Traditional king cake doesn't have a filling but bonus points for the Steen syrup.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mmmm. I liked when my CEO was from New Orleans and we would get king cake shipped in. That was good times.

Yeah, or one year my coworker had to go to New Orleans for work a week or so before, and brought us all back king cake. Mmm.
...I have no idea what "gooey butter cake" is, but now I want it, Anne!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It's basically a coffee cake with a yellow cakey base, and a sticky-gooey custard (which when baked, crusts over) on top.

Me too. Also, a French king cake. But I'm two months late on that one.

I'm starting to think Jessica Seinfeld is onto something -- I just put what I hope is my last bag of grated zucchini out of the freezer into spaghetti sauce, and it was totally imperceptible, eaten.

You guys, I have a family dilemma. My cousin's birthday is this weekend, and my parents can't go, so I thought I was off the hook -- until my aunts offered me a ride. I don't really want to go, but also don't really have a conflict. Ugh. I guess I have to go?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, Jesse. Lying is your friend.

I would like to see my cousins, I guess. This is why it's a conflict! If it was going to be a nightmare, I would just say I can't make it. It'll be fine, but will cut WAY INTO my sitting-around time.
