Bitter Baking Blackmail, Part Deux


On Monday I wrote about how I apparently have some weird confectionery antagonist over at The Bitter Baking Company who - after caving in to my hollow threats and amazing pectorals - agreed to send me some of their cookies in lieu of litigation over their use of my term, "Holemates."

This is actually good news because I can't afford shit, let alone a lawyer trying to defend me against a giant cookie conglomerate.

Regardless, victory in hand I came home to find my mailman/woman (can't really tell, to be honest with you) dropping off my package of blackmail cookies.

That's when I looked to see that my arch nemesis, Erin, over at The Bitter Baking Company was still going for my sexy sexy jugular:


It's at this point that I'm starting to realize that Erin and I have some weird sexual tension going on that involves baked goods and sarcasm and, let's be honest here, isn't that the best kind?

I'm actually asking you guys. I have no idea.

Then I open that package and LO! there are two packs of cookies and one has my stolen term written on it just to rub my damn nose in the whole thing:


That's when I notice the message attached to one of the packs of cookies:


Amazing.

(please note that my first iteration of the above picture had a typo in it - karma, you are a total bitch)

You gotta love a company that (a) not ONLY gives in to your demands for free cookies based on hollow threats and several emailed self-portraits of yourself getting out of the shower but (b) has a great sense of humor about all this crap and plays along SO WELL.

Also, the cookies were nummy. So that helps.

Go get some cookies and tell Erin that I sent you.

Chick digs me.

*****************
UPDATE!!

Erin was kind enough to give YOU, my readers, a discount of 50% off orders equal or above $18.00 through 2/29/12!!

To take advantage of this offer, go to The Bitter Baking Company and order some stuff.

Then type "blackmail" in the Discount Code box and - voila! - cheap, sarcastic cookies!!

You're welcome.

Hey what do you know, a company run by humans with humour and not zombie robots.

I think it's supposed to say 'I think it's supposed to say "I'm SURE there's someone..." but I will cut her some slack here because, well: AWESOME.' Unless you want to cut a bitch and give her slack... But I wouldn't piss off the free cookie giver. She might taketh away. And then we're ALL sad.

VEG said...

Goddamn, man. I never get tasty cookies in the mail. All I ever get are bank statements rubbing in how little cash I have and questionable underwear from Japan. Um... did I say that out loud?

COOKIES!

Steve Bailey said...

Oh that is freekin hilarious!!! And yes cooking and sexual tension always go hand in hand...
You should see the sexual chemistry me and Chef Boyardee have...

Brett Minor said...

I never thought that tactic would work. I am going to start a letter writing campaign to my local Harley dealership. See if I can score a sympathy Dyna Wide Glide.

Carmen said...

The wedding will be televised, correct?

Erin is BADASS

Knight said...

So did you happen to see the comment on her facebook page where she said if you lived closer there would be make up sex? Yeah.

ClevelandPoet said...

it's hard not to have typos when mesmerized by your overwhelming sexiness. I know whenever I comment it takes like 6 tries to get it correct.

I don't think I'd trust 'blackmail cookies'. Hope you made sure any chocolate chips in them were actually chocolate! (Doody you know what I mean?)

MommaKiss said...

just bought a bunch, thanks to the blackmail code - it almost covered shipping!
