I’m not shocked that someone would resign via cake—I actually wish it would catch on at Stranger HQ (not that we want anyone to leave ever, but… cake!)—or that someone would quit his job in this economy. No, what shocks is that this guy—pink shirt, carefully knotted tie, foppish vest, pegged trousers, hip trainers—worked in a naval shipyard for three years and somehow lived to tell the tale. (Via Sullivan, BoingBoing, etc.)
Cake of Resignation

well, it is a naval shipyard in san francisco…
Cute. Hope whatever is wrong with his health quickly goes away. That decoration must have taken half a day at least. And yes, that does sound like a pretty butch environment, but you never know these days.
Dan — what carrot cake did you end up going with? How was it?
So many comments being deleted…
I wonder what is going on…
@6 – maybe no dick day has become everyday, just like earth day was supposed to be?
Clicked through to see his “hip trainers”, was disappointed.
Make it a rule: Resign via cake, or no letters of recommendation later in life.

We’d rather not moderate your comments, but off-topic, gratuitously inflammatory, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate remarks may be removed, and repeat offenders may be banned from commenting. We never censor comments based on ideology. Thanks to all who add to the conversation.
@ 6 and 7, a lot of trolls are making irrelevant comments about the personal life of one of the Stranger staffers.
waiting for the joke about cute shipyard workers and all the seamen that must be frequent visitors…
I like cake too.
That guy is hot. And I liked his shoes too.
See, the thing about PIE (besides being generally tastier) is that it’s much easier to throw. And less likely to cause debilitating injuries.
You’re telling me shipyards AREN’T gay? Ha!
FUCK!! What is it with the comments that needed to be dropped?!? When did slog become the haven of assholes and penis pimples?
foppish?
Andrew, it’s quite simple.
The paper that takes great pride in airing dirty laundry does not appreciate it when their dirty hamper gets spilled all over the courthouse steps.
ECB stole red wine from QFC and she was in court today!!
No word on whether she brought her own reusable bag.
@21, are you serious? That would be some GOOOOOD gossip!! I thought it was about Chirstopher; there are some not so nice rumors around about him.
you posted this one day too late, dan.
There are many reasons to avoid the gaze of some one elses commentary… none of which i can defend at the moment… unless of course, I consult with the director… which makes me at the moment the rich in the stitch…. get a good look… you won’t see it anywhere else but here folks…. the best diversion on the face of the planet bar everyone.

THE “HIP TRAINERS” IS A LIE!
It’s some kind of multi-use development, not an active naval shipyard. http://www.hunterspointcommunity.com/
Cake is good. Nice job pulling off the vivid pink shirt, too.
The cake is weird. He’s a hottie though.
He’s wearing pink because it was Pink Friday (march 13th). The day California’s teachers received their pink slips due to budget cuts. Workers across the state were supposed to wear pink to show solidarity with the laid-off teachers.
Also, he’s dressed up because the work site pretty much is informal all the time. So instead of dressing down on Fridays, they dress up instead. He left a message about it in the comments on Boing!Boing!.
I always said that if I came into enough money I would quit via a nice catered lunch.
I would have the folks delivering it give a note to the bosses saying that it was from me and I quit.
