("Alright! Please, tell me you got Pistachio ice cream to go with!?!")
This is one instance where I actually pity the baker responsible; to make this, she had to reference an actual photo. (All together now! Ewwwwww.) Click here to see her Flickr account, which has a link to the photo.
B.F., I think the toenails have got to be the worst part.
