Eight percent officially unemployed in US. Reality is more like 14 percent. War in Afghanistan. Black teen gangs roam big cities attacking white individuals, elders and retail businesses. Civilians being shot dead on city streets with little to no interest from citizens or politicians. Economy sputtering. Institutions under attack by journalists, religions, and Communists. But all is well in Harvard Square where a new business may open soon. It will deliver hot cookies between 6 PM and 3 AM. So many highly educated humans with no microwaves and no ovens. Do they not know how to cook? How sad.
Menckenlite said (sarcastically):
Are you sure this is not a hoax, being really an online delivery-by-browser-cookie-service? Maybe he is starting to charge for what others provide for free.
H'13 said (Missing the sarcasm) :
insomnia is a company with stores across the country.
Menckenlite said (sarcastically):
That is what this article says. Have you more evidence than that?
Bored Reader said (missing the sarcasm) :
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE START A FLAME WAR OVER THIS
Menckenlite said (lightheartedly, since sarcasm got no response):
Maybe they mis-underestimated what was being propositioned. Russians pronounce them, "Cookyes." Is that what is coming to Harvard Square, hamentashen? Are you suggesting Valerie Flame is working again?A Flame War?
Guest said (missing it all):
I've eaten cookies from the insomnia at Penn...they are delicious and real
Greta said (picking up on it):
The real conspiracy is that they are microwaved Pepperidge Farm cookies. Conventional ovens quite simply do not get hot enough to melt steel or chocolate!! Click my screen name to learn history's simplest proof of the Pythagorean theorem!
Menckenlite said (having fun):
Do you mean the sum of the square-sided Flame-broiled cookyes is equal to the calories in the hyped up Insomnia cookyes? How can that be?
Greta said (responding in kind):
Free advertising disgusied as news? You're treading dangerously close to tin foil cookie sheet hat territory, pal!
Menckenlite said (summing up):
Thanks to gentle Greta for reminding about tin foil cookie sheet hat territory. Fortunate to have someone familiar with the area. The Chairman of the Cambridge Cookie Consumer's Coalition, a diverse, progressive and inclusive non profit, in the interests of transparency, inquiries regarding the late night warm cookies' support for same sex marriage, affirmative action, taking back the night, and immigrants' rights. As an editorial in the Boston Phoenix asked about a Boston business petitioner, "Why do these cookies want to come to Harvard Square?" Recognizing the compelling need for late night warm cookies, this food purveyor nonetheless must be screened by the Cambridge City Council's Civic Unity Committee. Without assurances of all of the above-mentioned obligatory positions, Cambridge and especially the sensitive Harvard Square business community may not be an appropriate venue for this baker's delight, nutritious and desperately needed resource. No permits should be issued by the License Commission, or by the Public Health Department for the City unless and until these common sense priorities are met.
