I really think I need to hear this story!
I wasn't there myself, but I am sure the upshot was that there are Very Few Actual Bagel Flavors, such as: plain, egg, sesame, onion, garlic, poppyseed, salt, and everything.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

My mother and I have chocolate chip bagels every Saturday morning and try to pretend we aren't having chocolate chips for breakfast.
One...Two...Three. Eat a muffin, whitey!
(Does someone have the RIO post on tap, so zuisa knows what the hell I'm talking about?)
Yay, door! There's nothing more precious in cubeland.

From COMM:
Rio in natter on the white man's need for flavored bagels:
the bagel thing fits in with my larger theory about white people and muffins. I don't have time to go into detail right now, but basically the thing is: White people just want to eat muffins 24/7, but they are ashamed of this fact, so they take totally good yummy foods like bagels and coffee and ice cream and turn it all into muffins. Hence stuff like the blueberry bagel. The caramel latte. The chunky chocolate-almond-caramel-fudge ice cream. JUST EAT A FRELLING MUFFIN, WHITEY! That is what I say.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
Haha.
I am sorry that I have apparently committed some sort of sin against bagels?
I suppose I like the real kinds well enough!

Thanks, Sparky!

I don't have a class right now, so I just ran to the bathroom.
I got asked for a hall pass. I find this absolutely hilarious. It happens all the time, but never really stops amusing me.

So, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller are going to alternate playing Dr. Frankenstein and the monster on stage in London?? [link] Nice.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We all wandered in at separate times and as each one of us sat down with the other Buffistas who were there, we'd bite into our sad little midwestern faux-bagel, and every single one of us said "Hey, that's not a bagel!" Every. Single. Time. Which was hilarious to the non-NYCistas there, and terribly sad for us New Yorkers who hadn't even had our damn coffee yet.
