  12. Go, Cake, Go! I was gonna rip you off by posting the 100% fresh entry "Blueberry," but abstained. Kinda.

    Hmm. Jim Shooter, Drew Barrymore, Papa Hitler, and Barney the Dinosaur. Lotsa celebrities are posting today. Woulda thought it would be tough for Barney to type. Giant, meaty purple paws and all.
