The whole thing considered, it’s an imperative – “Let the meat cake” – rather than a noun phrase – “the meat cake”. I expect it’s some tasteful reference to Our Lord’s crucifiction, which we will all be celebrating very soon with a variety of sweet confections.

I think you’ll find I’ve got the numbers on the penguin issue, and the numbers say they’re not worst.
The ad was terrible (with apologies to the beefcake at 1:32), and let me say at the outset that never did I say it was not.
Nobody’s accused Rochelle’s cupcakes were worst, just the kerning. OK the kerning’s bad, and somebody should pay.

Eh. I can’t type either.

Yes. Kerning everywhere must be rigorously policed and enforced.

Gravatar aside, I see no reason to protract the PP battle at this stage. However, I think if you read back through the posts you’ll find a roughly fifty-fifty split. In any case, having the numbers stacked to your advantage, PL, may only strengthen the opposing argument.

Yeh I’m over the great pp schism of March 24, enjoyable as it was.
But last of all I have to point out the Barnaby Joyce logic in your summation of the debate, which appears to be “even if you did have the numbers, which I don’t think you did, because I estimate that the split was about fifty fifty, we still won because we were in the minority”.
…Or “If we won on numbers, we won, and if you won on numbers, we still won.” That is masterful elitism and I really am defeated. I’m off to buy a property in Darch and fill it with Ikea furniture.
