But I like them best several months after Easter, when they're delightfully chewy and you can bite off their little heads and they scream so ... oh, sorry, this *is* a family newsgroup isn't it? They also freeze wonderfully. Then again, efforts to preserve them really seem somewhat redundant, as what they really are is less sweet, less granular Twinkies. the purple and aqua ones, however, are demon spawn even by Peep/Bunny standards. - -- Lori, who thinks since it's so late you're expecting nonsense anyway, so she may as well deliver. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 00:24:46 -0500 From: Thomas Fazzio Subject: Re: Smarties > >if I can get to a wegmans before I go to Frucon I will get mass > >quantities of smarties (American).

After the show we drove up Georgia Ave and I think I saw this Vegas on Wheels exposition. Of course, there are always cop cars, ambulances, various cars stopped, people running red lights and whatnot on Georgia Ave. in DC at night. Last time we took the metro to the 9:30 Club, got off at U St.-Cardoza, got out the wrong side, walked down the street in broad daylight and saw a bunch of police cars next to a couple of alleys. Over the cop CB I heard something like "Suspect is armed and robbed the local donut place (or whatever it was) and is down the alley". The exact alleys we just happened to be walking by to get to the Club. But, of course, as with such activity in DC we forgot about it half an hour later as we are totally desensitized to such behavior.
