Kitty Litter Cake

Serving Size: 24

Notes:
This is a fun cake! It might look gross, but it does taste good!

Ingredients:
1 (18 oz.) box spice or german chocolate cake mix
1 (18 oz.) box white cake mix
1 pkg. white sandwich cookies
1 large box vanilla instant pudding mix
12 small tootsie rolls
1 litter box (preferably a NEW one!)
1 plastic scoop
green food coloring

Preparation:
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend to stick, so scrape often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar.
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, mix with the cake and "feel" it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine. Put mixture into clean litter box.

Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter. Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, three at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around. Serve with a new pooper scooper.

I think that is about the SADDEST thing I've ever heard! Seriously!

Halloween is my favorite holiday! I grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis that calls itself the Halloween capital of the world. Every year we had 2 parades to celebrate it. One was during the day of Halloween where all the children in all the elementary schools in the city would dress up in costumes and walk down main street. We always had a party in class before it and would get lots of candy. The second parade would take place the Saturday before, or after and was a real parade w/floats, marching bands, etc.

Halloween remains about the only holiday I truly celebrate. I can't decide what I'm gonna dress up as this year though. I'm thinking either Emily Strange or Kelly Osbourne...

Every single day is the Devil's day!

Hail the dark prince...

This thread is ridiculous! Dress up your kids and take them trick or treating for christs sakes. I think the ones who weren't allowed to are the ones who are fucked up! Take Neptoones for example!!!

Great recipe Apples!!!

Yes it was very sad at the time and I used to dread Halloween. I like to dress up now, but sometimes I forget to prepare a costume. For the record the dog always wears a costume.

Also, I now know where you grew up Carrie ...and it begins with an "A"

Dammit! And I was trying to be cryptic!

Soapstone said:

SINISTER?!? What the heck?!

Oh yes... it is the devil's day. Only on that pagan occasion do men done shoes created by Satan and desacrate their virility.

I (L) U gyrl.

Halloween is my fav, and you just said all the reasons why.

AaronForever said:

THANK YOU Aaron for pointing that out...I was hoping someone had brought it up...if only good "God fearing christians" ever took the time to find out where the idea for the Xmas tree came from...

Anyways, I too come from the "halloween capital of the world" (We Rock Carrie!) SO, I've always particularly enjoyed that day.

now, if only I could think up a damn costume for this year!

endorphin74 said:

me too !!! Ihave no idea what to go as this year !!
HELP!!!

Okay, I'm a Christian, and I love me some Halloween! Screw any Satanic conotations (and, as Vina already pointed out, they aren't really valid). I really don't get people who get hung up on where a holiday comes from. What does it mean TO YOU is what is important. If all these fundamentalist types would just chill, then the whole pagan history would eventually fade into obscurity.

For me, Halloween is a time to dress up, have a party, and hand out candy to kids. It is a time for watching scary movies, going to haunted houses, and getting creative with your costuming. In many ways, it could be viewed as thumbing your nose at evil, mocking it by creating artificial scares. Dress up as something that scares you, thereby taking its power away to create fear. Sounds to me like something that subverts Satan's plans to make humanity fear him, and that can't be a bad thing.

Ultimately, YOU are the one who gives any symbol or Holiday any meaning. If you choose to view Halloween as Satanic, then you have given the Devil his very own day. Personally, I choose to make it a day of fun.

I'm thinking about going as a human for Halloween.

Ahhh my favorite!!! I will hunt you down and egg you!!

CarrieLee said:

Well, you see, whenever I come to town any other day of the year, you humans do that anyway. Maybe I should just appear as my own aquatic self? you humans would probably mistake me for a costume. Of course, after I devoured a few small children and household pets, the egging would probably begin again!

I know nobody asked me my opinion but here it is.

It seems to me that people have become so freaked out about Halloween like they have a lot of other things. For example, putting helmits on their kids for riding their bikes. Kids are kids, leave them alone and let them play. If all of a sudden some kid smashes his head on the pavement because he doesn't have a helmit on, then watch him get up (with a knot and a strawberry) and be more careful when he's riding his bike.

My parents went through my candy and through the opened packages and the fruit (and anything else that looked weird) in the garbage. Then they ate all of the snickers and I had candy for a week.

I always loved the rich neihborhoods because they gave out better candy and sometimes even money.

When "Christians" or any religious belief system makes your kids different from the other kids, it's not good. Install a belief system but don't make them freaks amongst the other kids.

So it seems that everyone in the Org is in agreement that Halloween is benign, eh?

Here's a question...now that Prince is a JW...will HE stop his future children from celebrating "candy day"?

PurpleJedi said:

Prince's children will not have one day of fun in their lives. People that were really wild in their youth are really strict as parents. The mild-mannered, well controlled youth go on to be loosey-goosey parents.

How was Easter ever a pagan holiday to begin with? Apparently I missed something.

TRON said:

it evolved from various pagan springtime fertility festivals. where do you think the eggs and the rabbits come from

Well that part of it yes. Most Christian holidays have become a farse. They've probably incorporated elements of the pagan tradition into Easter but the original impetus for celebrating THAT day wasn't pagan.

TRON said:

i believe it was. IIRC from my first stab at college, the holiday wasn't celebrated by Christians until they started converting pagans. the pagans wanted something out of it (they loooved to partay), so they started incorporating holidays like Easter and Christmas into Christianity to make it more fun.

know it all.

TRON said:

Some stuff I found on the net (gotta love google!)
It definately has a bias in it, but contains a lot of interesting details. This is long, so if you don't have time, just scroll on by!


ps...for an interesting read on background of Christianity taking over Pagan traditions in the quest for conversion, check out Tom Robbins' "Jitterbug Perfume." It's fictional but he relies very heavily on facts to tell the story...

Adopting Paganism

Early first century Christian practices revolved around the Jewish Passover, which is the tradition of the Bible when the word pascha is correctly translated as Passover. However, a mix between the will of emperors and the resistance of the people to give up their traditions and nature-worship for foreign anti-natural beliefs came to sway Judeo-Christianity towards the adoption of Easter.

The name Easter comes from an ancient European goddess of the dawn called Eostre by the Anglo-Saxons and Ostara by the Germanic peoples. She is also known as Eostra, Eostrae, Eostar, Eastre, Easter, Estre, Eástre, and Austra by various European peoples. Her name means "movement towards the rising sun" and is related to the Indo-European root word Aus which means "to shine". The English words estrus and estrogen are also derived from her name. She was considered the goddess of the growing light and spring, associated with fertility and celebrated with a festival of rebirth. One story has her entertaining children by performing a trick that changed her pet bird into a rabbit. This rabbit then laid colored eggs that she gave to the children. Given the history of these ideas which date back to at least 2000 years before the Christian era, it should be no surprise that the original symbols and practices of Easter persist today, just as our ancestors once celebrated them.

When Judeo-Christian monks worked mendaciously to gain followers by destroying pagan history and defaming the elder gods as demons, they had no weapons to deface the innocence of Eostre. Instead, they adopted her holiday and attempted to graft their values onto it.

Fertility Brings Life

The 40 days of Lent can be traced to worship of the Babylonian fertility god Tammuz, as well as similar traditions in Egypt (Osiris), Syria (Adonis). There are answers hidden in the Biblical dislike for Tammuz:
So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the Lord's house; and to my dismay, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.- Ezekial 8:14

Each year, Tammuz's death and resurrection were celebrated, despite the condemnation of the Judeo-Christian God. Tammuz's wife was the goddess Ishtar who was worshiped in groves made of asherah which are trees trunks, a phallic symbol, that were raised on a hilltop and represented life. Though Judeo-Christians destroyed all of the pagan holy grounds, often placing their churches on top of them and cutting down all nearby trees, the beliefs of the people did not immediately change. Even today, the lily remains a popular part of the Easter celebration, but its origins are that of a phallic symbol which represents the reproductive organs.

The Vernal Equinox

Most people are aware that the day of Easter moves each year, but few people remember the reason for this or the method of its calculation. When we celebrate Easter, it is the first Sunday after the first Vernal Equinox fullmoon. The Vernal Equinox signifies the astronomical arrival of spring and was considered the time to celebrate the rebirth and renewal as nature resurrects itself from the death it suffered in winter. The Sun that died at Yule is reborn!

It is outside of the scope of this article, but the Winter Solstice is the basis of Christmas, as well as the Christmas tree. There is truly little attributed to Judeo-Christianity that is original, but to be fair it is difficult to conquer people sufficiently to destroy their traditions and instinctual feelings. This must be performed gradually by first coopting the traditions, slowly turning them against the spirit of the people, and then cutting the people off from their roots so they remain separated from their natural instincts and awareness of what is right

I like all of what you had to say, but really liked this. Me, I'm a non-christian that loves Christmastime, go figure...Holidays are what you make them...

ps...TRON, didn't you already know that Aaron knows all?

not even close. I've already shown him a thing or two.

Thanks for the read.

Halloween is my least favorite holiday, but I'm not a fan of how most holidays are celebrated anyway.
