PAIN IN THE ASSylum
November 5, 2007
Dear commontaters and lowbrowsers,
I attacked the site a couple of days ago. Can’t explain this auto-immune-like overeaction to my own outpourings other than to say that I could have used a lobotomy the morning of All Idiots Day but Kate took all the knitting needles with her to Spain.
I saved most of the earlier blogs (not all) and I think I have all the wonderfully silly comments on my yahoo mail. But I doubt it could be put back together again.
The pain continues.

In a hallmark kind of tone “like last night’s supper, it’s all behind us now”. Just happy to hear it wasn’t my last comment which sent you gouging. Like Barkley, rise from the asses.

Commontaters! You piqued the curiosity of this neanderthal lunching at cromagnan’s tavern. If I were Hank Znow, I’d write a long listing song of the Canadian registered varieties of potaters (some catchy names. I’m thinking of changing my own name to ZZ-9649-6 in honour of the Uncommontater)

The common taters indeed ! While lowbrowsing the menu at Cromagnan’s Tavern, my neanderthal mind drifted towards the list of po-po pitiful tatoes (and pickled Dan Quail eggs) and the swirling of the first snowfall .. snow ! I thought of Hank’s Snow and were I he, perhaps I’d string them all along into a long song ala I’ve Eaten Everywhere Boys… but it’s quite a mouthful. Perhaps I ought to fix up my name and make it more colourful.. something like Bud the ZNL30-RBK-82 . OK ! here goes … to the tune of 4′33” (with apologies to Ti-Jean Cage)
