Good Morning (it's a nice one too, wheee),
firstly, I'd like to inform you that an elastic (that was in my hair), somehow came off and fell into my soup. Now it's wet and smells like foodies. Until it dries, I'll have to find a temporary replacement. Saddness.
Now on to business. Those of you that know me may have heard me say grumblecakes from time to time. Where does it come from you may ask?
It just kinda happened. One day a friend of mine expressed some anger, and said growl. I said grumbles instead. And well, you all know how I love food, so I added cakes at the end. Little did I know that grumblecakes already existed from a cartoon called Homestarrunner. I've seen maybe 1 homestar episode and I don't intend on watching all of them (that might make me uberlame, but I still won't).
In anycase, my grumblecakes look different that homestar ones. Behold:
This is a homestar grumblecake : It looks pretty rotten, like 4 year old slimy moldy cheese (I've never seen 4 year old smily moldy cheese, but I imagine that's what it'd look like. Yes, with spots). It also kinda looks like that huge rotten sandwich that Homer ate and refused to throw away. Anyways, all on the brink of death. booooooooo
Now, these are my grumblecakes:
Njosnavelin grumblecakes are like little cupcakes with funky icing (multicoloured naturally - they're little punks mang). Notice that they also have attitude...their yellow little frowns. They also walk around saying "grumble!". It is rare that you'll see njosnavelin grumblecakes though. They turn on their cloaking device when they decide to cause trouble.
So here some grumblecake vocabulary for you:
grumblecakes (with or without a ! - depending on your level of anger) (gr-uhm-bol-kayks):
You say this when you're annoyed with something. Like say you're walking down the street and a mean, large person bumps into you without saying sorry...that is a perfect time for grumblecakes. (In fact, a grumblecake probably decided to jump on the large person's head for that little while and made it do the evilness). So it's kinda like letting the grumblecake know that you know it's there.
grumbles (gr-uhm-bolz):
short form of grumblecakes. I say grumbles often. It's short and sweet, slightly cheerful. Mostly for only slight annoyances. Examples:
a) walking on the sidewalk, you trip off the edge, looking rather silly. "hahaha grumbles man"
b) you drop your falafel on the ground "arggh....grumbles :( "
c) you're hungry "mang, maaad tummy grumbles"
grumbletruffles (gr-uhm-bol truh-fols):
I rarely say this because they're just poseur cakes. The annoyances they cause are so small, it's not worth mentioning unless you get pissed off about everything.
grumblecakes of doom (gr-uhm-bol-kayks uhv doooom or duum):
Okay dudes, this is bad stuff. Grumblecakes of doom means you're quite angry, and it's making you feel totally doom. Examples:
a) You're losing at mario kart 64 "damnit! freakin grumblecakes of doom -.-"
b) You fail an exam "doom..." (if you can't say all of it, you just shorten it to doom. When you fail an exam you don't feel like saying much anyways, so doom will suffice)
grumblecake production is increasing (gr-uhm-bol-kayk pruh-duhk-shuhn ihz in-krees ing):
Grumblecakes come from the magical grumblecan (preheated to 95.1413 degrees C - the optimal temperature of grumblecake production). No one knows where the grumblecan comes from, it just exists. The green and yellow frosted grumblecakes (a.k.a. the radicals) tell us that grumblecake production is incoming.
At first I thought that grumblecake production occured in a large oven (imagine they all bake, then kick the door open and run out). But they definitely come from a grumblecan, with each of them saying "Grumble" as they come out (with different tones of voice).
You can say this when you're already slightly annoyed (or something like that has happened before and you know the grumblecakes are just doing it to piss you off). For example; I was on my way home the other day, via the metro. I get off at lionel groulx from the direction angrignon train, and wish to take the direction cote vertu one. Upon arrival at L-G, the CV train leaves. I said (seriously :P) "....grumblecake cake production is increasing" *clenches fist*
My two friends laughed, but agreed.
If you're feeling particularly energetic, you can try and find the source of the grumblecakes, but you will fail. So give up now and just accept that grumblecakes are a part of our lives. Despite their mischieviousness, they're kinda cute afterall.
*pets a grumblecake*

best. blog. ever.
we need more njosnavelins in the world.
Hey - just writing to say I found your grumblecake article on Google and it is BRILLIANT. Thank you for enriching my store of knowledge immeasurably; I was searching high and low for the origin of the humble grumblecake. I noticed you have a photo of yourself with the NY Toys-R-Us T-rex posted, and I have one JUST LIKE IT, and coincidentally it's 2:41 am and I had too much caffeine. Whoa! - so I liked your blog muchly. Anyway I'll be reading more of this in the future. (:
