Dang old California people and their See's. So wacky.

Oh dang I am going to have to buy my birthday chocolate from someplace else now.

Solid update but I am NOT looking forward to reading the end of NP's book.

Dang old California people and their See's. So wacky.

I had a brief stint working as an assistant manager at Fannie May candy store for four months until the company folded (its recipes, name, and some of its properties have been purchased and although the candy is made in a different factory, the stores have re-opened). People would come into the store and rag on other chocolate companies like crazy. "So, I went to europe and sampled all the finest chocolates there. They don't compare! Godiva is too waxy. Whitman's Sampler? Get serious." Some of the attitude I can chalk up to regional preference, but you know what? I ate that chocolate all day and never got tired of it. I would sometimes have cravings for it on my days off. I informed my friend on the west coast of Fannie May's supperiority and she said "Really? I always thought See's was the best." No, it is not. It is not the best. My dad's wife sends me See's candies every Christmas and Easter and it is not that good. Granted, the stuff she sells me is probably the type of stuff that they buy from other companies and slap their names on (Fannie May did that with peripheral stuff), but I have no problems passing judgment on their entire product line based on those candies.

I've heard of Fanny Farmer chocolates...(If I had some land, I would be a "Fanny Farmer" HA-HAW!) but I've never heard of Fannie Mae outside the context of low-income housing lenders. The internet tells me there are Fanny May chocolates....weird.

Well, it is Fannie May http://www.fanniemay.com/ which is a sister company of Fanny Farmer (first names spelled differently). Fannie May is the superior product line. Now I'm hungry... Freddie Mac has yet to make his foray into the chocolate industry, but maybe he should. Maybe he should.

The confusion stems from the fact that a small box of Fanny May candy is given to each new Fannie Mae tenant in anticipation of the tenants' soon-to-be-broken dreams.

I dated a girl from CA that sent me some See's once as a gift. I don't remember a whole lot about it, except I didn't like it that much.

Give me fuck*ng Hershey's, man. I ain't proud.

so...
onstad is implying that we should send him presents?

Also: Strays? Why would you want strays? It's like if the Beatles got together, but it was really just... without the bassist who wrote most of their songs.

I guess that comparison wouldn't work for the Beatles, because the Beatle's bassist who wrote many of their songs is alive, whereas Lennon is dead. I don't know what his counterpart in Jane's Addiction is.

ANyway. what I'm saying is, Strays is not a great thing to listen to.

Fuck you.  McCartney is a sellout fuck*ng hack.  He's about this far from dang ol' Johnny Cougar.  He'd do waterbed commercials on AM radio if there was more than 4 bucks in it for him.  Fuck that shit.

what?
what?

Why are you...
what did I....
ahh!
ahh!

So does Nice Pete's novel actually exist?

So does Nice Pete's novel actually exist?

And is it illustrated? I'm horrified by the idea that it is, yet I'd be more interested in it with, you know, pictures and stuff.
