Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

There is a lot of money in those cakes. (And a lot of it American) Is there any sort of money/luck/celebration thing in Russia like there is in China?
Those cakes are so incredible.
I've never seen Ace of Cakes. Now I have an urge to watch it.
I am so glad my children have not (yet) removed anything from their diapers and redistributed it. I still get skid marks in the panties from the 4 year old, but never (yet) shit on the walls.
Hivemind, how do we feel about at-work baby-shower games? I made a very silly quiz for my coworker who loves (like, loooooves) Barack Obama last spring and it went over well. Now I am being encouraged to do some activity for today's shower. All I can think of is a simple "name that baby" thing where I give out slips and pencils and ask people to make (anonymous, and I hope funny) suggestions. Too lame?
One of the things I like least about my job is that by virtue of being the admin assistant, I am the de facto social director for my department, a position for which I am SO TOTALLY UNSUITED.
Name the baby sounds fun
Maybe some sort of rules similar to "porn name"?
Like, write down the name of your first sweetheart and a famous animal?
Then tell them "these are potential names for the baby" and all laugh at Bob Lassie and Suzie Jumbo
Trudy, nope. It was decidedly human in nature.
flea, it's been sort of a one step forward-two steps back thing with potty training with Owen. He makes great strides, then does something like this. Needless to say, I'm teetering at wits' end.
And Olivia seems to have ripped up some tea bags. The house smells like Darjeeling.
OWEN! Don't eat the tea!
quizzes, and that name quiz sound perfectly fine, seem like a good choice for "game" that does not cross the too-silly for work line.
I think in my new position I am in charge of department birthday/event recognition. They have been doing b'day things individually, but if new hires or consultants do not have managers that get their b'day info turned in, then they get missed. I think I am going to suggest moving to a monthly cake event for all events that month - that way, even if the event is not on the "official" calendar, it can get recognized.
There's got to be something book related.... Non-advice book with best advice for parents? Favorite novel character name?
We do that at my work, msbelle. We have a rotating list, so every individual employee gets to pick out a lunch once a month. In your case, it could be a cake/cupcake flavor.
