ACT(W) for April 14, 2008

Friend, I wager either you've forgotten what the ACT(W) is or you've never heard of it. Refer back to the post about a penguin from Hello Kitty. Yes that actually happened, it's not even archived yet!


(It stands for Arbitrarily Chosen Thing of the Week).


And for the second time ever, an ACT(W) will now be unleashed on at least 7 or 8 people:


CHRIS & LARRY'S™ CLODHOPPERS®!!!
















It is not a joke. Looks and sounds like one, but how much effort do you think really goes into this post? It took longer to write these last few sentences than it did to cut that off the official page. Which happens to be clodhoppers.tv, (just skip to http://www.clodhoppers.tv/about.html).

There's nothing to compare this stuff to. Truly. But surely, say you, surely these guys didn't just invent a never before seen junk food. Not after all these years. Everything's old hat, everything's borrowed. Well what if I told you it was Grandma's own specialty? Different story, eh? (the eh ties in, wait for it) Every Grandma has some recipe enitrely her own.

Turns out Grandma Emery's (possibly not her last name, but it's 50/50 I think) featured clusters of graham cracker bits and fudge. And she called them Clodhoppers. And now, year 2008, I bought some while waiting in line at Blockbuster.


Good news/bad news though. Good: Immediate and hopeless addiction was unleashed upon all who tasted from that bag. Bad: These things barely exist outside of Canada (where they're born. another obligatory "eh"). Blockbuster seems to be the only outpost round here.

Fortunately, said website offers online ordering. Guess who's going to order a 24 bag case?
