Hands Off the Lollipops!


Okay, I just have to rant for a moment. I was watching one of those morning "newsy" shows (yes, we finally got TV. Well, sort of. We get three stations, all a little snowy except for PBS which comes in crystal-clear Hi-Def). Anyhow, I was watching this show while the Sugar Baby was once again stuffing various objects into the air tube of his ball popper machine thingy, and of course they had a segment on Super Bowl recipes. What were they making? Chicken Lollipops. No, not chicken flavored lollipops-- that would be gross. But you know how all the fancy schmancy chefs now make "lollipops" out of meat by pushing it all to the end of the bone so it looks like a lollipop? Ick. That's just stupid and it gives lollipops a bad name. Enough of this. Oh, and while I'm at it, no more of those "savory" ice cream cones, either. Like the cones filled with a "moussaline of smoked salmon." No, no, no!
(By the way, I've always thought the Sugar Baby looked a little like a member of the Lollipop Guild. Kind of freaky, huh?)

I always thought the guy on the left looked like our cousin, Joey Gallagher, and the guy in the middle like Billy Cosgrove!!!
