Guy one: Cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. Cake is often frosted with buttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit.1
Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. There are literally millions of cake recipes (some are bread-like and some rich and elaborate) and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.
tl;dr: Cake is a baked, yummy sweet.

Get the tl;dr mug.born in Louisville, Kentucky on July 18, 1937.
Also known as "Raoul Duke" or "Dr. Gonzo", Thompson originated as a sports journalist for numerous publications. He went on to work for Rolling Stone during the late 60s and 70s. He has also published several very popular and critically acclaimed books, including "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" which was turned into a film by Terry Gilliam in 1998, starring Johnny Depp as Thompson himself and Benicio Del Toro as well. He has been known to stretch the truth at times, usually the result of self-proclaimed usage of heroic amounts of hardcore drugs. Many critics dismiss his unusual style due to his mixture of fact with fiction at times, but he is widely considered a literary genius and an icon of outspoken, unapologetic social commentary.
here is an example of his writing from "Fear & Loathing On The Campaign Trail '72"...
"There are only two ways to make it in big-time politics today: One is to come on like a mean dinosaur, with a high-powered machine that scares the shit out of your entrenched opposition (like Daley or Nixon) . . . and the other is to tap the massive, frustrated energies of a mainly young, disillusioned electorate that has long since abandoned the idea that we all have a DUTY to vote. This is like being told you have a DUTY to buy a new car, but you have to choose immediately between a Ford and a Chevy."

Jose Contreras: I think that Hunter S. Thompson's writing suffered as a result of his drug use.
Bruce Lee: you pig motherfucking little boy felcher! Thompson's writing is much more interesting when the affect of drugs is apparent.

Also usable on your own lengthy post at the end followed by a quick summary of the above material as a courtesy to people who might not want to read the entire thing. Essentially the same as writing "In Summary," when used this way

Get the tl;dr mug.If a white person hears a rap song featuring the n-word, it isn't considered racist for him to sing along with it so long as the word is part of the song's lyrics, as defined by Chris Rock in his HBO special "Kill The Messenger."
"What are the Dr. Dre Rules? What are the rules when a Dr. Dre song comes on the radio or plays at a club, what is the procedure that goes into effect? Because sometimes I'm with my white friends and a Dr. Dre song comes on and there's a lot of 'niggers' in a Dr. Dre song. And they want to enjoy it, but they can't really enjoy it around me. So they start taking out the 'niggers' or mumbling the 'niggers' and it's just a sad sight to see. It's just sad to see a white person try to do a nigger-less rendition of a Dr. Dre song, it's just fuckin' depressing. And they're trying to rap along without saying 'nigger' and they're like 'Creeping down the backstreet on dees I got my glock cocked cause-I-don't-know-what-the fuck-to-say!' 'Tat-tat-tat like that, and I never hesitate to put a-ha-ha-ha-ha' But I know when I'm not there, they lean into that shit, 'he's not here, turn it up - down the backstreet on dees I got my glock cocked cause NIGGER!' 'Tat-tat-tat like that, and I never hesitate to put a NIGGER ON HIS BACK-AND KILL HIM, I HATE NIGGERS!' 'Hey man, that's not even in the song.' 'I got a little carried away, I'm sorry about that, they should put it in, they really should.' Don't worry white people, get your Dre on; get your Dre on, get your Jay on, get your Kanye on. It's alright, it's all good, it's okay; it's got to be in the song, though." -Chris Rock, "Kill The Messenger.

Get the The Dr. Dre Rules mug.A character in Tyler, the Creators, "Wolf", Storyline. He is said to be Tyler's therapist, but, *spoiler alert*, Tyler in, "Goblin", realizes that he's been talking to himself the whole time. Tyler is originally introduced to Dr. TC when he gets in trouble at school, and is sent to Dr. TC's office. Dr. TC concludes that Tyler is a good kid, just mislead.
(Dr. TC in the Bastard intro)
"Well, Tyler, Hi, I'm Dr. TC, and um, I'm guessing that your sent you here to talk, 'cause you were misbehaving.
Um, it's gonna be three sessions, today, tomorrow, and the next day.
So, uh, just tell me something about your self...
Well look, if , if you don't talk, I mean, these sessions are gonna go even slower.

Get the tb;dr mug.Why would you buy a pair of good earbuds when you can get these for twice the price and half the sound quality? Shit son, they're even endorsed by Dr. Dre himself, and, like any celebrity, he wouldn't make false claims about product quality in exchange for large piles of money, right?
Sarcasm aside, these earphones are piles of shit (even when you get a pair that isn't a cheap knockoff from China). The only people who think they're "quality engineered" (according to none other than Monster's marketing department) are people who have never before used earbuds other than the even shittier Apple earbuds included with iPods/iPhones, or spent more than $10 on a pair. They only spent the money on these after seeing them in the latest pop/rap video on MTV, and decided to spend way too much because someone famous said they're cool.
Seriously, spend your money on something better, like Klipsch, Bowers & Wilkins, Sennheiser, Etymotic, Sony, V-Moda, and pretty much anything else that costs more than $60 and isn't endorsed by a celebrity.
Though if you only listen to Nikki Minaj or Justin Bieber, then fuck it, you only care about the bass and/or being popular, so go ahead and blow your parents' money on them.

"Cool" Earbud User: Hah, u dumb Apple earbud user, u should try my Beats by Dr. Dre Tour headphones and experience an ear orgams.
Normal Person: Um, these are Klipsch S4i earbuds, just because they're white doesn't mean they're Apple. And I'm guessing you define "ear orgasms" as "ear drum-raping levels of bass"? Here try these.
"Cool" Earbud User: What the fuck, what, what is this I'm hearing?!
Normal Person: It's called sound quality, something you look for when you listen to music that isn't just bass with autotuned lyrics.
