Ellroon, in Florida the workers could pull their guns and kill the customers who were packing by simply saying they were a perceived threat. Actually, if you walk into a convenience store down here with a gun and no badge, you have the survival potential of s fresh beignet on Sunday morning.
You’re right, Badtux, everyone seems to have been storing up pastry snark for use in just such a situation.
Well, enough of this crepe, back to kinder… the Florida legislature.

Good thing it wasn’t a powdered donut! They would have been closed for business for two days while they had the powder examined.
Further proof that the French are nothing but trouble.
The croissant ws just to lull us into a false sense of security. We all know how high St. Pete is on the terrorists list of strategic locales to invade in America… Be vigilant, you never know, next time it may be a baguette!!! Now there is the REAL danger, folks!
If anyone sends a croissant in a bag to my house, I’ll make it sorry it was ever baked.
A snarky penguin hangs his head in shame over not being able to outsnark the snarkers who have come before him.

]]>I’m on to them though! Next time I see anyone put their hand into a bag, I’m gonna yell “TERRORIST!” in a loud voice.
And because Starbucks is letting people come in packing heat… it’s gonna get real interesting!

I think we can all agree that there is nothing inherently evil about brown paper bags, and if some people occasionally used their nose instead of a metal detector, such episodes would be unnecessary.
I think people would like to believe that this is a rare occurrence, but, alas, the US spends a hell of a lot of money every year blowing up people’s lunches. Not that long ago cops could be depended on to eat found lunches, not detonate a blob of C4 near them. [There are rumors that the Ait Force EOD guys do eat the lunches, but blow up the bag because they like excuses to blow things up.]
Instead of “Be Afraid” we should be thinking “bon appétit”. I believe we were advised that” a Child would lead them”, or something similar.
]]>Makes me think I should stop by my favorite patisserie (http://www.renaudsbakery.com) and be “doubly” terroristic and get ALMOND croissants.

As Bryan said, those croissant’s are crescent shaped, and generally have a dark complexion. But I think that they are mostly harmless and safe to consume, in moderation! But whatever you do Anya… If you see one with a dark beard… RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! 😈
Police suspect the French resistance group… Pièce de résistance is responsible
I like that one. 😉 😆
And, ummmmm… In response to comment two… I think it’s very safe to say that Osama and many others have been laughing since 9/11/01. And the real tragedy is that even if the USA captured Osama tomorrow (not gonna happen), he would still very much have the last laugh.
Curiously, I watched a news program we have here on ABC called ‘Lateline’, and they had a good interview with the British philosopher A.C Grayling, while he visits Aus. Now there is an intelligent human! It’s worth watching, there is a vid of it on the ABC site, and a transcript:
Religion in its ‘death throes’
Don’t let the title put you off or throw you. 😉 They only discuss the subject of Religion in the first part (and that was quite interesting, especially his view on the whole ‘Intelligent Design’ red herring, and I found myself in agreement with him on the whole subject, including why so many US Politicians have to pretend to be devout God fearing people, when they are clearly not – for the most part). They also discuss Global Warming, and other topics. 🙂
It so nice to hear someone sane and rational discuss these things for a change. 🙂
