NOT for the faint of heart…

So…

Just what DOES happen when some teenagers decide to create

some goodies for a holiday party and steal your camera to document said creations?

Ok…I get it

penguins

the little scruffians…

IMG_4430

Seem innocent enough…

until

they apparently formed their own little

penguin fight club!

IMG_4428

It was a bloody creamy massacre

poor little olive never had a chance.

And then the mice

had to come charging into the picture…

… apparently red dye number 2

has been known to create deformities

IMG_4435

Massive deformities...In chocolate mice!

IMG_4436

What has our world come to?

what happened to peace on earth?

IMG_4406

goodwill to men?

and even broken mice and overly-aggressive penguins

Peace…people…peace.

OMG! LOVE it! The Christmas Day penguin massacre!
Oh, and your mantelscape is to die for!

Linda@ Lime in the Coconut said...

...and funny thing about those penguins...no one wanted to eat the fight club loser. Strange.

The tropical stuff is OUR form of Christmas. Grab clippers or machete. Go outside. Hack away at poor unsuspecting palms (hmmm.I see where they get it from now)Bring them inside. Throw them on the piano.

Easy peasy puddin' and pie!

Lisa Porter said...

Well yeah....my turn tonight...wish me luck!

Deborah said...
