A Holiday Tragedy in Gingerville: A Cautionary Tale

Skip: "Ahhhh, another beautiful and prosperous morning in Gingerville. The doves are cooing, the air smells like fresh cinnamon... I think I'll go buy some expensive gifts for my improbably gorgeous and well-preserved wife. Maybe some candy diamonds from Bulgari. A new frosted evening gown from Versace or maybe some sugar injections for her latest pair of candy buttons. She's looking as hot as she did the day she first came out of the oven." 
Skip: "Oh Bernard Madoff, so nice to see you! My portfolio is doing so well these days, all thanks to you. See you at the country club! You're my hero."
Madoff: "Raahhr, raaahh, raaarh."

Blicky: "Meow, need get more investors to cover shortfall. Just listen to meow."
Madoff: "Raaahr, raahhh, raahr."
Skip: "Hi Honey, nice candy buttons. I got myself a new candy Armani suit on the way home and look, a brand new candy Cartier necklace. Just think, all we started out with was some flour, spices, baking soda, confectioner's sugar and some cream of tartar."
Honey: "oohhh."
Madoff: "Raarh, raah, hand over that shirt raahr!"
Skip: "Noooooo!"
Madoff: "Raaarh, raaargh, nice oven rack, raarh. Husband's lost his shirt, raaarh"
Honey: "Ooohhhh?"
Thomas the Tank Engine: "Bust my buffers, someone's on the track Annie and Clarabel! He's weaving around and it looks like he's had too much brandy in his egg nog. Is someone pushing Madoff? Call-Sir-Topham-Hatt!" CRASSSHHH....


Honey: "OOooohhhh!"

We just wanted to let you know that no actual cookies were harmed in the making of this tale as we do not condone culinary violence (or even heresy), and it was all just red sugar and prosthetics.

Bwahahaha! A good laugh to start the day. Red sugar and prosthetics (Bwahaha..snort..hahah).

Thanks Mary!

Um yeah Holly, that's it... I did it all with the kids. There's no way I would use my grown up alone time for that. (hides the frosting on fingers) Thanks for visiting.

Hope you had a great Christmas Cynthia!

This reminds me of Gingy from Shrek. Not the gundrop buttons! Or when Santa ate Gingy's girlfriend in Shrek the Halls.

I'm sure Sir Topham-hatt accused everyone of causing confusion and delay when he arrived on the scene. In gingerbread land is he a cookie, too?
