Girl Scout Cookies Getting 'Toyotaed'

It's Girl Scout Cookie season. If you like Thin Mints - as I do - and want them during the off season, Keebler makes a similar product, the Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper mints. Now the news is telling us that - just like no one expected Toyota to have safety-related problems - a Kentucky bakery has recalled the Lemon Chalet cookies because of a breakdown in cooking oil. Apparently it's not that they're unsafe to eat as much as they taste funny (or bad.)

I got the phrase 'Toyotaed' from an associate of mine who points out how bad the service of Delta Air Lines is by mentioning when someone gets a bad trip* from an airline that "they got Deltaed." So when an unexpected product recall occurs, I say the product "gets Toyotaed."

* The use of the term "bad trip" here which also is used to refer to an unsatisfactory experience taking LSD, is intentional for ironic purposes

Welcome to My blog! This is where I store my thoughts so that I can come back to them at some point in the future. This allows me a place like a journal to keep what I'm thinking about. But anyone else is welcome to visit; I make this place public so that other people can hear what I'm thinking.

This is where I make comments on any subject I find of interest. My political comments are in the Politics section, and technical items are in the Computers section. Note, if you want to make a comment, e-mail it to me at paul@paul-robinson.us. I am sorry that I had to disable comments, but after I had deleted the 300th worthless piece of spam comment on this blog and receiving exactly zero valid comments, I decided to stop allowing spammers to excrement all over me and my blog. If you have *anything* at all to say, send it to me in e-mail; if it is even the slightest bit relevant - even if I don't agree with it, I will post it. (As soon as I find a way to stop spammers from posting junk I'll allow direct comments.) Note that if you are a visitor and post a comment, it defaults to "draft" meaning I have to approve it before it is visible, so if you're posting spam, don't bother, nobody will see it.
