light schnecken

I have been mucho muchly busy at the Place Where They Give Me the Money. I like them. Because of the Giving-Me-the-Money thing. I don't even begrudge them the time they cut into my Fun-Having and/or Writing for Free, because of the money.

Oh, please. We all know I'm a ho. If I did what I love for no money, I'd still be a ho, I'd just be a dumb ho.

Anyway, here's what's been going on.

I got a free sample of schnecken from the Schnecken Connection.

They're like pastry-pushers, is what they are.

They're selling Yiddish crack.

The sample had three pieces. I figured I would eat one and give the other two to That Man of Mine. I ate all three. And now I have to buy more, because apparently, one of the side effects of Yiddish crack is massive guilt.

I'm actively planning the arrival of my new shipment. I will probably eat them in the dark, to make them seem more sinful.

Midnight schnecken. I foresee a fad.

Go to the site, if you like pastry, aren't allergic to nuts, don't mind guilt, and want a sample of your very own.

I'm telling you. I liked it so much I talked about it at length in the most recent Podcrapular podcast, a full-on episode with Andy.

Speaking of Andy, want to do him a solid?

The other night, Letterman had Sylvester Stallone on, and Sly was whinging about how you never see a good plate spinner on the talk shows anymore.

Guess what Andy can do?

(Besides that. You can't get on talk shows for doing that, unless you get caught Pee-Wee-Herman-handed.)

Anyway, if you want to see Andy Martello spin plates on Letterman, we're starting a letter writing campaign. The email address is cbsmailbag@aol.com.

(Andy was offering free swag to anyone who participates in this; for all I know, he still is, so I included a "CC" code in that email link to help you out a little.)

Know what'd be fun? If Andy got to teach Sylvester Stallone how to spin plates on Letterman. I would stay up late on a school night to see that shit.

Let's see. What else?

Oh. I got interviewed.

At ten, Matthew at In the Air is the youngest interviewer I've ever had. He has SPD and AS and, with the help of his mom, he's started a blog, including an interview project, as a means of helping him learn with a little fun involved.

He also asked me, possibly, the best question I've ever been asked in an interview:

"What is your favorite cookie?"

If you want to see the answer to that, go to In the Air and read the whole interview.

I'm in marvelous company, by the way. Matthew has also interviewed Dan Schneider (who used to play Dennis on Head of the Class — I loved that show) and Adam Savage of Mythbusters.

Matthew rocks.

I think that's all I've got, right now. Unless you actually give a frig that I trimmed my bangs this morning and I look kind of cute.

Oh, bangs. That reminds me of Katie Kate Holmes, and that reminds me of Scientology, which makes me want to point out the following:

Golfwidowism, my personal disorganized religion, is preferable to Scientology in my opinion for many reasons, but leaving most of those aside, the best reason it's better than Scientology is that there isn't a quiz.

(As you can see, you have no reason to fear. Just because I don't have time to post my brain confetti doesn't mean it's not still flying with a vengeance.)
