Yes, it’s a big deal, however after a one hour round trip to Florida get them, I’m not that impressed. The Price Chopper still holds the crown from several years ago for the best version in the history of the world. These are ok, but just not up to the same standard. They oddly were packed in a pizza box and when I got them home a couple were stuck to the inside lid. My impression is that these are more traditional, therefore boring. The Price Chopper ones were almost like regular donuts filled with overwhelming goodness and sugar. The worst part about this story is that they never ever made them with the same filling again. Fuck!
I also regret to report that Florida wasn’t sunny or warm either, contrary to what I was led to believe. The roads are in a very poor state of repair too. Oy Vey! I was impressed with the cake display. I felt like I had been transported back to Acland Street St Kilda in 1985.
Best Pączkis in the history of the world
I’ll probably go back for a cake or three sometime. Yesterday I read an alarmist article about the rise of Ai. The fellow who wrote it described the phenomenon as something akin to War Of The Worlds where Martians descend on to earth and wreak havoc on the helpless humans. He didn’t actually say that, but that’s the impression I got.
Let me know when Ai can fix the leak in the roof which invariably happens somewhere after this kind of horrible cold that we’ve had to put up with. Ai isn’t clearing the fucking ice rink that’s on the porch either. Yes, be very afraid of Ai. It’s fucked when the power goes out. I hope it knows that. Interestingly along with this alarmist rhetoric, the guy who wrote it strongly suggested that you sign up for a monthly subscription so you can have your own Ai agent. Oh, ok. Pay up or die. Again, if it will fix the roof I’m in, otherwise forget it.
Nope
Yesterday’s band practice was good, although Rick was drumming so energetically, a person would have wondered if he was on crack or something. I don’t know, maybe he was just feeling full of life. The trouble though, when one person starts playing really loud is that the rest of the band has to turn up to catch up. It’s not the way to go because it just keeps getting louder and louder and you end up not being able to hear anything.
Gene – not a fan of Rap
I don’t know man. So far today, no famous Rock stars have gone to be with Jesus, but it’s not yet gone 11 am. From today’s Post however, In a “LegendNLeaders” (the name alone is enough to avoid something like that) podcast this week Gene Simmonds, when asked by the host Ben Weiss who said he himself had “gravitated toward more “hip-hop adjacent stuff” in his youth, but Gene wasn’t impressed. “It’s not my music,” said the rocker, I don’t come from the ghetto. It doesn’t speak my language. And as I said in print many times, hip-hop does not belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, nor does opera or symphony orchestras.”
Ditto – Keef
“In a 2015 Rolling Stone interview Simmons said he was eagerly awaiting the “death of rap.” Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards once sneered that it’s “so many words, so little said,” and claimed the genre caters to a “tone-deaf” audience in a 2015 interview with the New York Daily News. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it, and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another,” Richards said.”
I couldn’t agree so much more it’s unreal.
Good Day
Oy Vey, they play good these fellas!
