This is a callout post. Goshling and jonathanstrange sent me a care package of Australian junk food as a pick-me-up for all the bad luck my family and friends have had lately. Dear ladies, I thank you, my wife thanks you, and my doughy midsection thanks you. You are indeed teh awesome. But I'm afraid that Cherry Ripe is horrifying and I can never forgive you for alerting me to its existence.

Oh my goodness who do I have to sleep with to get some motherfucking TIM TAMS up in here?
I hope they included tim tams. They might not truly be your friends if they didn't.
(Yay I am glad you are cheered up, MCT)

Yes! There were Tim Tams! I have not yet done the fabled slam, though I'm pretty sure that'll be lunch tomorrow.

I have never tried them please do one for me

Having googled Tim Tams and Cherry Ripe, I now hate you all.

I'm sure we can be persuaded to supply other needy folks with delightful treats. Email your postal addresses & requests to goshling@gmail.com and we'll see what we can do.

I promise again to never send anything via seamail. There are still packages in transit to middleclasstool, mlis & gaspode that I posted a couple of months ago. The shipping container probably slipped off the ship, got washed up on an uninhabited tropical island, broke apart & now seagulls are feasting upon tim tams.

I just did the Tim Tam Slam with my morning coffee.

You people are geniuses.

If all the dangerous animals weren't keeping the population down we'd be taking over the earth with our brilliance!

Ah, the Tim Tam Slam. Haven't done one in a while, and I'm out of touch with my former suppliers. So happy to have new contacts!

There's been a recent influx of Tim Tams in Vancouver; whether these are imported Australian goods, a knockoff, or a sanctioned local supplier is unclear but I guess the only way to find out is to buy a pack and post photos.

How can you not love cherry ripes? Actually, I hated them as a kid and then out of the blue one day I was all OMG! WANT! And it's been true love ever since.

Gosh and I ended up having to hang out several times to get these done, and we still kept running out of time! It meant having to see lots of gosh, though, so it was all good!

Glad you liked!
