A Spirited Similarity
October 28, 2014 Ever wonder what it'd look like if famous characters came back as wrecky ghost cakes?
Yeah, me neither.
But I guess these bakers did!
A ghost called Jayne:
;)
;)
"All this booing is damaging my calm."
Spy VS Spy:
;)
;)
[mimes dropping a giant bomb on both]
Aquaman:
;)
;)
Sounds fishy.
Pac-Man:
;)
A Pac-Man ghost.
So meta.
A garden slug:
(Just go with it.)
;)
C'mon, bakers. Slugs? Really?
A door mat:
;)
Ok, now we're just getting ridiculous.
A roll of toilet paper:
;)
Srsly??
(Let's not ponder too long what the little ghost on top is.)
And finally,
The Ghosts of Toilet Water Passed:
;)
You could say they've been circling the drain for some time now.
[Ba dum BUM!]

What is that green stuff chasing Pac Man? No wonder he's scared.
Sung to "Ben"
Jayne, that hat means that you'll fear no more
Those are not the spies you're looking for
Aquaghost will never drown
And PacMan's cracks are brown
No slug, doormat for me
Don't want a Ghost TP
Go down the drain for me.
Jayne
The man they call Jayne
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne
Now Jayne saw the Mudders' backs breaking
He saw the Mudders lament
And he saw the magistrate taking
Every dollar and leaving five cents
So he said, "You can't do that to my people"
He said "You can't crush 'em under your heel"
Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five seconds flat
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne
Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit the sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
And the man call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And headed out for the stars
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!
Perhaps that roll of bathroom tissue is the Ghost of Flushes Past, and that little spook is the nemesis of toilet paper: the dreaded Cling-On….
*headdesk*
"Why'd y'all order a dead guy for?"
Ugh, Adam Baldwin. Joss killed the wrong character in Serenity.
Is there any actual cake involved in the Spy vs Spy one, or is it just two giant blobs of frosting?
That melty Pac man ghost with the cracked eyes and piteous expression makes me sad - I'd end up buying it just to cheer him up.
That's quite the pin-up pose there on Aquaman. Are you sure you didn't find that at the Hawkeye Initiative? Why his ghost is being followed by the ghosts of angry doughnuts is beyond me though.
Is that TP that the ghost topping cake #7 (the TP ghost cake) is waving at us? Why does one cheerfully wave with TP at anyone? Why would anyone want their cake to resemble TP? Did vanilla feel left out of the poo blob sweepstakes?
How fitting that this post is about ghosts. My office is dark and scary today because the power meter on the outside of our building exploded yesterday. Today I shall huddle with my blanket and my flashlight and be on the lookout for things that go bump in the dark. At least the toilet paper ghost looks friendly!
I'm not trying to be nasty
But these cakes are pretty ghastly.
The "garden slug" CCC (booeyptooie) looks like a cross between a legless polar bear and a cartoon ghost with a bad cold....poor little thing. The last one? Those little boo-blobs wouldn't be able to pull that particular stunt in my house. My toilet flushes counter-clockwise.
@ Jodee: Tell the powers-that-be that I said you can all go home! What are they, a bunch of (deletable bad words)?
=^~.-^=
The sixth cake looks as if the ghost had waaay too much starch in his sheet.
That 'floormat' cake is OBVIOUSLY the "baker's" attempt at Cassandra, The Last Human. Silly Jen & Co. XD
We gotta go to the crappy bakery where I'm a cake!
I have to ask...what the heck is the green thing BEHIND the Pac-Man ghost cake???
That isn't ghosts on that cookie...
I *think* the green thing behind the Pac-Man ghost cake is an upside-down look at a Frankenstein's monster Rice Krispie treat (black icing hair, candy corn nose).
I was enjoying this as usual, and singing along to Syz's post when I got to Sandy's comment and I just lost it. You would think I would know better than to be drinking anything when I look at this page, but no.
I think the last one is little sperm ghosts.
No no no!! That slug is Shmoo!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmoo
"Ugh, Adam Baldwin. Joss killed the wrong character in Serenity."
Jayne is easily the best character in that show. And if you can't appreciate his work as Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket than there is no redemption for you.
Aquaman-The Musical!
At least they all spelled "Boo" correctly. Ghost Pacman is melting, melting ...
That's not a door mat! That is Lady Cassandra! Moisturize her! Moisturize!
Oh man those poor ghosts. And that cake did look like a toilet paper roll with frosting. What a waste of paper hehe. I would probably run away from that cookie one though. Those really don't look to be ghosts at all lol.
I'll be in my bunk.
I don't think it's a doormat. Everyone knows doormats aren't sentient. It's a mattress!
Poor Zem. At least he had a floopy life, flollopping around in the swamp.
Voon.
I just hope there aren't any bedsprings in those cupcakes. "Spring Surprise", anyone? (Although as a kid, we all loved Nana's Rubber-Band Pudding for, ooh, a good *week*, until she realised the hook she kept rubber bands on was too close to her saucepan shelf.)
I suspect the comment criticizing Adam Baldwin wasn't about Jayne--it was about his tendency to say bad things as himself, not just the character.
@Wolf: Animal Mother (Full Metal Jacket) was my favorite. "You talk the talk. Do you walk the walk?" (And, if there were a bullet-riddled cake here, this wouldn't look QUITE so off-topic! Anyone feel like target practicing on one of those wrecks? They could ALL use some *sprinkles*!)
Is it just me, or does the ghost attributed to Aquaman actually look more like the ghost of Mr. Bill?
Noooooooooooooo!
I think the slug one is a very anemic Jabba the Hutt on a diet, but I could be wrong. :D
That cake makes you look like an idiot.
Boo indeed.
That last picture looks more like the Ghosts of Tadpoles Past to me.
Either that or they are not ghosts, but, er, "swimmers" ...
