May 9 2009Captain Ahab, The Harpoon!: Fail Whale Cake
Twitter user wildflourbakery went and made a fail whale cake for the Lawrence, Kansas Tweet Up. And I can safely say I have no idea what I just typed. Tweet Up? Fail whale? I AM ALL WIN FISH, SON!
Hit the jump for a couple more shots and another, different fail whale cake.
Thanks to Fally, who once killed a fail whale. But, by the time she hauled it back to shore, it was just a skeleton because the sharks got to it.

A "tweet up"? Do Twitter users have no life or something that they have to organize lame get-togethers?

@5:
the fail whale is the illustration that shows up when twitter servers can't handle all the traffic...

yes, us tweeters have no lives, no relationships, no friends. if we did, however, we would surely tweet bout it.

It's a gay fish.

seriously, these people have absolutely no lives. to bake a cake devoted to an error message on a website about nothing?
that person is just sad. my friends keep telling me to use twitter and i keep telling them, "when i decide i dont want to have an actual life anymore, then i'll use twitter."
twitter is just sad.

@14 Yea I agree.
Just another building block, or should I say stick of dynamite, that's slowly destroying our nation.
Also, that cake sucks. Are those supposed to be harpoons? Harpoons don't have turkeys attached to the end of them, I'm sorry.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where MAx questioned why a haiku was structured the way it is, and the teacher failed him.
19. Kieren - May 10, 2009 4:56 AM
Wow, a cake about an error message...... Why?
20. Liz - May 10, 2009 6:22 AM
Cool! How can I order one to be shipped?
21. Galtacticus - May 10, 2009 7:14 AM

According to the color these whales must be Moby Dicks,the white whale.

Kind of funny to read such negative comments. Tweetups are a positive thing. Just a group of people who are connected online getting together to be genuinely social offline. Some of us enjoy using social media in a genuinely social way.
And Daisy, not a fake. You can see the photos of it at the event on our Facebook page: http://tinyurl.com/ch7ufr

OK, get the deal with the "fake" comment now. Not too familiar with the site. Still dont get what's to be so negative about though!
30. guydude - May 10, 2009 10:21 PM
fail, tweet, epic win, "owned", these are examples of absolutely horrible internet terms that i hate that they exist. when spoken aloud they make an angel soil their pants discreetly, causing said angel to have excuse himself embarassed from the table to the bathroom, hoping no one's noticed. i absolutely hate shitty internet terms, and humor. someone kill me, and anyone (besides old people or parents who don't know any better and hear the words on the news) who utters these abonimations out loud. they are uttered by the worst of people.

Ha! I read that as "cookie pus". A far superior cake flavor.
