Bun Warmer

Well, thanks again to all you who tossed more *hits* on that meter. It came up quicker than I thought it would, as a result. I even got assists from Guyk (Charming, Just Charming) and Walrilla. Walrilla just passed HIS 5000 a few days ago - my brother in booboos and hits. Thanks, guys!

The irrepressible Miss LL of Chromed Curses was runner-up at #4999. She could have clicked again for the big prize. But, as an honorable woman of the highest standards, she refrained. To reward such exemplary behavior, and because I just adore her Question Fridays, she gets a runner-up prize: Ask me a question, LL, any question, and I'll answer it for you.

#5000, ab5sy of Amazing Facts, came over by way of Guyk. Now, Guyk had told him there was a prize for #5000 - a fur-lined crapper. Or maybe just the contents. Of course it was ALL contents cause it was just another Guyk shaggy poooodle story. I mean, this is South FLORIDA. Fur linings are in short supply. Even should we find a fur, no sensible furry thing wears it thick enough to do any good, not down here!

But see, ab5sy is out in Oklahoma City. Where it does get cold. And having suffered through not one not two but three record-breaking cold and snow winters in Chicagoland in the late 1970's, I have feelings about cold that aren't actually publishable - even here in the 'sphere. I feel his pain.

So since I can't supply any fur lined crappers, I offered contents: a story of his choice.

He chose to request a photo of a bun warmer. This is very sensible! And a good workable substitute for that fur-lined crapper.

I hope Vermont Country Store doesn't mind that I swiped their photo, since I couldn't come up with one of my own. Say! I'll throw in some advertising, gratis. If you'd like to actually OWN one of these fine bun warmers, go clicky here and you can buy one.

I know it probably can't heat up the whole crapper. But it sure makes sense to me to want those buns nice and warm while you're in there. By the time you're ready to leave the *outbox,* your buns will ready! Just in time for you to nuke your hot dog, put together your lunch and feed it into the *inbox.* See? It's all part of the circle of life, just like they say.

Enjoy, ab5sy! And - thank you. Y'all come back now, hear?
