All this talk about donuts reminds me that today is Paczki Day, and I didn't get any. I've been wanting to try the rose-jelly version from a Polish bakery near Milwaukee Avenue; guess I'll have to go there another day (at least they carry them year-round).

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

That sounds wondeful, Kathy. I love discovering ethnic holiday pastries.

I just found a forum where Dave Kelly says the new ones wif a more cockney accent are not him He seems to imply that it is an American doing them, but does give any specifics. There are lots of guesses and no one seems to know who it is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

World Health Organization:

Clarification of erroneous news reports indicating WHO genetic research on hair colour

1 October 2002 -- In response to recent media reports citing an alleged World Health Organization (WHO) study predicting the extinction of the naturally blonde hair gene, WHO wishes to clarify that it has never conducted research on this subject. Nor, to the best of its knowledge, has WHO issued a report predicting that ‘natural blondes are likely to be extinct by 2202’. WHO has no knowledge of how these news reports originated but would like to stress that we have no opinion on the future existence of blondes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

we have no opinion on the future existence of blondes

That's a safe stance to take.

Yesterday in class someone asked "What's the blonde's name again?" Kravver next to them "ita???"

"No! The real blonde!"

See, I wasn't going to be extinct by 2202 anyway. Dead, maybe, but that's not the same thing.

Tickles me to no end when someone describes me as a blonde (as opposed to blonde). Not precisely sure why.

My shoulders hurt like whoa. I'm worried this means I'll have to punch lightly until Friday. Don't want to.

Do we know about Holla Back NYC?

Women post photos of men who harrass them. Not just NYC.

I'm trying to listen to a Jack Klugman interview on an NPR podcast, but his voice is so wrecked from throat cancer surgery it's hard to concentrate on it. He did compare The Odd Couple to Brokeback Mountain. I'm just not sure how.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Gondor has no Paczki.

Gondor needs no Paczki.

I, on the other hand, wouldn't mind trying them. But I think I'll settle for bacon-wrapped chicken.

I just got a message from Dad. (I knew being away from my desk for 20 minutes would do it.) Mom's out of surgery and everything apparently went just fine. She'll be in ICU tonight and in the hospital until Saturday or Sunday.

ETA: Klugman's still alive? I had no idea. I guess I was confusing him with Walter Matthau.
