"Bismarck? What is a Bismarck?"
"It's a predominantly German and Central European doughnut made from sweet yeast dough fried in fat or oil, with a marmalade or jam filling and usually icing, powdered sugar or conventional sugar on top. They are also sometimes available with a chocolate, champagne, custard, mocha, or advocaat filling, or with no filling at all. The filling is injected using a large syringe after cooking."
"And what do you do with it?"
"You eat it."
"How revolting! "
"It's actually quite nummy. En garde!"

They told us to be here at 9:30 today for a prompt 9:45 start. I've been here sitting on my ass for almost 45 minutes now. NOT COOL KINGS COUNTY CIVIL COURT.
I've got to be at the courthouse at 8:15 tomorrow. Bleah.
Also? Too many cooks and one of them who is supposedly away keeps doing stuff and not telling the rest of us and making me look stoopid. Thanks! I needed that!
