These $750.00 cupcakes will just end up as 'Scooby Snacks' for that pain in the @ss Obama dog ...

[edpc]

Well, here's the perfect item......

[Gay State Conservative]

If I was worth a billion I still wouldn't pay more than a few bucks for a cupcake.

[GeronL]

That is insane

Is Amy’s Baking Company involved in this?

[Army Air Corps]

Only if the cupcakes came from the store...

[Black Agnes]

Chocolate ping!

[who knows what evil?]

Yawn...where are the cronuts?

[onyx]

Thanks so much for the ping, Black Agnes.
That cupcake doesn’t even look appetizing to me.

Anyone who would pay $750 for a cupcake is both a fool and a disgrace.

I love a good cupcake but I would never like that nasty looking thing. And I would never pay more than 2.50 for a cupcake (I know that is a bit much too but when you only want one.....).

Grandson went to the Dollar Tree with me yesterday. He picked up a box of Cocoa Puffs Cupcake and Muffin Mix for $1.00. Made the entire dozen this morning and he ate 6 of them. I can’t stand Cocoa Puffs cereal but I did eat one. Was pretty good and I bet as good as these $750 ones, at least to him. It all ends up the same place anyway so...

I knew this thread would interest you. Can’t think of anyone else to ping. (jab, jab, wink, wink.)

[Conservative4Ever]

No thanks...pass the ding dongs.

[Nifster]

I like Bo best of any of that O family

[Nepeta]

for that pain in the @ss Obama dog ...

The dog did not pick his people, or choose the way he is used as a prop in photos. He may in fact be a nice dog. I hope he is given to someone who likes dogs when the Obamas depart for Hawaii, the way Socks the Cat got several good years with Clinton's secretary after Bill was done.

To Do List for tomorrow-

1. Drop daughter a McCarran Airport

2. Swing by the Palazzo and laugh at a cupcake.

Totally disagree and that's sort of an ignorant thing to say. Those people are actually doing a great service to capitalism and our economy.

Think of the waiter who will get a $150+ tip on that meal (at least). Think of how much money the chef and the owners of the restaurant will be making. All good.

I once got into an argument at work with somebody over Bill Gates' billion dollar luxury yacht. She was all indignant that people would spend that much money on a yacht. She went on to say that nobody should ever buy a luxury yacht because it is such a frivolous way to spend money when he could "spend it on the poor." Typical liberal argument.

I then went on to tell her that if people stopped buying luxury yachts, the entire industry would have to fold. Working people whose livelihoods depended upon building the yachts, sailing the yachts and maintaining the yachts, etc., would be cast out of work and they would then be joining the ranks of the poor. I went on to say that if we applied that reasoning to all luxuries, our economy would collapse and then most of us would be out of work and poor.

That did seem to shut her up.
