    Yup, the very first article (Everything Wrong With Eragon: Bonus Chapter) came out September 11th, 2009. What made me choose that infernal day, I’m not sure.

    Wow, yah, excellent choice. Well I suppose its easy to remember now.

    Oooh! Why don’t you debut WW on December 7th? Huh? We have to keep a unified theme here.

    Wow, I've actually joined something before it is uber-cranky-old. (Granted, it is an offshoot of an older, glorious tradition.) But give it 9 years and I'll be a dinosaur.

    To the Ideal! *clink glass*

    Shall we eat the non-cake with sporks?

    For the glorious dead!

    Brings out a ginormous chocolate sheetcake covered in buttercream icing, and frosted with quills and ink bottles. Words flow from one of the quills to say “Happy Anniversary Impish Idea”.

    Sets down the cake on a table covered with streamers

    Goes back to the kitchen and brings out two smaller layer cakes, one yellow and one spice. Both are frosted to match the chocolate, with the yellow cake frosted with Impish and the spice cake frosted with Idea.

    Brings out a collection of psychedelic sporks and arranges them on the table

    Goes back to the kitchen and brings out an enormous bouquet of balloons which she releases into the room

    Finally goes into the kitchen then returns with an ENORMOUS punchbowl half full of something reddish-pinkish. Starts pouring tons of different bottles into it. One says Brandy, one says Whiskey, one says Tequila, one says Chambord, one says Vodka, and there are many more bottles.

    All hail Impish Idea! PARTY TIME!

    Congratulations everyone, we certainly have a thriving community here. Let’s try to keep it up for another few years.

  12.  

    Only if it’s good frosting.

  13.  

    ^^ This is true.

    I think we should carve it out and replace the flying castle/insane asylum.

    Unfortunately, copious amounts of frosting consumed in a short time period makes me violently ill, so I lay awake for several hours with a terrible migraine and in the wee hours of the morning make a dash for the toilet to vomit all of my meals from the past two weeks.

    Which is why I don’t eat much frosting any more.

  14.  

    Way to bring down the party, Swenson.

    Let’s have cheesecake instead.

    Heh, I’m depressing. Yay!

    Ooo, what about covering a cake with whipped cream and strawberries and raspberries? That would be amazing… drools

  15.  

    ^^I’m not a fruit person, and I don’t like whipped cream that much. I usually put chocolate syrup on mine. We can have a cheesecake bar with all the toppings, so people can choose.

  16.  

    I’m also not a rabid fruits fan (Rabid Fruits Fan would make a good band name…).

    So. Here. Chocolate chip cookie cake and lava cake, respectively.

    Those look good, Platypus, but I’ll stick with the cheesecake.

    Happy Birthday, Impish Idea!

    As an Aussie tradition at all first, 18th and 21st birthday parties, I bring the fairy bread!

  17.  

    Fairy bread looks good, but it also looks like white bread covered in sprinkles.

  18.  

    It doesn’t look appealing to me for that reason (white bread with sprinkles?). I dislike sprinkles in the first place, but these are on bread.

    Note: I am oh so very sorry if I’ve offended you.

    Perhaps.

    Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. OM NOM NOM.

  19.  

    Lava cake, man. Have you tasted a good lava cake?

  20.  

    @Taku
    I didn’t knock it. I just said what it looked like. I’d be willing to try it. It doesn’t repulse me or anything.

  21.  

    Nah. I’m knocking it.

  22.  

    Does the bread have anything else on it besides sprinkles?

  23.  

    Something holds the sprinkles down.

    If you say frosting, I will force it down my throat with a grimace. Frosting is repulsive.

  24.  

    ^^Frosting is amazing!!! How dare you!

    I agree with M. Frosting is death.

    ~unless its that homemade kind i make with lemon… ~

  25.  

    Lemon frosting? Intriguing.

    Store bought icing is death. Store bought frosting is death.

    Homemade buttercream frosting, lightly flavored with peppermint extract, on a chocolate cake, is DELICIOUS.

    Yeah. Squeeze out a lemon, then spoon in sugar until it becomes a light paste.

    Hmph. I like store-bought frosting.

    facepalm

    You really don’t know what fairy bread is? I thought at first you were making a joke.

    Right.

    Fairy bread is made with white bread, which is then buttered and sliced into triangles, and then covered with sprinkles on the buttered side. This is the One True Recipe, and anyone who deviates from the One True Recipe—for example, by using icing (what you call frosting)— is Some Poncy Wanker, according to Aussie Bylaw 164 (Amendment), section 3 subsection ii.

    Also, Virgil, for some reason the quote “frosting is death” made me immediately thing of Icingdeath (one of Drizzt Do’Urden’s swords). Certainly gives a new meaning to the name. :D

  27.  

    After one year of contributing absolutely nothing on this site, I finally submitted an article!

  28.  

    claps Bravo, Snow White Queen.

  29.  

    Indeed.

    And for the belated anniversary, I brought the liquid remains of the human population orange juice. Yes, good ol’ orange juice.

    Icing is very nice. I’m not so keen on the marzipan, though.

    Orange juice is indeed delicious. I’ll have the kind with Vitamin C that doesn’t have to be diluted.

  31.  

    Wheee! Congrats II! I brought cookies:

    and booze:P

    BROWNIES.

    Chocolate brownies. With nothing but chocolate in them. No nasty nuts or fruit or whatever to get in the way of the delicious, gooey chocolate goodness. Preferably the kind from a mix in a box, because I lurv that kind!

  32.  

    No nuts?! But nuts are great!

    sprinkles walnuts into brownie mix

  33.  

    For swenson…

    And for SWQ...

  34.  

    Brownies with nuts…. drools

    Happy Unbirthday, ImpishIdea!

  35.  

    Gooey chocolate chip cookies and brownies…

  36.  

    How to make the gooiest brownies ever: squirt chocolate syrup into the mix before baking. It’s delicious.

  37.  

    D:

    You see, this is why I’m going to get fat. D:<

    I will not try that. I will not try that. I will not try that.

    I think I got cavities just looking at that.

    I ate several massive slices of a very rich chocolate cake yesterday. My stomach didn’t feel very happy afterwards.
    Cake is good, but only in moderation.
