I love a sunburnt country. A land of sweeping plains. Of ragged mountain ranges. Of droughts and flooding rains.

The seasons are inter-twining
Does this happen in your area ?
Our supermarkets were closed on Monday and Tuesday Dec. 26th and 27th
as make-up holiday's for Christmas Day, when they reopened on Wednesday
28th they all featured “Hot Cross Buns” also known here as “Easter Buns.”
(but let’s not go there.)
Now I’ve not yet looked up the dates for Easter this year, but I’m pretty
certain it’s not in Jan. or Feb. so why the unholy, (no pun intended) rush to
get these into the stores ?
It was bad enough that the Christmas decorations/cards/music started in
Oct. but surely we don’t need to be inundated with the commercial side of
these two seasons for half of the year, (October to April, do the math,)
My other reason for sounding off about this is that I LOVE hot cross buns,
and my generous frame doesn’t need 3 or 4 months of supply of a known
fattening agent to help it out !!!
PS..... I've had a question which surprised me a little as to, what are
"Hot Cross Buns", these are a sweet yeast bun usually with mixed fruit,
they are glazed on top and have two thin beads of white dough laid accross
them in the form of a cross, they symbolize the crucifiction cross as a part
of the Easter story.
While I am very much against the “serious side” of political correctness,
I really appreciate the funny stuff that it generates, (how’s that for an
each way bet ?)

ha ha, I'm sometimes chemically inconvenienced! do you have valentines there? I went in the grocery store last night and it was packed with Valentines gifts and candy. But I can understand that, it's in February and gets here fast!
OK, OK, I did chuckle - a lot! ec
Funny! rear cleavage? mr. kenju had that today and I said "EWWWWW, pull up your pants!"
I actually laughed at this one, Petey Baby...from your sexually extroverted, pectorally superior friend, Jules
Great stuff Peter. I'm going to have to print and post this on the wall.
Oh yeah Peter, what are hot cross buns?
I absolutely loved the "pectorally Superior" for women and the "Sexually Focused" for men....this was hysterical :)
Wonder if they have paczki in Australia there. That's a fried jelly roll here in the U.S. Thankfully, they're mostly only sold on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday).
I'm so glad I had just finished swallowing oh my did I say that, well the tea before I scrolled into the joke section because those were good Peter. ;)
Good stuff, Peter. By dancing while drunk and falling down, I guess I would be politically correctly referred to as an "overly caucasion falling onto his liquid grain storage facility, ending up in accidentally horizontal and exposing both my follicle regression on my pate as well as my rear cleavage.
...All this time i thought i was simply "legless."
I hate being chemically inconvenienced, except for when I am. Then, it's really good. Thanks for offering.
I've heard of Hot Cross Buns, but have never seen one. Easter Buns? LOL
Must be PC. Rear cleavage is all over the place, especially when guys intentionally wear the pants low on their hips. I have to laugh because they look ridiculous.
Have a wonderful day!
1. He does not have a BEER GUT.

This one made me spew my water. Luckily I turned left and avoided the laptop. Now I have to go dry out the bills I was going to pay! ;)
All the holidays run together, one into the other.
It's a continual selling orgy for all the stores.

Well we seem to have clenched our buns onto that subject.
