ReplyDeleteWell, duh. EVERYONE knows what happens when mushrooms start drinking tequila.....

ReplyDeletehe he too cute!
ReplyDeleteSharona: Yes, they finally understood the meaning of caution for a brief, bright, terrible moment.
ReplyDeleteAniDoll: The video was lost in the fire, unfortunately. I was lucky to escape with the photo! ;)
PaisleyJade: They would have been happy to hear about your cute compliment, thanks!
Burton: Pre-disaster photos can be funny, oddly enough ;)
Kitty Ballistic: Yes, the third mushroom does look like a fun fungi! It was probably his idea to hold the surprise birthday party.
Saffron: Yes, the tequila went straight to their mushroom heads!
twistyfishies: hehe Yes, it's good to keep a close eye on that backyard mushroom, especially if he's carrying matches ;) I'm glad you like the cake: it is made from fertilizer and decorated with dollops of truffle & baby white mushrooms ;)
Eliz: Thanks for noticing the details :) I'm just glad the candle's flame didn't burn the cake during the photos!
PixelatedMushroom: I'm glad you like these mushrooms, even though they're not pixelated ;)
Verna: Thanks!
Hmm, fried mushrooms ;)
ReplyDeleteCute, as ever :)
I love the mushrooms - they are really having a blast with the birthday celebrations, I just hope they survived the terrible fire afterwards. Fantastic stuff - especially that cake, it looks good enough to eat.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, they're even more careless about fire safety than these ladies I knew so well in my childhood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr8vUTm64h0 Hee hee
ReplyDeleteCharlotte: Fried mushrooms with a demi-glace sauce? Delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteJessica: Thanks! The newspapers didn't report any survivors, but I'm also hopeful the mushrooms survived! Maybe they regrouped and are already partying it up :) I like to imagine the cake as chocolatey-goodness too, but I'm afraid it's likely a fertilizer cake, bleh :)
jenmadestuff: You know what's funny about that youtube video about 12 careless ladybugs? I can count 12 mushrooms in the photo! I think we've stumbled across a dangerous number :D
Parteeeee!!! I LOVE IT !!! Birthday mushroom, it's all your fault! I see the little present in the corner too! Sooooooo awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThey may be a bit careless with flames but they do look like fun-guys (fungis).
ReplyDelete(Sorry)

TADA's Revolution: hehe Yes, that birthday mushroom made it a doomsday for the others in the barn! :D Thanks for noticing the present!
ReplyDeleteDeadly Knitshade: You're good to remind us of the potential dangers of combining carelessness & fun, whether it's coming from guys or fungi ;)
eisoshirl: That's a very effective mushroom-threat, thanks! I wish they survived the blaze to hear that verbal warning, sigh...
HA! There would have been no way I would have gotten back on that horse. But for orange soda? I think it might be worth it. ;]
ReplyDeletemochaxlight: Wow, your love of orange pop is so intense, it crossed into this older blog post! :D I'll dedicate my next orange soda-swig to you!
