Australia's Favourite Biscuit

First of all, what happened to all of us?

Secondly, Dennis, I need to buy a cheap SLR Digital camera for my wife, what would be a good one to get?

Thirdly, about 2 years ago, when Crowded House got back together, someone on one of the message boards said something about "...breaking out Champagne and Tim Tams" in celebration. On a whim, the old I.T. guy at my former employer and I investigated as to what a Tim Tam was. Turns out they are Australia's favourite biscuit (that's cookie to you and me,) and they taste like Mardi Gras in your mouth (and you don't even have to show your boobs!) Imagine a better-tasting Oreo with a chocolate center, dipped in chocolate. Ambrosia.

At the recent NAMM show in sunny Anaheim, California (which was off-the-chain in it's coolness!) my former Australian distributor (who used to surprise us for Christmas with CASES of Tim Tams,) brought me a pack of them as a surprise and I thought I was going to pass out in excitement. I soon realized that just one pack was not enough to satiate my crapulence.

Further investigation has revealed that Tim Tams -as of November '08- are being brought to the USA by the fine folks at Pepperidge Farms exclusively at Target. The day I found out I ran immediately and got 3 packs. That was 2 days ago. I now have 1/2 of the last one left. They don't have quite the zing that the Arnotts version from down-under has, but it is 98% there and it is spectacular.

Tip: Try the Tim Tam Slam. Bite off each end of the cookie and suck milk up through it, then eat the cookie. Amazing.

Rock the Tim Tam, Rock your world.

By the way, remember in Elementary school when there were really only TWO football teams and you LOVED either one or the other and there was no in-between? Remember when those two teams were the Cowboys and the Steelers? Always loved the Steelers for that reason only (I think if there were another reason it was that Chris Tuft loved the Cowboys and I hated him so intensely that I loved anything he hated.) Glad to see that the ONE football game a year I watch will include that element of my childhood. However, it will be without "Mean" Joe Green, and he will NOT be drinking a Coke, nor will he be throwing his game jersey to some eager Campbell Soup kid.........

"Wow, thanks Mean Joe!"
