Man, why does turkey take so long to cook?
Anyway, forgive me if I've already told this one. There's a lot of fantasy dorks, even at a blue-collar place like UPS, and I've told it a lot over the past couple of months, but I don't think I've told it here yet.
Tales from the Shopfloor
Now, being a typical lazy, underperforming, fat (well, actually, he's thin), union employee, he realized that he had two options: a) he could ask management to do their job and instruct him on how to do his; or b) he could hit the "can't find" button over and over again and blow through two hours worth of work in 10 minutes!
Needless to say, he opted for choice B and used his new free time to start reading George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice. At $25/hour. Plus benefits.
So, you know, he's doing that for awhile, but, meantime, the bosses may be dumb, but they're not idiots and one day [redacted] heard the sound of footsteps and he tossed the book aside. Sure enough, an angry supervisor burst through the door.
"Wtf are you doing?!? I've been watching your activity on the computer for the last half hour and...hey, what's that, A Game of Thrones?"
"Huh, what?" asked [redacted] innocently, "Oh yeah, that's my book."
So, the supervisor then went on about how he loved those books and had read each one five times, and, have you seen the tv show? for ten minutes. Then, he forgot about why he had come down there in the first place and just wandered off!
Since then, [redacted], who is not a very fast reader, has gotten up to A Feast for Crows. I've only read the first half of the first one, myself, but he likes them a lot.
It's the return of the Twinkie!
Start the countdown! Twinkies return to shelves July 15
(I wonder if Metropoulos & Co. will make them kosher. I doubt it. Actually, the temporary end of the twinkie proved good for me. Following the demise of Hostess, Tastykake came out with a kosher imitation twinkies, called "dreamies". I generally don't like Tastykake products, as I find their cakes too dry for me, but I love their dreamies, even though they could use more cream.)

Twinkies come back? No one could have foreseen it!
Oh wait.
The brands will rise from the grave after the product rights are sold off anyway.Correct. Anyone who thinks Twinkies won't exist in a year is delusional.

OTOH, I guess they're still working their way through that giant batch of Twinkie they made back in 1951.
The '51 is decent, but nothing compares to the '47 vintage.
