Star Wars Acolyte Jedi Temple

'Star Wars' has treated the separated but inextricable link between the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as if it was always that way—but in an even longer time ago, things were very different.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds 302 Wedding Bell Blues Trelane Q

Far be it from me to ever condemn an apology made with cake.

However....

Today's cakes do make me question being quite so specific about it.

Hey, I just realized this should have been the #1 apology cake for my Go-Go song!

 

And maybe these were the accompanying cupcakes?

(It says, "Sorry you fell in my pee.")

 

Now I know why most funeral receptions only serve pie.

 

Anyone else getting a passive-aggressive vibe here?

 

Very funny, Dad.

 

Oh, sure, THIS you can spell. Forget "congratulations," forget "birthday," "GONORRHEA" is the word you get right?! I just...I can't...I don't even...

 

And what are you smiling about?

This is actually adorable. Assuming it's a joke, of course.
If not, then it's adorable *and* hilarious.

This was a dispute between two chefs, kids. Chefs who are overly fond of their cookware. Honest.

 

Gentlemen, you know how sometimes you know you need to apologize, but you don't know what to apologize FOR?

This works.

 

Thanks to LW, Jacqueline P., Michelle B., Michelle M., Andrew C., Andrew F., Heather, Ian S., and Anony M. for taking the lower high road.
