Away In A Bakery

With all the hustle and bustle at this time of year, it's important to remember the real reason for the Christmas season:

Wait. That doesn't seem right...

Erm...

To be fair, if you sound that out you get "Juices."

So there's that.

Now I'm getting confused.

Chusl, I don't even know anymore.

Thanks to Barbara P., Stacy N., Nicole K., Amanda D., & Amy A. for having the presents of mind to take these pictures.

Juses loves me, this I know,
For the cake wrecks tell me so.
Merry Chidmas just seems wrong,
But it makes a nifty song.

Yes, Jessuse loves me.
Yes, Juses loves me.
Yo, Jessus loves me.
The cake wrecks tell me so.

[Zippy]

This only seems fair after all the Hanukkah spelling wrecks.

@SuBee, too funny!

[Jennifer]

I will now be signing, "Away in a Bakery" in my head all day. Thank you for that.

[Cathy]

I shall spend the remainder of this holiday season telling people "Merry Chudmas"!!

[Jodi]

Bwah Subee and Jennifer!

I feel a tad bit of sympathy for that last wreckerator because that is what happens to me when I write with a pen. My brain seems to go too fast for my hand and when I look back at what I've written, letters are left out and others are very badly formed. Then again...I'm not a professional cake decorator who gets paid to make things look nice, so maybe I have NO sympathy for this wreckerator!

In honor of Haiku Joy:

Sacreligious cakes
How sad it is to misspell
The name of our Lord!

[Maureen]

@SuBee -- LOL
And thanks, CW Team!

Some Random Thoughts…..

• There was much merriment at the annual “My Name Sounds Like Jesus Birthday Bash”….

• Once word got out in Bethlehem that the “good” name was taken….

• Made by bakers from the failed “No Bakers Left Behind” school of decorating….

• So…like others can’t have a December birthday…?

• Often imitated…never duplicated….

• Winners from the “It Sounds Like Cursing But It’s Not” contest…

@SuBee: wonderful, absolutely wonderful!!!

[Joel Polowin]

Okay, so what is the correct plural of "Jesus"?

[SuBee]

@Joel Polowin-During Mardi Gras I believe we determined that the plural of Jesus is Jususses and that many groups of Jesuses is Jesusseses.
For example:There are two Jesusses in my math class this year. They are all involved in the schools chapter of Jesusseses for Jews.

[Jodee]

@Joel Polowin ~ Ummm... Still Jesus I believe. Although autocorrect says Jesus's and Jesus' pass the test. However, Juses and Jessusi do not.

SuBee ~ You can pinch hit for @Sharyn anytime! Nicely done my friend!

The red frosting poinsettias on the Happy Birthday Jessus make my tummy hurt. And made me check my teeth for stains.

@mel --

"the failed 'No Bakers Left Behind' school of decorating" <snort>

[khereva]

And they came to him, asking, "Where is he that is born King of the Juses," and he answereth them, "Yes."

[Ginger]

I don't know either. It just boggles the mind.

[Lady Anne]

Joel, unless you are in a Mexican school, there really isn't any plural. Les Jesus, maybe? Even the possessive doesn't have any "tags" on it. "Jesus' death and passion." (Sorry. Went into Preacher's kid mode there.)

[Jenni]

Rhymes with "masseuse."

[Lise]

As long as the variations of Juses and Jusses et al don't come in riding on their own personal Ru-Wangs...I think we 'may' just manage through this one without too much of an incident! LOL

[R3Test]

@Jodee and others:
Jesus: singular
Jesus' or Jesus's: possessive (choose your preferred style)
Jesuses: plural

Jesus told me the Coalition of Jesuses would be celebrating Jesus' birthday on the 22nd this year.

[jackwire]

Well, they went 4 for 4 on "Birthday', so it's a start.

[mindy1]

@Suebee hahahahahahaha :D the cakes make Jesus weep :_;

[The Former CB]

Oh Jeebus, those cakes are terrible.

[Jose]

Did they mean Jose? Cuz it's not my birthday.

[pikkewyntjie]

Jeez! I mean, Juuz! Stop being intolerant and showing your lack of multiculturalism! Juses a common name in Spanish-speaking countries and it's pronounced "hoo-sase." I learned that from my substitute Spanish teacher Peggy Hill.

@Jose: no way!

[Lawlady]

I',pretty sure Juses is pronounced "Who says?"

[Zippy]

Away in a bakery, with frosting of red,
They tried to write "Jesus," but flubbed it instead.
The bakers tried writing again and again,
First "Juses" then "Jessus," on why ain't he "Ben??"

The customer's waiting, the poor baker shakes,
But to pipe a "Jesus," more tries will it take!
Will flotsam disguse one last futile try?
They ran out of red; on to green "Jessusi."

Oh! Oh! Oh! Merry Chuslxras!!!

[mel]

@Dee, just Dee: I took a decorating course once...I was left behind.... :-)

[Nerfbomb]

This is what happens when you stop allowing Christmas in public schools...and/or when you hire dyslexic chimpanzees to decorate cakes for you.

[Fear-ciuil]

Is "Chusl" a relative of Cthulhu?

[Tricia]

I saw your facebook post of the first cake and I had no idea what it meant. "Tuses" is an unusual name for sure, but I couldn't figure out what was spelled wrong on the cake!

Maybe a cake like this is the reason for the shortest verse in the Bible:
"Jesus wept."

[Tricia]

@ Lawlady: "Who says?" For the Win! Nicely done! :)

[Arlene]

Ah the joys of looking at these wrecks and dying of laughter trying to pronounce what they attempted to spell lol. I have a feeling they just sound it out as they go and hope for the best.

[nanalettie]

The plural of Jesus is obviously Jesi.

[Degera]

@khereva: hahaahahahaahahaa!

[Susanna K.]

Merry Chudmas! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087015/

Jessuse: n. 1. Preacher 2. Someone who massages the word of the Lord.
