And when you're done eating the cake, you can put this on your dashboard to protect you from old people who shouldn't be driving.

How much time is left on the 6-hour clock?? How long did it take to make all those tiers?? How many ovens were they able to use?? How long did it take a cake that thick to cool enough to frost? How long does it take the frosting to dry before you can safely add the pièce de résistance, Mother Nature Mary?? These are the questions I have. You can't just assume I know everything about cake baking and will understand what's going on. You have to explain it to me.

Hey, look over there! It looks like something is going on at the convention center. I hope the heavy traffic doesn't make John Dill late for his cake making contest at the Comfort Inn.

Kennedy Center Honors the Original Cast of Star Trek (I hope)
In my mind, my brother was never a geek. In fact, he was the cool one. But he has started this petition to award Kennedy Center Honors to the surviving cast members of the original Star Trek.
Each year the White House grants Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime contribution to American culture. STAR TREK'S surviving original cast members, William Shatner (Captain Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), George Takei (Mr. Sulu), Walter Koneig (Mr. Chekov), and Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura), are very deserving of this honor. STAR TREK premiered in 1966 and has become an unparalleled phenomenon, continuing to spawn motion pictures and television spin-offs. At the time of its release the series was not only groundbreaking as science fiction entertainment, but also socially, promoting racial equality in a time when it was still a new idea. Nichols played television's first African American female in a significant role. Takei played an Asian American role that was free of stereotype.
I was the geek, so heck yeah, I'm going to sign the petition! And you should too because if you ever read this blog, you are probably a geek too. Just click this link and log in to register to sign the petition.

Uh oh. This does not bode well for the cake carrying portion of the competition.
Thank you to Thorpnotized for this informative study in cake competitions:

Well, now we know why the cake is pink. They're using pink cake tins. That makes sense.

This story keeps getting better and better... the plot has deftly evolved from two old people entering a cake decorating contest for youngsters, to two old people who have to carry a cake on local television, thus building dramatic tension and probable comedy high jinx all at the same time!

Ah, yes, the dreaded cake carrying portion of the competition. Contestants are required to carry their creations across the balance beam of youthful ambition, through the tunnel of innocent dreams, and down the slippery slide of childhood innocence, all while avoiding the pit of burning old tires, and the low hanging branches of antediluvian abandon. I can see why Mary is nervous.

Gee, Mary, don't you think you might be too old to make a cake? I mean, that's really a younger man's sport.
