I'd planned on posting something with actual writing today for a change, but at some point this afternoon my immune system pulled a full out assault on my nasal passages and took no prisoners. I'm not sure if it was allergies or a cold but I washed down some Benadryl with a glass of wine and my body capitulated. I've been struggling to stay awake ever since and judging by the looks I've been receiving, my temper may be on a very short fuse. So once again I'll fall back on some food art.
Sure I could have written something profound or titillating but where would your day be without having stopped by to see a decapitated pancake man?
Up here in Canada we bottle their blood and export it as "maple syrup" to an unsuspecting world that believes it comes from a tree. Fools. You know why your Aunt Jemima is made of sodium hexametaphosphate and high fructose corn syrup? 'Cause we bled her dry, that's why. It's always the quiet neighbour, right? We're the quiet NATION!
Whoa! Sorry. Must be the medication and Halloween candy talking. Maybe I ought to call it a day.
Before I go though, I want to tell you that Middle Aged Woman from Unmitigated and I will be doing a book review of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies next week over on He Read/She Read. Right now there's a review up by MAW's husband Jim Styro and Rebekah from Waffles Waffles All Day Long. Check it out if you've never been there. I finished writing mine today and it's, well, special.

You are crazy! That's the first time I've ever seen a pancake man,mch less a decapitated one!
ReplyDeleteYou should drink wine and benadryl more often, that was funny.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better
Real Maple Syrup tastes like the souls of orphans. In other words... Delicious!!
ReplyDeleteAnother cherished childhood myth EXPLODED...bastard...now gimme some of that blood, er SYRUP hehheh..
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna register a complaint with the RSPCPM to report the cruel and needless killing of a pancake man.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was gonna say something about you guys having awesome maple syrup but you clearly beat me to it. Then again, Vermont does a pretty good job too but who knows if they're sneaking it from across the border.. :)
ReplyDeleteFeel better.
LOL at Irish Gumbo and mo.stoneskin's comments! I agree with Vodka Logic, drink wine with benadryl more often!
ReplyDeleteI always suspected that something nefarious was going on up there.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I never did believe that lame story about syrup coming from trees. Bunch of sucka's.
ReplyDeleteWe had pancakes with old Aunty Jemima last night - at least the kids did. As I rule I don't eat pancakes (must be the suspisious taste of the blood syrup from Cananda). I knew there was something wrong with all of you...
ReplyDeleteFeel better and remember mixing wine and meds? Probably not such an awesome idea though I bet you'd get some goodd blog fodder for the future.
now i'm hungry for pankakes AND decapitation.
ReplyDeleteI do love me some maple syrup! I also love pancakes. However, I don't care for being sick. Hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! It's always the quiet neighbor. And they're thinking about building a second bridge to Canada here in Detroit.
ReplyDeleteLove the food art.
Love the decapitated pancake man!!!
ReplyDeleteBut WHY did you let out the Canadian secret about Maple syrup?! That's a national crime :)
I knew there was something evil going on in Canada.
ReplyDeleteI always suspected as much re: the maple syrup, and that you're really a nation of serial killers.
ReplyDeleteWhat CAN'T you mold into the shape of a man?
ReplyDeleteIt's like cannibalism training camp up there, huh? That's good, get em used to the idea. They'll be ready by the time zombie apocalypse arrives. You're always thinking ahead.
"We're the quiet NATION."
ReplyDeleteI've locked that into my brain so that I might blame Canada for various future problems.
So thats what happened to all the pancake men...ah ha!
ReplyDelete;)
Hahaha, that is awesome! And I want to read that book too!
ReplyDeleteSeems there is a sinus infection running around the internet. Please don't sneeze on me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am all about the realmaple syrup. I could pay tuition for what it costs over here, but it is the only way to go.
I love "the quiet nation." That's probably the funniest thing I'll read all day.
ReplyDeleteMaple syrup from Stupidstore. Doubley evil.
ReplyDeleteCrime scene photos. Easy to destroy the evidence. Yum.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the butter??? You can't have pancakes without loads of butter. I'm very disappointed in you.
ReplyDeleteLOL I love that pancake man, soooo funny! Great great great post.

Get better soon. Maple syrupmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThis is why I like the Captain… he can decapitate the heads off of ginger-bread-man shaped pancakes and use Canadian Maple Syrup for blood.
ReplyDeleteSo clever of you!
Food art rocks and so does benadryl and a glass of wine!
ReplyDeleteYou're making me hungry for little pancake guys. Wait...12:33 ahhh
ReplyDeleteOut.
Poor little pancake man. Hope you're not teaching your boys how to decapitate these poor little creatures?
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon.
OMFG! I always suspected as much. I mean, I've been "somewhat" vocal about my suspicions about Canada and all....quiet, keeps to themselves, never really gets into trouble....seriously. You guys got damn bodies under the stairs!
ReplyDeleteI KNEW IT!
canada. where good pancake men go to die.
ReplyDeleteI Would have been much more comfortable with an earless Mickey Mouse or something. . .
ReplyDeleteBenadryl,and wine are ok together, put the pancakes can make you sleepy.
ReplyDeleteSecretia
Pancakes and Benadryl and wine are a recipe for a major conk out. I love the headless little guy.
ReplyDeleteI need to read that book!
ooo .. I love decapitated pancake men! I vant to drink their blood ... hm, would that make me a pancake vampire?
ReplyDeleteI love benadryl, decapitated pancake men and their blood. Sweeet.
ReplyDeleteI love the mutilated pancake man!!! You rock!
ReplyDeleteNow why didn't I think about washing my Benadryl down with wine? I'm so going to try that later today. Probably not a good idea at this hour of the morning. Or is it?
ReplyDeleteI think I might have to make some pancake men this morning and chop their heads off...might make me feel better. And I checked - I do have Canadian Maple Syrup, so I'm all set! :)
Hope you feel better soon!
I knew there was something fishy about that Aunt Jemima. You Canadians are whack.
ReplyDeleteyou know just a lil booze and you can't keep a canadian quiet
ReplyDeleteout telling all the national secrets
My wife told me to read you. Dude, you are freaking hilarious.
ReplyDeleteStop telling them our national secrets, please. Or we'll cut you off from your Benadryl.
ReplyDeleteBeheaded Pancake Man would make an awesome band name.
