Today we received a mysterious package. It was preceded by an email from one of our best customers, The Garden Gates. The email contained a riddle. It said:
Purple Green and ?
You don’t want the baby
It will make you fat
Now, we’re northerners, so it took all of our collected brainpower to figure out that the answer was a King Cake. Of course we took great pride in simply answering the riddle, not expecting to receive an edible answer delivered to our doorstep mere hours later… which, in the end, is exactly what happened.
In a box addressed to The Bad Ass Brand Labs Crew, was a traditional New Orleans King Cake (from Randazzo’s) and a note that said, “If you’re gonna roll with us… you need some Mardi Gras in ur belly. Thanks for making us the best!” Our thanks go out to Chad and the folks at The Garden Gates. You’ll be hearing from our cardiologists as soon as we rebound from our sugar comas.
… by the way, Christopher Antoin, one of the newest members of the crew, was the lucky recipient of the plastic baby Jesus (traditionally tucked into the cake), obligating him to bring in the next cake, so he’s not quite as grateful as the rest of us, but he’s new, so screw him.
Thanks again!
You never know…..maybe a knock at that door will be me someday
Any guest bearing cake is absolutely welcome!
