bushism of the day

a coworker just asked me if i like Macedonian nuts. [insert tasteless, racially inappropriate joke here]

i've eaten three sugar plums today, and only now, while gnoshing* the last one, did i make the association with the sugar plum fairies of nutcracker fame. which is a shame, b/c i danced as one during the xmas production in grade school. how my synapses fail me!

* dunno if there should be a silent g there, but it makes the word seem wiser, no?

no! they're real! and they're prettier than real plums too in an asymetrical, rosy way.

Why did I think it was knoshing? Maybe because of knishes...? Where's a lefty Jewish handler when you need one?!

i went to another store and they were labelled as "giant figs"...much less appealing.
