It's a Big Old Goofy World

...and this is a Goofy little town. Check this out - Extra! Extra! As you can see here there is much ado in Freddy when it comes to tasty triangular pastries. I think that a lot of people that line-up for samosas somehow assume this to be a normal thing to do; like people around the world are lining up for samosas. Well I'm pretty sure they aren’t! This particularlar phenomenon is isolated to Fredericton, isolated pockets (samosas, if you will) of Britain and, obviously the streets of Calcutta. But that should be taken with a grain of salt because everyone knows that the Brits and Indians queue up for anything. In North America we don’t, making the Fredericton samosa phenomenon noteworthy enough to garner newpaper attention.

Talk about a slow news day; today’s top story – NO SAMOSAS! This is my favourite part of the article:
"Iyengar said a letter circulated to market shoppers last Saturday - signed by Ken McGeorge, the executive director of York County Properties - said samosa products attract as many as 2,000 to 3,000 patrons to the market each week."
Mind boggling - we can hardly get enough people attract the Hip for 14 years and yet we can gravitate, weekly, by the thousands for samosas. Crazy...

Actually, more then one person sent me this link today. One email simply said "ahhh, no samosas" and the concern seemed geniune. I can understand it though, those things are sofa king good...

As an interesting aside; Snoop Dogg is in town tonight and word on the street is that he asked for 75 buckets of Popeye's chicken as his rider. Unfortunately we don't have a Popeye's here so word is they are giving him 25 dozen samosas and a lifetime supply of chutney.

Pace out.
