 14th is Moon Cake Festival on the Chinese lunar calendar.
