What on earth was the name of the Nabisco peanut butter cookies available in Canada until (at least) the mid-80s. Blue package, two biscuits, top one had a doughnut hole, stuffed with vaguely peanut-butterish filling. It is driving us batty.

Actually

My god how I love this woman

A pair of sweet old ladies came into the room, sat down on the other side of the table and handed me two type-written sheets.

Assignment Two

A song. It begins with a person speaking is-this-mic-on phrases such as check, check one and testing one two three and rhubarb rhubarb. After a minute or so, others would join in, each speaking similar phrases in choppy rhythmic counterpoint to to the original voice. Over time, the overall sound should become increasingly busy, but at no point should it descend into chaos.

Two minutes in, male and female theatre students will join in, repeating I like to eat apples and bananas.

In the final 30 seconds, singers will introduce a melody, with three-part harmony, build on the phrase hey doodle.

Now Dailier Than Ever

Having burbled away behind the scenes for the past couple years as a sloppy chunk of PHP and a two-column database table, the Daily Oliver is now a standalone Textpattern site. This means two things, for a start: for me, it means I no longer have to add dailies from within a Unix shell, and for you, it means you may, if you’re so inclined, now leave comments like christ these are getting repetitive and what’s that stuck to Hugo’s ass.
