My contribution to an upcoming dining event is a cake.
I make this really good cake with a boxed cake mix and some pudding. It’s really good. It came out of the oven a few minutes ago and yes, I licked the beaters. I licked the spatula and the bowl.
I think if they made cake batter in a tube this good, I would eat it directly from the tube.
Have you ever noticed that everyone calls that rubber-headed scraper thing a “spatula”? Truthfully, it’s a rubber-scraper. A “spatula” is in fact the flipper-ooni thing you use to turn over hamburgers or eggs. I however, will continue to use the word “spatula” incorrectly until the rest of the world ceases the following:
Prevent-A-tive – It’s really preventive.
Orient-A-ted – It’s really oriented.
Meijer’s – It’s just Meijer.
and the rare, but still completely annoying:
K-mart’s
I am willing to kill for less.
maybe it’s just me?
(Obligitory Simpson’s quote) “Spatula City! spatula city. Spatula CITY!”
The one that really annoys me? “A whole nother”. GRRRRR!
Now, I remember that Home-Ec teacher in junior high was insistent that the rubber scraper thingie really is called a “spatula”, while the flat doobie used for pancake and burger flippin’ is called a “turner”.
But that was in Indiana, maybe things are different in Michigan.
yeah, but “irregardless” of that, I noticed that you’re making up words too *heh* I personally liked “flipper-ooni” :)
Oh, and the “Spatula City” quote actually comes from the movie “UHF”, starring Wierd Al Yankovic – along with other classic moments such as “Wheel of Fish”, and getting to drink from the fire hose! A classic and funny movie – well worth watching when you’re in a silly mood at some point :)
funninessity…
yes.
oh–and, you need to warsh your car.
