*facepalm* I just read "drought-hurt farmers" as "doughnut farmers". Then I spent a moment picturing the vast doughnut fields of the Midwest stretching as far as the eye could see, a patchwork of alternating glazed, cake, and jam-filled breakfast treats. Then I realized that I haven't had lunch yet, and all became clear.

So crullers must be free-range? ;-)

[geekchick]

They've never really been on my radar, so I shall bow to your superior knowledge of cruller-farming methods. ;)

[just-the-ash.livejournal.com]

They're kind of like poultry. Certainly you've heard the expression "with flying crullers"?

[malefica-v.livejournal.com]

Oh! True cruller-blind posting!

I'm suddenly seized with the idea of trying to convince my brother that doughnuts and bagels are grown as separate crops.

[geekchick]

Oh, certainly! Bagels are much more cold-tolerant than the delicate doughnut crops. Different growing seasons.

[homer] Ooo...doughnuts! [/homer]

I love the visuals of vast Midwestern doughnut fields. :)

"It’s a long John, it’s long gone,/ Like the turkey and the corn..."

OK, I think I'm done hijacking this post...

That explains the song!

"O beautiful for spacious skies /
for amber waves of glazed."

Though amber glaze could easily be vanilla, which is suspect. If you're going to bother glazing a donut it should be chocolate all the way. ;)

What does it say about me that I, also, read it the way you did?

*sigh*

Now I want a donut!

OMG you just nearly made me choke on my burger. what a wonderful image. (er, the doughnut farms, not me choking, obviously.)

[malefica-v.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you've visited Flyover Territory before? Our secret is out!

[ilovemyman70.livejournal.com]

You make me giggle

hey there...

[happypete.livejournal.com]

read your twitter about Arisia. sneephle? what's up?

if transportation is issue, contact flyingwolf. [If you don't already know her, you should!] She vends, is therefore driving, and can create a seat for a ride-sharer.

Hey, I may live in the country, but I work 5x/week in Oakton. Lunch sometime?

Regarding jobbishness...not eligible to apply for clearance? again, sneephle...

Re: hey there...

[geekchick]

Transportation's not a problem, we were planning to drive up. We may still go, it's just that something unexpectedly came up at the end of last week that may make it imprudent to go. Thanks for the pointers though. =)

Re: lunch, I might take you up on that, except that I happen to work out in Warrenton. =)

Re: the clearance, eligible, but not interested in working in the sort of environment that requires clearances if it's possible to avoid. (It's not for me, although honestly I'm not all that keen on going back to gummint work myself. =) )

Ah...

[happypete.livejournal.com]

Understood on all three.

Well, if you decide you want to consider career options in the Federal space, after all, let me know.

Ok that made me laugh out loud for several minutes trying to picture farmers tending to their fields of doughnuts. Thank you for that :)
