For those of you that were bemoaning the demise of that ersatz desert treat known as Twinkies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRtkyrWEDkM

Now I know that I will have a goal when the zombie apocalypse is here.
When there was a threat of no Twinkies, I had no idea what would motivate me on.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Don't look now gentlemen, but I THINK I see the topic of "Jaffa Cakes" reappearing off our eastern shores at this very moment!!! (...and so IF I were Paul Revere, I suppose I should now be exclaiming, "The BRITISH are coming! The BRITISH are coming...again"!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I've been trying to eat healthier and grow my own foods. But I can't seem to find any Twinkie seeds anywhere.

Interesting. 
I'm trying to smoke healthier, and I too now grow my own. (the seeds are everywhere)
So what's this got to do with Twinkies? Well, I'm now eating more of them too! 
And you may see me tonight

Come to the Iowa State Fair. They'll have fried Twinkies on a stick!
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Why deep fried of course, like all the other fried and on a stick stuff at the fair. I understand someone was selling fried butter on a stick. I'm not sure how that works, I'm not sure I want to.

Had fried Ice Cream one year. Frozen patty covered in crushed nuts and coconut. Deep dried for 7-8 seconds, maybe. $6.50, it was terrible. Grease covered Ice Cream  As the saying goes, there's a sucker born every minute

I just got back from the market. Bought a box of Twinkies just in case they go away again.

Well actually the same day the were back on the shelves my wife bought a box of the cupcakes. I had one. Taste the same, just a chocolate cupcake. She put the rest in the deep freeze to hide them from herself. Yeah that didn't work, once she found out they didn't turn to rocks the rest disappeared. She can afford it though, she runs about 5-10 miles a day. Sorry I was mistaken I actually had 2.
