By gum, it's gum.

Willy Wonka: Don't you know what this is?
Violet Beauregarde: By gum, it's gum.
Willy Wonka: [happily, but sarcastically] Wrong! It's the most amazing, fabulous, sensational gum in the whole world.
Violet Beauregarde: What's so fab about it?
Willy Wonka: This little piece of gum is a three-course dinner.
Mr. Salt: Bull.
Willy Wonka: No, roast beef. But I haven't got it quite right yet.


Um.... wait, what was that? Strawberry Shortcake flavored gum? Mint chocolate chip? KEY LIME PIE?! Supposedly these are set to be released to the public in October. Well, it's October. Please let me know if you see these in the store. I want to try them! I don't even know where to look - which stores carry the trendiest gums? Well, regardless, the reviews I have read of this gum are great, and I WANT IT.

Lists 'R' Us

I present to you two awesome lists.

First up is The Top 20 Worst Children's Book Covers. Jeff will be pleased that I chose to share with you one of the covers that WASN'T about poop. Here's a poop-free example:

And even more delicious - The Top 10 New Foods at the 2010 State Fairs. You will find that hot dogs are a key player. Such as the hashbrown dog:

Oh how I love a good list...

Pancake Party

Ever since my camp friends went to Canada and brought me back some REAL maple syrup, I have been wanting to have a Pancake Party. The premise is simple.

Step 1) Fill a giant bowl with pancake batter.

Step 2) Invite your friends over, asking them to bring their favorite fixin' - be they blueberries or chocolate chips or whatever.

Step 3) Make a heckuva lot of pancakes.

Step 4) Consume step 3.

[I realize it would make more sense to do step 2 first, but you get the idea.]

I am hoping to whip up a few decorations. We also plan to watch a movie tonight, too. I'll give you a hint:



It's gonna be AWESOME.
