Robert the Llama Butcher recounts his own weekend:

...the kids had the ritual pizza and cake under a tent. It was a Star Wars theme banquet and featured one of the more bizarre cakes I’ve seen, one designed to look like the lava field in ROTS, complete with flames done in icing. In the middle of it sat Darth Vader’s head and upper chest, as if he was partially submerged in molten rock. It had a slightly unsettling, although I’m sure unintentional, effect, although apparently I was the only one who thought so. As I sat there, I got musing about what other big movie scenes could be depicted on birthday cakes - Omaha Beach from Saving Private Ryan? The Titanic going down? Manhattan froze[n] solid in The Day After Tomorrow?

Heh.

He also gives a rather good rant on the true meaning of “father.” That is well worth the click over to TLB. Go on with you…
