Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Aaargh! I think Tino just got a new job. Chase has doubled the minimum payment on the student loan balance I'm carrying with them. So now I have to find an extra $200 in my monthly budget.

I suppose this is another of those regional food questions: have you heard of blondies? As in, the dessert item? I baked some and brought them into my office today, and no one had any idea what I was talking about when I offered them. I had to explain to everybody what they were.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

have you heard of blondies?

Yes. And knew them intimately while growing up in DC. I think this is another case of the hopeless dorkitude of your office, not a regional problem at all.

Well, I offered them to five different people, who grew up in a bunch of different places (all in the US), and only one of them knew what they were.

“Not dead yet!”

Seriously? No one knew what Blondies were? Huh.

People who did not know what they were: one grew up in Maryland, one in Virginia, one in Alabama and Seattle, one all over the place but mostly North Carolina and New Orleans.

Art Crawl!!!

I know what they are and wish I could have one right now.

Of course, I discovered them in a cookbook - not from family tradition.

I don't think I remember ever having them at home, but they were definitely a staple of bake sales and Girl Scout meetings.

I love blondies. As a kid I never understood what the appeal was since in my head blondies were just brownies missing the chocolate. Then a friend made me a batch of the simplest, most delicious blondies ever. And I understood. And asked her for the recipe, of course!
