    I guess it wasn’t such a piece of cake!

    And here everyone said it would be a ‘Cake Walk’.

    Yeah, I think you’re right Beviek… it’s just the start of the banner…probably for “Diabetes…”Hmmm… there’s also “Día de las Madres” next weekend, and in Mexico on May 10th…but those cakes aren’t speaking Spanish…“DIAL something?” 911? “Dianetics”….. I hope not…“Diagonal parking?”

    Diabetes it is!But would big sugary cakes be fighting it or promoting it?

    In any case, I think they’re sweet.

    I think the meaning has many layers to it…

    Otto — I only know two meanings for “pie-faced”….one is “drunk or stoned out of your mind,” and the other is an ethnic slur I won’t describe.

    I hope it means something else in Upside-Down-Land!

    The event didn’t raise much dough; it was just pie in the sky.

    Any way you slice it it’s still easy as pie.

    I understand that cakewalk means something easy—just not sure if the banner has any meaning.

    The chocolate cake is still carrying a grudge over the fund raising hockey game. He’s still frosted that he got so many icing penalties.

    Definitely not as easy as pie.That poor carrot cake’s energy is flagging.

    I was hoping the comments would explain the joke; hope it works better on the next one.

    Maybe it’s a regional thing. When I was growing up, I only heard “pieface” used as a term of endearment, and just learned a few years ago that it’s more commonly used as an ethnic slur toward Asians.

    Maybe it was DIABETES, but the BETES was amputated from all of the starch and sugar in those cakes!!!
