Who could fail to love an Orange Monkey and his many hats?
Sorry but I must present you all with a difficult gastronomic-descriptive challenge. Interstate Bakeries, the makers of Twinkies and Wonderbread, filed for bankrupcy yesterday, due to a debt of 1,3 billion dollars and (allegedly) the popularity of the Atkins Diet.
Every single day, in films and sitcoms, we Europeans are dumptrucked with Twinkies references. Those of us who've visited the U.S. have passed by them in supermarkets, thinking there would be time for them later.
Well, now it seems that they've been penciled in for instant extinction. So I have to ask, realizing how difficult these things are:
What is a Twinkie? What exactly does it taste like? Please refer to flavours common to all humanity when describing. Is it cream? Custard? What sort of dough? How is it typically consumed? For dessert? Breakfast? Tea?
Also (though not as important): why all the incomprehensible Twinkie jokes?
And (as a sign that abuse of your patience is not off limits) what, come to think of it, is a Pop Tart?
[Honest question.]
ColdChef's taking early retirement, I'm going on a trip to England, Vidiot's moving to swank new digs... Hey, what are you doing with your big bucks??
I'm always trying to make sure we leave the campsite clean, and I notice there's some broken glass at the edge of the trees. So I bend down to pick it up, and almost pick up this guy.
My whole day at the office was listening to whiny clients and whinier bosses - and then my whole evening was listening to even MORE whiny constituents and colleagues. All along, I kept thinking "at least someone will have already photoshopped "ACME" on the side of that damn NASA capsule that buried itself perfectly halfway into the desert floor, and I can see it when I finally get home and have a nice laugh".
But no one did. Yet.

She knows more than this curmudgeon thinks.
Doesn't he look like the Evil Scientist in some 1950's horror movie?
Last Friday, my younger sister gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Penelope Jane, making me Crazy Uncle Jon.
Ain't she cute??
In case you've been locked in an Iraqi prison for the last few months, you know that Dong Resin has written a book. Well, it's finally in stores. I got my copy yesterday. It's frickin' hiliarious. Plus, we monkeys get a shoutout!
Dong assures me that he's already paid his NAMBLA dues for the year, so they won't see any of the money. I know some of you were worried about that.
