Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for August 05, 2024

You’re doing it all wrong. More prancing and tilt your head, shoulders and upper torso back like you’re on a R Crumb poster.

Easy as pie, dummy, not cake.

Not the kind of cake walk they were talking about.

Maybe it wants to walk in the park

Keep walking, maybe you’ll meet Edith too.

Cakewalk. Took me a second.

But whatever you do, don’t try to wok a cake.

Actually, it’s a piece of cake.

It’s no cake walk that’s 4 sure

Love the symbolism that speaks to yearly passing of time and the desire to make the years remain unchanged.

I thought doing that would be a piece of cake!

Totally lost me?

“You know I’m feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town.”

Too early on a Monday morning. Took me a few minutes to get this one.

That´s because it´s a PIECE of cake, not the whole thing. Now go home and get a pie!

Walk in the park, piece of cake. Come on, mixing metaphors is easy as Ⲡ.

This cake walk is (more of) a drag.

Candle shtick

Next time try a muffin leash.

That cake can’t hold a candle to a good dog.

If you’re going to do that with lit candles, stay on the sidewalk. We don’t need any more wild fires.

It’s worse when you ’left the cake out in the rain ‘cause it took so long to bake it and I’ll never have that recipe again. Oh no!

Cakewalk, a term I’ve heard since forever but never looked up till just now:

That thing is not going to sprout legs

If he’d gotten a little wheeled platform to put the cake on, it would be a lot easier…and people would look at it and sing “Hello, dolly!”

Took me reading the comments to get this. Cakewalk, piece of cake, easy as pie. Thanks y’all.

But, will you leave it out in the rain?

It’s the candles that make it difficult. I never saw a cakewalk-prize cake with candles on it. :)

That barrel full of monkeys wasn’t fun either. Speaking of barrels, have you ever actually tried to shoot fish in one?

Just be patient. The ants will eventually walk off with all of your cake, if a dog does not do it first.

it’s easy, but not quite as easy as duck soup… ☺
