Beware, friends, of the seriously over priced Neiman-Marcus cookies, so why not make your own? Take back your cookies and impress your guests this Thanksgiving. Wash it down with some PepsiBlue!

I think it's funny that the recipe linked is different from the actual one...

This is the single stupidest act I've seen in the history of metafilter. Congratulations, wheelie, this is fucking legendary. I'd email you to congratulate you, but I'm busy forwarding emails on behalf of Bill Gates, who is going to give me five cents for each one. Christ you're dumb.

I thought he was making fun of livejournal users for being so easily duped. But... no, I think you're right.

Can't talk long, though -- I have to go finish the writeup for my post about the green card lottery!

If you've never eaten a nieman marcus cookie while holding onto the dorsal fins of a Luck Dragon for dear life, you've not yet begun to live.

dont mess with the ritz bits, wheat thins, saltines and triscuits
matsos, and cheeze-its
catch sugar fits every time he see a nice pair of chips ahoy
double chocolate chunk
something with a bubble in the junk in the trunk
even the oreo no matter what the weather
always kept it dipped in milk and stuck together
in the game be shameless, even uses a code name fameous amos
cheaper than a short stay at the days in
and good like 25 cent oatmeal raisins
give it up to whoever invented the camera
neverminded the ginger bread men or the grandmas
shhh... make sure she dont wake from her dream
chill and get caught with a hand full of cream filled..
