A brief update on whose goods have safely arrived at the western judges' headquarters. In order of arrival we have:
1)Mandos
2)Claire
3)TeamChicago
4)Brando/TLB
5)Snag
6)Pinko Punko/Geenie Cola
7)Mendacious D
8)Billy Pilgrim/Zelmo
and...
9)Kathleen!!!
The write-up for Team Brando/TLB goes up tomorrow. I'm laying off of the cookie tastings for the night as I realized the fluctuations in blood sugar were bringing out my alter ego, "Ginger Snap" (pronounced Snay-AP!)
I'd like to make an announcement that will make Pinko Punko very happy.
I can't enter the Bake-off.
I tried. I've been baking. But, I've had one family situation after another this week and have been "on call" for family members AND THEY HAVE TOTALLY SCREWED UP MY SCHEDULE!
I planned to get my stuff shipped today but couldn't. I could ship them tomorrow, but I'm guessing they wouldn't get to AG and Jennifer till next Wed and I baked some of the stuff on Monday and I just don't think it would arrive, um, fresh at all.
So, for all my trash talking -- this is what it comes down to.
Nothin'.
Sorry Dear Judges! And I'm sure everyone else is breathing a huge sigh of relief.
AND, it doesn't mean I'm not going to continue trash talking on my blog!

BG- I'm sorry to hear about all of the familial stuff. That's never easy, especially during such a busy time. Get some rest!
We look forward to the continued trash talk. There may be an award for that category this year. AG and I are still working things out. :)

Thanks for letting me use your comment thread for my major announcement.
Trash talk awards are a great idea. And grasshopper had the idea to have like an office gambling pool for the winner. I think that's a great idea, too!
What is Vegas saying about our Bake-off, I wonder?

Maybe grasshopper can chair the blog office pool.

I think we need a special midterm bake-off for Res Publica, Blue Girl, and Grasshopper. It would have to be battle royale style. Trash talking would be 25% of the score.

Trash talk awards? With this crew you're looking at a pretty high level of competition and that's before we knew there was a contest. Let the taunting begin!

SEE!!!!
THAT"S WHAT I SAID!!!
ALL TALK AND NO COOKIE!!!!!
....seriously, BG, sorry to hear that we won't be competing head-to-head, even with our totally slacky, broken-ass cookie entry. Next year.
incidentally, Vegas odds are Mandos 10:1; Claire 15:1; Brando 12.5:1 and 7 to 2 that the whole thing devolves into an Internet Argument Shouting Match and the judges just keep the cookies all for themselves without any awards.

Sounds like a plan...

What are the odds that Jennifer ends up making an off-color cookie joke that crashes the internets?

Oh Kathleen... if only you knew how often I've bitten my tongue. Wait, can you do that on a blog? How often I've bitten my fingers...
