which_chickI baked the sables (the NYT cookies, remember?) last night. I don't know if it's me or what, but I have not yet found an icebox cookie I could tolerate. So it was with these. They were crunchy, yes, but in a dissolving fashion, and they were way too fucking oily. No. I do not like them, Sam I Am. (Sam is the high priest of taste.) I baked them, tasted them three times in an hour, and decided I didn't like them. I tossed them. Life is too short for bad cookies.
On an entirely unrelated note, my nephew Duncan got a Rescue Heroes (tm) action figure and helicopter for xmas. Joe says Duncan likes the Rescue Heroes toys and he certainly seems to enjoy playing with them. Since he's three, he's probably not faking enjoyment. He does not seem even remotely aware that they all have names that make them sound like they're performers in gay porn. The human Rescue Heroes are overwhelmingly male and a disturbing number of them have leather-daddy mustaches, so the "performers in gay porn" thing is not entirely out of line. (I am not the only family member who thinks this about the Rescue Heroes.)
Rescue Hero names:
Billy Blazes
Jack Hammer
Ariel Flyer (one of the girls)
C.D. Moon
Rocky Canyon
Maureen Biologist (the other girl)
Willy Stop
Roger Huston
Kenny Ride
Perry Chute
Red Wood
Ty Phoon
Match the Rescue Hero (tm) with the sidekick pet figure!!
You don't need answers for this, I don't think. They're fairly straightforward. I keep thinking that Pat Pending is out there enforcing patent law, but I don't think that's really a Rescue Heroes (tm) scenario. Although he looks like Stalin, I don't think he's holding the hammer and sickle of... of... whatever. Though, come to think of it, communism could probably use a defender of patents more than capitalism could.
If you'd like to know more about Rescue Heroes (tm), they have a web site here: www.rescueheroes.com.
I don't imagine it has anything at all to do with gay porn. Pity, that.
