Candy King is very popular here and is just like Pick-A-Mix candy back in the US where you can fill a bag with a variety of candy and pay by weight. While I was staring at the variety of Easter chocolates today I noticed a bin filled with what I thought at first glance were candy nipples. Considering that Finland has a soup commercial running in prime time on TV that features a couple who roll around in the snow with full frontal nudity that makes the American furor over Janet's little 'wardrobe malfunction' seem even more idiotic, I really thought they were supposed to be nipples. I bought a few and they taste just like strawberry Tangy Taffy which used to be popular in the 70s. Sadly, Jarkko told me that they're really supposed to be mushrooms but...c'mon, I'll bet the kids don't call them mushrooms. :) I'd love to send a giant bag of them to the White House and to Ashcroft but I wouldn't get the joy of watching the secret service either freak out over the 'obscene' candy or the bioterrorism scare from a Finnish anthrax killer nipple attack. :) This is a GrokNews Entry: (what is grok?)Candygram for DubyaGrok Headline matches for Candygram for DubyaCandygramCandygram 09/13/2004 04:55 PM Candygram 1.0 beta 2 Released Candygram 1.0 beta 2Candygram 1.0 beta 2 09/13/2004 04:37 PM A Python implementation of Erlang concurrency primitives.

Dubya 09/01/2004 08:58 PM While the widely discredited Swift Boat attack campaign against John Kerry appears to be rightly sinking, a new vessel has appeared on the horizon -- and she's cruising into port with a cargo full of bona fides about George W. Bush. Join Skipper Sonny Wallace and the Pleasure Boat Captains for Truth for a cocktail or three, and a quick sail through the murky waters of the 43rd president's past. Guaranteed to cure any RNC-induced queasiness in just under 60 seconds.

(All on webcast, our TV is a movie box, doesn’t get any channels). He’s full of questions so I tried to explain, and as a result the candidate is the only public figure in the world whose face he knows, when we’re somewhere that there’s a TV showing news he’s apt to pipe up “There’s John Kerry.” This is a little embarrassing, especially considering he’s a Canadian. This morning I was reading news and made some remark about George Bush and he asked “who’s he?” so I tried to explain the big picture around the election and I went looking for some Dubya pix to show him. So I went to the bio page at the official Bush re-election site, and clicked on “View George W. Bush Photo Gallery”... busted link, a peek inside the source reveals href="\News\PhotoAlbum.aspx"... if I were
mean-spirited I’d suggest that something about either being
Republican or using Windows makes you stupid, but seriously, have to
wonder about an organization that claims it can run America not being
clueful enough to use a link-checker. Back to our story... I went to
Google and looked for pictures of
George Bush. This turns out to be a bad idea; the top-ranked
pictures are by and large, shall we say, not Republican-friendly.
Wanted posters, deranged-monster morphs, things that have just got
ta be PhotoShopped. “Why are you laughing, Daddy?” said the
kid, and I couldn’t really explain. (PS: Lots of nice pictures of
George over at the White House site if you want ’em)."oh, for fuck sake. could i have any
