Summa (bleep) Laude

[Moderator1]

A Publix does some editing in its bakery

Proud mom orders ‘Summa Cum Laude’ cake online. Publix censors it: Summa … Laude.

"Someday, I, too, hope to cum loud. Preferably in a 69."

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Summa cum laude.

Summa cum quiet.

 

[Slacker]

No happy ending here!

My favorite part of the story: the grad is home-schooled.

Congrats on finishing in the top 5% of the kids at your kitchen table.

The mom seems slightly dramatic.

Jacob was “absolutely humiliated,” Koscinski said to The Post.

Could have been worse ... Magna Cum Laude.

 

[Vombatus]

Could have been worse ... Magna Cum Laude.

That describes Hawaii.

I have to believe the kid was absolutely humiliated when his mom ordered the cake in the first place.

 

[Vombatus]

I blame Latin and cultural appropriation. Maybe soccer.

"I can’t believe I’m the first one to ever write “Summa Cum Laude” on a cake."

Eh, I can. "Congratulations grad" or some such seems to work 99.9999 percent of the time.

Looks like they refused to use the traditional white icing for it as well.

I don't think that's the way it works.

I will allow that I may be underestimating the grueling standards of Christian-based home schooling in South Carolina.

 

[LongTimeListener]

I think that whole home-schooled network counts as a "school," right?

I would assume this kid's homeschooling involved some objective assessment of performance. Could well be it was administered by the Lake Wobegon Association of Home Schools, but still ...

 

[The Big Ragu]

Just another example of the Publix schools problem in this country.

 

[HanSenSE]

That describes Hawaii.

A map of Hawaii?

 

[Chef2]

A map of Hawaii?

You rang?

Magna Cum 6.
