Long time friend of the blog, "Special Ed" sent me the following item which has rocked the Muqata blog to its very core.
Presenting, the "Wafflesicle" ...
What the iPad is to the iPod, the "Wafflesicle" is to the run of the mill breakfast "Waffle"
Forget everything you ever thought you knew about waffles. Because Lolly, a waffle maker that produces 9.4-inch waffle cones on a stick, has changed everything. Can I interest you in a wafflesicle? Of course I can.
Lolly, from Triangular Concept, can crank out four of these delicious-looking treats in under two minutes. Which is good, because that's about how long it'd take me to down the first batch and be ready for the second. [Triangular Concept via TheTrendyGirl via The Daily What]
I guess the West Coast Wafflemeister, Jack, will have to weigh in on this one...(and we haven't seen him around here since he inherited a fortune from Shola, the Nigerian Spammer)
FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A woman decided to go to jail rather than pay her bill at a Fort Pierce Waffle House restaurant.
The total she went to jail over: $7.45.
According to a police report, Maryanne O'Neill, 66, ordered coffee and a sandwich waffles at a Waffle House restaurant on Saturday but refused to pay the bill.
The report said an officer asked her to pay or go to jail and she refused.
A jail official says she was released Monday from the St. Lucie County Jail. She is charged with obtaining food or lodging with intent to defraud, a second degree misdemeanor.
How totally uncouth.
Obviously not a reader of the Muqata blog.
Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael טובה הארץ מאד מאד
My heartfelt thanks to the Holy Hyrax, Ezzie, Jack, and Joe for keepingusallamusedattheMuqata while I was traveling. Ending Adar with a bang, I think the Holy Hyrax has proved himself not only as a master podcaster, but a graphic artist and blogger par excellence. Though the eyebrows on the yellow smiley of me being "rescued" were a bit much (I think!).
The main issues on my head these days are as follows, and I'll be writing about each of them this week.
1. The month of Nissan is approaching -- the month of redemption. Do we really feel that redemption is something that can actually happen at any given moment? Do believing Jews, specifically Modern Orthodox Jews, actually view the arrival of Mashiach as a reality?
2. Yeshiva students at "The Mir" (Mirrer Yeshiva) in Jerusalem. Relatives of mine who learn there refuse to visit "The Muqata" because "its too dangerous." When I answered point for point that Jerusalem was "more dangerous" statistically, my facts were thrown to the wind. This annoyed me big-time.
3. What's happening here in Israel? Olmert's popularity is at an all-time low (which is bad news, because that means it can only go up). The good news is that the Kinneret's water level is increasing daily! There's still snow on the Chermon!
4. Toys toys toys. My wife always says, that when boys get older, their toys get more expensive. This does NOT have to be the case!
Check out these cool toys (CHEAP) that I'm playing with or ordering these days (and my kids are mega impressed).
Amazing Radio Controlled Helicopter ($20 including shipping) I'm having a blast with this...and everyone at work today was totally jealous.
The Green Laser. As opposed to regular "red" lasers, you can see the entire beam on a green laser (think: Star Wars). This will have Jack drooling with envy...and I'm sure he'll want to order one as well. (Warning: anything above the 5 milliwatt version may be dangerous!) Only $16.75...these things are too cool!
