Laura - 2005-02-07 22:46:53 i don't think i'll have any, thanks, since i'm not planning on fasting for lent, so it isn't really appropriate. Somehow the image of the son of god wandering off into the wilderness with prune filling dribbling down his chin just doesn't quite do it for me. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-07 23:39:57I'm not doing anything for Lent, God knows, but I'll take any paczki I can get, seeing as how secular humanists have, inexplicably, no holidays at all, never mind those devoted to pastries.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-07 23:42:39 I guess the secular humanist equivalent to paczki would be hardtack. Uphill battle to construct a holiday around that. "Hardtack Day"? I don't think so. I make my compromises and I live with them.* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2005-02-07 23:43:17 amen, then. just don't let me catch you munching on transubstantiated hosts.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-07 23:50:38 That's the advantage of hardtack. It cannot be transubstantiated, much less digested. It is what it is, a floury reminder to us all to stick to the facts and look Creation straight in the eye and judge for ourselves. Plus it's good with pemmican. * * * * * * * * * * * * Scott - 2005-02-08 05:48:04 Theres not even a bakery down here, as far as I can see. Be glad you have choices, and also, wouldnt the son of god have fig filling? * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 09:28:05 I can't speak for Jesus's paczki.* * * * * * * * * * * * Anna - 2005-02-08 09:28:33 You know, I've NEVER had Paczi (Paczik plural?)! They sound delicious. Yum. Makes my key lime yogurt lunch seem really dull.* * * * * * * * * * * * Anna - 2005-02-08 09:29:21 Oops... Paczki. Paczkik?* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 09:32:37 Anna: It's allowed to spell it however you like, so no worries. The way I remember it is Pac like Pac-man, then z since the last shall be first, then ki. Paczki *are* delicious. I'm still holding out for a raspberry.* * * * * * * * * * * * Anna - 2005-02-08 10:05:26 Are jelly donuts bastardized Paczki?* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 10:08:35 They are. Though they're sensitive to the term "bastardized," and prefer "inspired by." * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 10:19:20 Update: As predicted by some paczki Nostradamus last night, no fewer than three heavy bozes of paczki have materialized in the breakroom. Ypsidixit is waiting for the crowds to die down.* * * * * * * * * * * * LF - 2005-02-08 10:21:47 Oh man, someone in my office brought in 2 dozen today. I was hoping for a custard but got a raspberry, which was pretty durn good too. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 10:28:10 Oddly enough I was hoping for raspberry but got a custard, which I actually like just as well. 2 dozen--good heavens.* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2005-02-08 10:54:16 (ebay seller sitting alone at home in front of computer, weeping, because he has no coworkers to bring him something to clog his already faulty arteries)(sniffle). Scott- good point on the fig filling. I went with prune because i read it was the original. Someone should consult the several hundred hebrew dietary laws and try to figure out what it would have been for sure. (And thou may have no Paczki filled with creeping things, nor with things which crawl on their bellies, nor shellfish, nor bats, etc.) * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 11:01:03(roughly but affectionately) Get ahold of yourself, young man, and do a search to see if there's a paczki on ebay. You can have it FedExed right into your mouth. I'll be spending my lunch hour checking the dietary laws just out of sheer curiosity to try and figure out what filling Jesus's paczki would have had--thanks a lot, Brett. * * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2005-02-08 11:03:27 My carnivorous valediction took place decades ago. Huzzah Carnival! I get short shrift every Tuesday. If firearms threatened me or for an offer of $50 I might eat a packzi. Otherwise I'll have a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. "Long live watery broth and the straight jacket!"* * * * * * * * * * * * Eric * - 2005-02-08 11:05:19 Folks in Hamtown pronounce Paczki -"pownch-key." Somewhere GWBush is snickering. * * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2005-02-08 11:24:21 nope. i just did an ebay search and there is not one match for paczki. I had hoped someone at least had an old one with a virgin mary image on it, or something. No dice. Good luck on the jesus paczki. Maybe somebody found a fossilized, half-eaten one in a clay pot next to the dead sea scrolls or something. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 11:29:28Well, probably there's no match because the word is almost impossible to spell correctly, plus I've seen variants (paczi, packzi, pockzi, punchkey, packkzi, punchkzi, pinchkey, poochiekzie, pennschkzhie, schmoonchkie, oonchkiepay)--you might want to try those.* * * * * * * * * * * * Dan Arbor - 2005-02-08 11:37:47 Laura - I am sad to say that I have just witnessed another identifiable type pf paczki consumer: THE PREDATOR: Victorious in demeanor, The Predator proceeds to attack the poor paczki after a brief grin of anticipation. Stuffing as much of the paczki into his mouth as possible, he chomps down and I swear I can hear the paczki scream. There are muffled slurping noises as he vacuums up the custard spillage from the structural damage caused by the first savage bites, and he moans softly in accompaniment to the somewhat labored mastication (due to volume within mouth). He sighs as the first milligrams of glucose and fat slip into his bloodstream, and proceeds to erase the remaining paczki in just two more bites. Powdered sugar covers his face as he licks wayward blobs of custard filling from the napkin. The Predator gulps coffee, wipes his face with napkin (ineffective), and lopes off to break room in search of seconds. Elapsed time: under one minute. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 11:47:12(laughs) Hilarious! And well-written as usual. Indeed, this is a type I overlooked, perhaps on purpose. When Paczki Scream--isn't that the new John Grisham novel? The sharp-eyed Ypsidixit detects the lack of a wedding ring on this Type's porky left hand. Surprisingly. Who wouldn't want to gaze adoringly into a noisy maw of roiling, surging custard every day? Lots of mysteries in life.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 12:46:41 Ypsidixit has whittled down the list of the 120 plants that are mentioned in the Bible to the likely suspects for Jesus's paczki: almond, apple, carob, fig, grape, melon, mint, pistachio, pomegranate, sorghum, and walnut. There's also the plant known as "dove's dung." And I hadn't known that the Bible includes--tumbleweeds.* * * * * * * * * * * * tumbleweed - 2005-02-08 13:06:19 eat me.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 13:12:58 Ah, how nice! A visit from Ypsidixit's resident tumbleweed. I have a new respect for tumbleweeds, since I hadn't known they were in the Holy Book and all. Psalm 83:13: "Make them like tumble-weed, O my God, like chaff before the wind."* * * * * * * * * * * * lynne - 2005-02-08 14:32:49 Alas, no paczki for me today. boo hoo. I might stop by Dom's after work though and see if they have any left. I wish I had gotten up just 10 minutes earlier so I could have stopped at Terry Bakery because you know theirs are the best anyways. *sigh** * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 14:37:26 I'm sure they'll have some Lynne. Well, maybe. Isn't it illegal to sell them after midnight tonight? Maybe they burn the leftovers in a pyre. When they're building the paczki pyre, that's when you can sneak in and grab some.* * * * * * * * * * * * Luke - 2005-02-08 15:21:08 A guy at work went down to Hamtramick and got read ones and I thought i'd died and gone to heaven.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 15:23:04 Yum. Sounds wonderful. I'm on my second one right now, in fact.* * * * * * * * * * * * LF - 2005-02-08 17:00:24 Hey Dan, what do you call a paczki eater who winds up with their eyes glazed over, passed out at their desk?* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 17:08:08 "eyes glazed over?" (snort)!* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 17:11:25 um, (guessing) a casualty of custard's last stand?* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 17:13:55 ah, (guessing again) sucrose, and yet so far?* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 17:25:26 hmmmmmm (guessing yet again) a crumb-bum?* * * * * * * * * * * * Scott - 2005-02-08 18:18:01 One of the funniest posts ever!* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 18:25:50 Now now, let's not get too saccharine. :)* * * * * * * * * * * * LF - 2005-02-08 18:39:34 "sucrose, and yet so far?" Another gem from the master * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 19:06:39 (blushes prettily)* * * * * * * * * * * * Dan Arbor - 2005-02-08 22:02:59 Wow. I missed all the fun. Laura, way to riff! * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-08 22:44:55Ypsidixit is grateful for such kind comments, which certainly sweetener day.* * * * * * * * * * * * Dan Arbor - 2005-02-08 23:13:22 Hope this doesn't come off as treacle, but that was a honey of a post! And after all the sweet paczki jokes, it was really the icing on the cake. * * * * * * * * * * * * Millions of Dead Paczkis - 2005-02-09 08:40:35John Wayne was a paczki . He liked to make a mess. He'd drip slimy custard, all over his cowboy vest. Sure he would fatten your belly, sure he would fatten your ass, sure he would march you up to the wall, sure he'd get hard as a baseball. He was a paczki, but not anymore, he was a paczki, life evened the score. He was a paczki.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-09 09:28:09 homepage of 47-year-old David Dictor, currently an educator of developmentally disabled students in NYC.
