PAEAN FOR THE SOUTH

My significant other, who is referred to on this blog as 'Savage Kitten', often produces odd things. Years ago she posted a flyer for a fictitious restaurant up and down the block where my office was located, advertising 'Round Rhonda's Midnight Eats'. Coming soon! Lard Puffs, Cornmeal Cheese and Bacon Fritters, Creamed Crawdaddy Pockets, Blue Cheese Pulled-Pork Po'Boys, Zesty Cajun Oyster Béchamel Shakes ......

Apparently Round Rhonda intended everyone to die of exploding heart. Something involving mega amounts of bad cholesterol, scarfed down after dark when you were really jonesing.

"Ya, that gooooood! Make you slap yo' mama!"

Many of my coworkers were bitterly disappointed that Round Rhonda's never opened. Engineers are a ravenous lot.


In a similar vein, she recently sent me an advertisement. She wrote it as an msword formatting exercise, but I really wish it were real.

AFTERWORD

I don't know about you, but I'm all excited.
Stuff like this makes you realize how dull life normally is. Especially if, like Savage Kitten, you are a small Cantonese-American female with a burning yearning for new and interesting things to eat.

I wonder what's for dinner tonight.

I have an important question. Could you please write an informative post about this, sharing your knowledge with us?

I am interested in knowing about the Whaling Wall. Why do the Jews specifically hunt whales from this specific wall? If I understand correctly, there is an old tradition of Jewish whaling, for Ahab and Ishmael, important Jewish whalers, were both around all the way back in the time of the Jewish Bible. I believe that they whaled from the Whaling Wall. Is that correct? What more can you explain about this topic?
