To Susie: They went out today.
To Karla: Another idea in your quest for a Halloween costume. You can thank mister mrtl for scouting this one.
To everyone else: My entry into the "Ghouliest Treat" contest. It won 3rd place. As expected, some people couldn't get past the presentation to enjoy the treat.

Hey!
I have tasted a treat like that. It was real food. You did a freakin great job, though. The one I ate didn't look quite so realistic. It was good though - the lady said she'd made it from Hershey's chocolate!
That baby being born. Whew! I thought the pink thing was a bonnet - then I was wondering why the baby had so much dark curly hair. Then, I thought "Ohhhhhh. ... Oh."

Bwwahhaaa! I'd eat it - with a pooper scooper in hand!

sheryl - The mustache wasn't a clue? lol
yonz - Funny you should mention that... A pooper scooper was used for serving.

THAT is soooo nasty. All of it. Except the Frtls.

That costume...er..."ensemble"...I love it. Definitely for adults only, but probably the most creative costume I've ever seen (and perhaps the weirdest. But that's what makes it fun).
And I've never had kitty litter cake! Heard of it, but never seen one in person. I think it's going to be up to me (in my circle of friends) to make one.

O. M. G. OMG!!! Susie's Flrtl and Friend, fine, but... OMG! They did NOT go out in pubic...I mean, public like that, did they? OMG! That's the funniest, most horrifying thing I've ever seen. Makes the kitty-litter cake seem downright mild by comparison, doesn't it? Good strategy!

Oh man. I am not dealing well with these pictures. The birthing baby one looks so uncomfortable; maybe the "pregnant" woman and the "baby" man are in wheelchairs or something?
I am terrible with Halloween costumes.
But in real life I would eat the cake and I want to know how to make it.

All 3 pictures were a nice pick me up this morn. I love the kitty litter cake. You must post the recipe on how you make it so realailistic.

Okay sooo... I'm reading the comments, and the ghouliest treat is real and edible? I thought it was real and you were being glib. Snikes!

Now, that is the second time within an hour this morning that I have seen the man's face emerging from the giant foam vagina.
It's gonna be a good day.

For perhaps the third time in my life, I don't know what to say.

I don't think I'm eating lunch today. I have that more-than-slightly disturbed look on my face right now and it won't go away.
Posted by: suburban misfit | 2005.10.12 at 08:56 AM
I can't stop staring at the second photo. I'm very disturbed and amused at the same time. I don't know anyone with enough gonads to actually pull that off. I'd be uncomfortable just being in the same room as them.

Kranki - There's nothing wrong with the cake. It's quite yummy! (and if you're lucky, you may even get a tootsie roll!)
Andrea - My first thought was to the practicality and comfort of it. It is a hoot, though.
eclectic - I know. The one thigh looks mighty shiny/fake, so they may not have gone that pubic.
Daphne - Who knows! A gurney? -- I will post the recipe.
william - The only change I made to the original recipe was adding the kitty. It's a cinch to make!
Hänni - It's cake, cookie and pudding, with tootsie rolls. Very yummy!
Bucky - And it's HUMP DAY! Yee haw!
kalki - I'm sure you'll come up with something.
misfit - Why the face? What affects you so? Please don't say it's the cute little hedgehog!
jomama - Maybe a little too close to home. Don't worry, though. Your little man's head won't be so... large... or unattractive.
Posted by: mrtl | 2005.10.12 at 10:01 AM
Haha! You'd have to have really nice legs to wear that costume. I don't think I'd be comfortable showing off that much!
Also...it's cake? I have a recipe for cat poop cookies that turn out pretty gross. That's what I thought you had there.
Posted by: Ern | 2005.10.12 at 11:31 AM
Ha! I sent Bucky the birth costume pic! I am so excited for my flrtls! I can't wait! So what's the recipe for the litter box cake? Or does it matter?
Posted by: Susie | 2005.10.12 at 11:44 AM
Wow. Way to kill my appetite, mrtl. GOSH! Thanks a WHOLE LOT! I'm putting down this donut... right... now...
Aw, shit. Whatever. It's a DONUT! Mmmmm...
Posted by: cat | 2005.10.12 at 12:46 PM
oh my god. just... gross.
Posted by: spoonleg | 2005.10.12 at 05:14 PM
Ern - Cat poop cookies???? I MUST HAVE IT!! What a perfect accoutrement (sp???) for the kitty litter cake!!
Susie - Enjoy!
cat - ut up-shay on the onut-day! I don't need that craving. I've eaten enough shite today, and cookies are in the oven as we speak.
spoonleg - Really? With your job? You make me laugh so hard.
Posted by: mrtl | 2005.10.12 at 05:51 PM
Mrtl. You are the bestest person ever. Who puts a warm fuzzy picture with a big fake vag and some cat shit all on one blog?
You do. And that. Is why. I love you.
Posted by: amy | 2005.10.12 at 07:07 PM
amy - smooches!

(p.s. it honest-to-goodness took me five viewings to realize what that pink thing was around that dude's face. i'm [sadly] not kidding.)

(p.p.s. GAG!!!)

RazDreams - I think she would appreciate a puke bucket right now.
