I can think of cheaper ways to assure that you get all the candles on your birthday cake

My guess was that the surprise was a birthday cake.

I think they were just mentioning that to further the point that it should be a case-by-case basis instead of a zero tolerance bullshit policy. I was a victim of zero tolerance in high school, so maybe I'm biased.

I really hate the "precious little snowflake" mentality of some parents.

Did you guys read about the case where a girl brought a birthday cake to school with a knife to cut the cake? The teacher cut the cake and served it, THEN called the principal and reported her.. ugh.

I wish all these assholes enforcing this crap realized they are in effect ruining these pupils' educational lives. These things stay on your record and they really can prevent you from pursuing further education.

(runs in from other room) Ah excuse me, my apologies for being late! (approaches mic stand, furiously searching for speech, prepares)

It is in the course of our daily Sifting, that we are treated to some great videos by the person we are honoring here today. JiggaJonson, you've given us some of the best... (looks out and notices giant birthday cake hiding girl inside, "Hooray for gwiz665!!" emblazoned in icing along its base)

"Ah damn it!" (runs, doubles back) "Congrats gwiz!!!" (makes mad dash for the side doors)

This is like making the biggest birthday cake ever out of the contents of a septic tank. In other words yes the song does matter.

Tabernac!

i refuse to eat KFC but...
im pretty sure im fat because ive been eating birthday cake, birthday cake batter and frosting for 2 days.

Selfishness is much more complex than you may or may not realize

You have a piece of cake with 10 slices. Which of these are selfish and why?

0. You eat the whole cake yourself.

1. You invite 9 friends over to have a piece of cake.

2. You invite 9 friends over to have a piece of cake. A bum walks up and asks for a slice and you say no.

3. You invite 9 friends over to have a piece of cake. 9 bums walk up and ask for a slice and you say no.

4. You invite 9 friends over to have a piece of cake. A guy that you hate shows up and asks for slice and you say no.

5. You invite 9 friends over to have a piece of cake. A guy that has been picking on you/beating you up/stealing your cake since you were in 1st grade shows up and asks for a slice and you say no.

6. You invite 9 friends over to have a piece of cake. You have 100 other friends who you don't invite.

7. You invite 9 friends over to have a piece of cake. You know of someone who doesn't have much to eat, but they aren't one of the 9 you invite.

8. You invite 9 friends over to have a piece of cake. Millions of people starve to death every day and you don't invite any of them.

Selfish is the kid who can't share his birthday cake.

>> ^snoozn:
This lovely family was in the news a while back when their local shop refused to make a "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler" cake for them.


Yup, I posted the story in Sift Talk when it broke.

You'll find this with any political ideology. Euphamism is nothing new and left-wingers are as guilty as right-wingers when it comes to its use. But all this is unrelated to this book. I concur that selfishness is a "bad thing." Perhaps those who disagree should read "Atlas Shrugged" hehe.

^you say selfish as if selfish was a bad thing?
biggest problem with today's culture is that they've taken positive words and corrupted their usage, driving them into negative margins.

Selfish is a bad thing.
Selfish is the kid who can't share his birthday cake.
Selfish is the ten for me, one for you corporate culture we've allowed to hijack our country.
The biggest problem with the conservative culture is that they've taken bad words, which represent bad behavior, and given them good meanings.

But why would anyone name their child "Adolf Hitler"?
How Cruel!


If you think that's cruel you should see what they named their other kids. See also:

As an admin, I can remove your accidental downvote if you want.

As the submitter, I ask that you want.

In reply to this comment by Crosswords:
Totally didn't mean to downvote. Well since I did I might as well think of a reason... hmm... what a horrible waste of gas that must be for such a trivial thing.

hmm sounded like it would be better than that. who knew you could combine a helicopter, birthday, cake, and a knife and have it be so boring.
