A New Record

By Kate on February 12, 2005 6:12 PM | 11 Comments

I purchased a 350 g bag of Dad's Goodie Rings (chewy, chocolatey cookies made with oatmeal, peanut butter and coconut) at Wal-Mart just under 23 hours ago. All that remains is a sad, crumpled yellow carcass and the empty husk of a cookie tray.

If I could just spread Cheeze Whiz on these things, they would qualify as "Nature's Most Perfect Food".

So now you're trying to look like Colby Cosh too?

After the week I just spent in the body shop, I needed to regain my strength.

Cheeze Whiz has an active ingredient highly recommended to repair cuticle damage caused by toxic paint solvents and abrasive cleansers.

it took you 23 hours ?

Amateur...!

So 350 g would be . . . um, how much in terms of pounds and ounces? (Not that I slept through math class, or that I'm a pathetically provincial American or anything like that . . . )

Hey, I first read that and automatically went into translation mode and got 350 pounds. No, that can't be right - so I wrote it off as one of those things they measure amoebas with.

A third of a kilo, and a kilo is 2.2 pounds...

Can't be. They' have holes in the middle.

Jay | February 13, 2005 3:22 PM

The hole in the middle only benefits you if you eat that too - you did, didn't you?

2.2 pounds . . . are you familiar with the phrase "fat fat water rat" or is that just an American thing?

Kate | February 13, 2005 3:43 PM

Just checked - still a size 8.

Apparently the holes do the trick.

I thought Cheeze Whiz would stick to anything.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
