March Madness: The Cake Vs. Pie Tournament

I know things look bleak. Top seeds are bouncing out of the NCAA tournament left and right and your bracket is hosed. But take heart once a year basketball fan. There's a new game in town. Set your feet on the road to deliciousness. This is madness. THISH! IS! DESSERT!

Jezebel is settling the pie vs. cake debate once and for all, tournament style. All your bakery favorites have been seeded and set in head-to-head competition. In today's match up it's red velvet versus coconut and key lime versus sweet potato. Voting closes at 1:55 pm EDT today, so vote early and often!

Now, if pressed, I would say I'm a cake girl. Allie of Hyberbole and a Half would say I'm smoking crack. She's Team Pie, and I do have to admit, she's makes some compelling arguments ...

Especially when it comes to the even and equitable distribution of the good stuff.

We stand on guard for thee!

Do you miss the Winter Olympics? Do you want to keep the Olympic feeling in your heart, and ponder it every day? Or if not your heart, maybe your lawn? Then for a mere $5000 Canadian, you too can own one of the giant beavers from the closing ceremonies.

You know, the closing ceremonies where they decided to have a little fun and show off their Mary Carillo noted national sense of humour, and said eff it. Let's just take every stereotype about Canada and make it 20 feet high and inflatable.

"Enough with the cheese. Enough! Stupid effing fishcakes. I can't control the kittens. Too many whiskers! Too many whiskers!"

"Um" is never the answer.

That last hour of flight doesn't have to be a misery of boredom, praying you can make it into the terminal before you wet yourself.

Turn those lemons into 3 ounces or less of government approved lemonade that you must surrender to the flight attendant one hour prior to arrival with these travel safe activities.
