Let Them Eat CAKE

Looks good with my colorwheels, doesn't it?  But how cool are these teeny little cakes in their multicolored icing?  I would start with the small size and eat my way through in rainbow order, proceeding on to the bigger sizes and maybe going in value order.  Or just stuff them all in at once.  Can you just see a whole table of these like a giant pointalist painting...  oh, but then I would want to play with arranging them.  But what possibilities these little cakes present for fun.

Next, here is a vending machine for lobsters
You somehow manipulate a claw to grab a lobster, and the machine people brag that the claw goes right into the water and "doesn't electrocute the lobster".  Huh?  The claw grabs the poor critter and yanks it out so it can live through another brush with death in a boiling pot!  How thoughtful.  How lobsteritarian (as opposed to humanitarian).  These vending machines are supposed to increase business and revenue wherever they are installed.  I'm going to stick with the old way, a fish market, if I ever need a lobster.  Thankfully that will be never since it's not my favorite thing to eat.

Now, if it were a veal machine...  or a short rib machine...  or a foie gras machine (maybe with a nice soft padded claw)... I would most certainly buy one and jam it with quarters.

Or, a little thought, how about selling the wee prettycakes out of the vending machine instead of lobsters!
