We only said they had to bring the next one to the next party or next year. So not day after day.
So my co-workers were even crazier than I thought at the time? Well, all right!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But didn't Hopper pick Jared up first thing the second day after they met and talked? I seem to recall a scene (I love watching online, but scanning for particular scenes isn't convenient) of Jared jumping into the Avalanche (see? Product placement works. Okay, not until I buy one, I guess).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Well, the theory is that they've had really good luck that year because of finding the baby, so the least they can do is spring for a cake.

I remember the scene you mean, he did pick him up, but I don't think Jared knew who he was - Hopper asked if Jared knew him and J was noncommittal, said something about forgetting a lot of things, or something similar that could mean "I didn't recognize you at first, but know I know who you are", or "I don't remember you, but I'll believe we've met".

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Oh, I didn't know there was luck attached. That makes so much more sense.

Hah! I'm trying to imagine what y'all must've thought the tradition was. "Dammit! Somebody got a plastic baby in their piece! I guess that means Hopkins has the cake tomorrow."
Filing that next to, "There's a canoe with beer!" "IT'S A PIROUGE!" and "Who Dat!?!" "The Saints!" "IT'S A CHEER!" in people who didn't grow up like I did are funny.

Thanks, -t. That explains better why he went to hospital to get the world's-fastest-MRI-with-reading.
For the relationship bitter among us. I snicker because I have a couple designs that fit the theme.

Art Crawl!!!
My thought was that Hopper had been convinced that the looping was a manifestation of some sort of seizure but then the biting comment made him rethink.

Pretty much, with a subtext of "Everyone must eat cake until on the verge of explosion." I don't know how I missed out on king cake thing growing up, it just wasn't really done in my crowd for whatever reason. But half of the small workplace and probably more than that in the previous larger office were native New Orleanians.
Now that I think about it, they probably all conspired to increase the volume of cake being brought. Sweet plan, if so.
