Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Blimpies, and now it is time for you to post until the Blimpie cows come home.

And the word of the day is: COCKALORUM!

There used to be a Blimpie's here in Tumwater, but it closed a few years ago. I really liked them. I wonder if there still are any in the area.

I just checked and it looks like the closest one is in a Wal-Mart in Yelm. That's about 20 minutes away...a little to far to go for lunch, but maybe I could go after work sometime. We'll see.

Morning all.

That is all.

Blimpie's

How are things in COCKALORUM? Almost sounds like a song title.

singdaw · « **Reply #7 on:** March 05, 2014, 03:47:26 AM »

Where I used to live, the closest Blimpie was less than 5 miles away. Now, the closest is 60 miles.

Why is it not socially acceptable to eat a slice of cake for breakfast, but OK to eat, like, three donuts?

Who says it is not socially acceptable?!?!?!

Good morning, all.

Coffee! And a banana.

I've had a slice of New Orleans King Cake with my coffee for the past three days. I'll have one later when I get back from the optometrist.

This was actually my first King Cake. Never had it before. I always thought it would be some horrible sugary confection not to my liking. Well, I was wrong. The cake itself is very much like a coffee cake, with cinnamon, and I shouldn't have let the multi-colored frosting and sprinkles throw me. It's a great coffee cake-style frosting, and would be good any time of day, of course, but in the morning it's really fine.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #12 on:** March 05, 2014, 05:12:36 AM »

But since I'm declaring it to be unlike "regular" cake, I guess the question stands!

Good morning, all! I guess the news about Rob's job got to my subconscience, since I dreamed that DR Ginny and Richard and I flew to Los Angeles for the Radio City Christmas show. I remember the three of us arriving at Radio City and I remember the box office where i bought a ticket for the 5am show. I would swear that the hotel clerk was Ruth Kobart, and that's all i can remember. I'm happy that Rob is no longer a ward of the state.

This morning I've got physical therapy and a few errands to run.

I like DEAD OF NIGHT but haven't sat down and seriously watched it in years. Must do that. The one thing I always noticed about the transfer played on TCM is that the audio seemed very scratchy.

I'm the only person I know who has never seen SOMEWHERE IN TIME. One thing I've heard is that when it plays at a theater nowadays, much of the audience goes in costume.

singdaw · « **Reply #15 on:** March 05, 2014, 05:18:29 AM »

I saw SOMEWHERE IN TIME once. On VHS. I didn't think too much of it.

DR ChasSmith - what are you going to do with the King, once you find him?

I had a partial L.A. dream, too. A lot of other stuff was involved before and after, but I was at a beach just watching the people and everything, and my dad was with me. Neither of us, of course, was our current age. Suddenly I realized it was one of those exceptional crystal clear days, and there was Catalina Island practically right in front of us. I pointed this out to my dad, and as we talked about it I saw how the people on the island looked just as close to us as the people on the beach in front of us. All very surreal, of course. Another moment or two, and I went on to another scene in the dream.

I've had a few such dreams over the years, in which I'm seeing some kind of a vista with surreal clarity. Usually I think they're from a great height, such as from the edge of a cliff, or perhaps I'm "flying" in that dream sense and I'm over this incredible vista. Not my most common dream theme, but it pops up now and then.

The King was found and kept by a friend the other night when we first cut the cake!

I don't recall having a "flying" dream in quite a while. I love the idea of surreal clarity.

I did spend an overnight on Catalina Island growing up, as part of Indian Guides.

I have also never had a Blimpie. Never been in a Blimpie, never eaten anything from a Blimpie. That seems odd, but the number of times I've eaten from Subway isn't even that great. And for no good reason. I love that stuff. I just don't think about it when out and about and needing some food.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** March 05, 2014, 05:42:00 AM »

I see there's one (and only one) here in Danbury. I'll be near there this morning and will give it the old drive-by. If it looks inviting, well, who knows...

Never did that, but I've been over on the ferry, and via private boats.

And I've flown a Cessna over there -- as passenger, then a couple of times myself when I had my license. It's quite the thrill, approaching the island and landing at that mountaintop airport. And then of course eating a buffalo burger in the airport restaurant. Makes for a fine afternoon.

Okay, must get ready for eye exam. Back later for more shenanigans.

I have nothing to add, but I'll add it anyway.

Cake for breakfast? Paging Dr. Cosby:
