That's right ladies and gentlemen, because we secured a food waiver, so that we could save a little money and know that the cake would arrive in the right place at the right time (rather than using on-campus catering), we're not allowed to advertise the fact that we're having cake. Thus, we can't advertise the event, because our flyers won't be authorized, because we already volunteered that we're having cake.
So, DON'T TALK ABOUT CAKE! We're having an unbirthday party, where we will be serving "uncake," a newly minted confection made with a core of light and fluffy pastry lovingly drenched in sweet, creamy, unfrosting!
Revel in the absurdity, beware the jabberwock, and enjoy tea and uncake!

I love the link that you posted! For those of you who haven't clicked on the "Alice in Wonderland" link near the beginning of the post, you can actually flip through the original copy of the text that Lewis Carroll created! Insanely awesome opportunity to see a piece of history, especially when that piece of history is a work of literature...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the unblog to unadvertise this event!
ReplyDeleteYou can find a copy of this version--handwritten by Lewis Carroll, illustrated and beautiful--in the TCNJ library. However, you may have to wait a few days, as I am currently savoring its pages ;)
