Brevity by Dan Thompson for July 25, 2012

evil clerk smiles

Oh, I remember saltwater taffee. We used to get it at the fair. You could watch ’em make it. It came in two forms, long thin strips and little wrapped kisses…..I want some now,,,cherry and orange…..the big long stretchy ones…..NOW!

I want some now too, dangit

My favorite salt water taffy is the ones that come in a bag that my grandma sends me whenever she goes to oregon, those are the best ive ever had.

Jaws breaker candy.

We’re going to need a bigger box.

They sell salt water taffy at the State Fair of Texas. If you calculate the price per pound, it is more expensive than filet mignon or good caviar.

Look at the door it says "Amity " (the name of the island in Jaws) so I have a funny feeling that it is Quin. He got them hook line and sinker.

Taffy! I can feel the fillings in my teeth being pulled out right now.

The taffy is soft and gooey won’t be a JAWS breaker.

Of course it’s Quint…

phillyfantukinme, oh, thanks! Now I want to go to the Island too……!

Oh, yeah. When my kids were little we’d do the Time Warp. Again.

Well…. Thanks, 6…. but I in all honesty…I knew it was “Jaws”… and I recognised the face…. but I couldn’t name it.

However, as I’ve said before….I am “One with The Google.”

I’m thinking so is Dan…Guy says “so it’s the guy from Jaws, see?” … or a helicopter or a cruise ship or whatever….and Dan googles ’em up.

Annnd….. Varnes…. if you want to be really jealous, our county fair starts today…I’m going tomorrow and hopefully several other days.There’s usually a supposedly “Mackinac Island” fudge booth, but I don’t know whether they have taffy.If it’s like their fudge, it’s about $16 a pound and you have to buy a half pound.Good thing I’m not fond of taffy.

One more thing…. if Rocky Horror isn’t the best picture ever, it’s definitely in the running.

they must be whale(ing) sharks?
