The Focus on Pastry

If the Pastry manufacturer is willing and game enough, perhaps he could give us all a little insight into how me manages to butter his bread. The questions have been formulated scientifically to ignite the most revealing response mechanism from the one, simply referred to as; Patrick.

Particle Accelerator, please could you ensure your writing is correct, and your answers are clear and precise to the best of your ability. (Points may be deducted if bogus comments are passed as truth. Yes, there are even doubts here.

Prepare yourself, prepare all of yourselves.

Question that is question number 3:

Could you please explain the meaning of the more popular P term 'almost every film is flawed', and describe why you perceive this to be detrimental to the viewing process.

Questions for 2: There is a certain, uniquely brilliant book which I return to. It offers me comfort, hope and fills my world with beauty and depth. Name it:

This Question refers to no. 1: Like the rather tiresome Mr. James Randi, I too am an outspoken sceptic. Occasionally though, I find myself longing for answers to some of the world's more potent questions. Why we are here, the invention of the postage stamp, precisely why Michael Bolton exists etc. - As a result, I now concede that I do now believe that ... :

4, We're on 4 now: At which point in the history of the Pastry, and buxted chicken, did P suddenly realise that his actions would circle back and affect the future. A two pronged question. After this discovery, did the mind retract from knee-jerk reactionary type statements like 'put that down':

Q 8: Although I enjoy living the high-life in DC, I often day dream I lived: a) In a colder temperament b) Vegas c) Somewhere romantic like Italy (resplendent with a more genuine pizza experience)

Qs. 5: Although I could never admit this, I really wouldn't mind being able to sample one of them pasties from the UK:

Questions relating to the figure 6: My IQ level is desirable, however, I feel my running skills have been neglected of late. Accordingly, how much freedom do you feel when swimming in the baths (you can indicate a percentage if you feel this will attract higher marks):

Are we on Question 9 yet?: It is drawing ever closer to 7.30pm and a decision must be made. Do I: a) Loosen the belt, slip into my favourite chair and run with my favourite movie* consuming a cacophony of snacks and beverages

b) Call that old pal up and hit the local for beers

c) Celebrate the evening at DC's finest restaurant with the closest companion, eating shrimps, sipping vintage shandy and later savouring the very fact you are both so happy with everything (except the shrimps, which were later identified as 'on the turn')

d) Head deep into the city with a wad of notes, searching for easy women and a cluster of japes

e) Concede that it would be easier to enjoy the MTV Awards with a bucket of popping corn

10 bells: Although I have achieved 'x', it would be nice to be able to complete 'x', which would fulfil my dreams. Describe 'x':

That concludes the questions.

Dear me, H, that's quite a mouthful of pastry you've baked up there in your little oven.

Answer to question 8: Given these three choices, Vegas.

Answer to question 9: (a). (Probably FOTR, but I've been watching Get Over It! a lot lately.)

Answer to question 1: I do now believe that: it's time for a nap.

Answer to question 2: The Sacred Fount.

Answer to question 3:

Part 1: good bits and bad bits.

Part 2: not enough chapter breaks on the DVD.

Answer to question 4: 1996.

Answer to question 5: sure.

Answer to question 6: I don't swim.

Answer to question 10: beats me.

Did I skip any?

Additional answer to question 6: pain in my right foot.

Some solid answers there P. Its tempting to venture to the library to loan 'The Sacred Fount', or possibly order from the Amazon lady after such positive support. A surprising retort that Vegas is preferable to Italy, although I suspect that Italy may be too far from the homestead and thus, not within jogging reach of familiar comforts.

The foot excuse will not stand if teacher decides to probe for a doctors note, and for your own sake, it is worth learning to swim; do you not consider jellyfish a possible future threat on dry land?

When all said and done its looking like '96 was a powerful turning point, which possibly led on to your fondness of vegetable bean soup and soft white bread. Was unable to decipher what FOTR meant (I did try) and I don't recall seeing a film entitles 'Go Run For it' - keen to hear any more details if they come as highly recommended as 'The Magical Fondant'.

A lightly disappointed that certain questions did not provoke more elaborate responses, but all in all not a bad show. I'd say we're all about 2/3% more informed. + or - 1%.

Well played.

I've never been to Italy, H, but I would have some concern about a country where the language is not the one I speak. Florida or California would have been preferred over Vegas, but they weren't on the list.

Don't misunderstand me about The Sacred Fount; I didn't say I was recommending it. I said it was important to me. It is obscure in every sense of the word. Far more mysterious and baffling than Donnie Dayglow. Speaking of which, I watched (or listened to) part of the director's commentary last night. Is it really possible to know from watching just the movie that Frank is Donnie's sister's boyfriend?

I thought I had explained FOTR before: Fellowship Of The Ring. I'm not surprised you're not familiar with Get Over It! It's another Ben Foster movie; a semi-musical that also features Kirsten Dunst, Martin Short, Colin Hanks, Shane West, and Sisqo.

I'm glad my answers were somewhat satisfactory, H.

We too watched a little of the cast discussing Bobby Darkwind and it seemed suspicious that some elements appeared to be getting applied 'on the hoof', rather than a premeditated script. Quite frankly I didn't enough no Kenny had a sister and even though you have just mentioned she had a boyfriend who was Larry? - All I know is that a metal rabbits head was used to add a certain mystique to certain scenes which was a rise above the usual dollop we sometimes sit throughout.

Of course if I was to be more sensible I would add to your comment that yes, it seems a bit much to expect the guests to have fathomed certain, seemingly crucial elements of the story line. But in a way this does make the pieces more intriguing upone reflection.

Quite how Draw Barrymonkey managed to put such a cohesive film together in the first place without resorting to her former husband the established comedian is anyone's guess.

FOTRings, ah yes, excuse my ignorance is bliss. I've still not heard of that bobby dazzler semi-musical but now you have added that it has some singing and dancing I'll definitely remember to cross it off our new BlockBunter list.

You know, I'm starting to think my spellchecker hasn't been working for over a day.

Well, I plan to experience the rest of the DD commentary, which will undoubtedly inspire further reactions.
