Have a Cookie

where do the cookies come from?

here's an email I got that reminded me of them:

The following is the 2007 winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M
University calling for the most
appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year a definition is
required for the contemporary term,
'Political Correctness'.


The winner wrote:
Quote:
"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is
entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

I hate when you're just getting ready to click somewhere and you see a few words from a bottom cookie that looks interesting but...too late...you've already clicked past it.

Someone left the cookie in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
' cause it took so long to bake it
And I"ll never have that recipe againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Ohhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooo.

(As a Carol Leifer once said: It's just a CAKE, buddy.)

If you click the back button, the same one should still be there. It is for me, anyway.

Well poo...I made a bad assumption that it would not be.

I really need to pay more attention to the cookies; there are some doozies out there.

The cookies are a combination of many sources of short pithy quotes. Several fortune files and private collections were merged. Also it was form to say "cookie!" on the Cellar mk 2 whenever somebody said something cookie-like. There are 2508 cookies.

Due to this thread, I have improved on my original cookie code (it's faster now! But not perceptibly so) and will gladly accept new cookies (James, your cookie is #2509).

The difference between cake and cookie is that you can eat your cookie and have it too.
