is that lunar wane shaft dingle-armed again?

Oh my goodness indeed.  I was looking though some old emails last night and found this video.  Now Rockwell Automation is a serious company-- well, maybe not THAT serious considering they made this. I've  been out of the business long enough that I didn't realize this was a joke at first, I thought it was just plain funny.  They're one of the companies that owned the company I worked for at the time of-- one of our 5(?) founding companies, known to us as Founders.  The gent that was one of our main contacts there and who just confirmed this IS a joke was my sailing mentor.

I feel very... 2 today

Today is 2 days before 2 day, 2/2.  (Looking forward to Sept. 9th of this year)  There oughta be a name for that, like... the "golden day" of each month.  Or "redundancy day redundancy day."

OH MY GOODNESS

Now I have some obscene nicknames for deserts I like, such as calling gelato "sex in a cup", but without a doubt this IS "the winning ticket to heaven". Or "party in your mouth". Or "Uh oh, am I dead?" As far as ranking deserts, I would give strawberry milkshakes a 100%, gelato a 200%, and THIS a ((100 raised to the 100) times (1 followed by infinite zeros)) to the power of infinity %. Oh. My. Goodness.

Baked Apple Bundles

2 granny smith apples
2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls
2 cups water

Cinnamon

Cut apples into eighths and peel. Wrap each apple in dough for one crescent roll, covering apple completely.
Put apple bundles in greased 9x13" pan.
Heat water in saucepan with sugar/Splenda and butter/margarine until boiling and butter is melted. Add 1 T. cinnamon. Stir to mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and pour over apple bundles. Sprinkle tops of apple bundles with cinnamon.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, until rolls are lightly browned. Serve warm, drizzling extra syrup on top of bundles. Makes 8 servings.
