...carved by gummi artisans who work exclusively in the medium of gummi*
Dearest Headbang8,
While I truly appreciate your generous gift, what in the world am I going to do with 150 gummi smurfs? I don't think these are the kind you can make into gelato.
Love,
Jul

I bought some of these in France last month. I liked the "blue" flavor but it sorta leaves a strange taste in your mouth.

Drat! Marty beat me too it. I love that episode!
It is one of the best episodes ever! I even managed to work clips from it into a presentation on media manipulation when I was in college. :)
Kathybou, now you have me curious as to what blue tastes like. I might have to give them a try after all...
I like them, if you don't end up liking them, send them my way! ;)
Viviane - I'll let you know. :)
What are you "supposed to do" with them?
You are supposed to use the moment as a comic opportunity. You are supposed to rail against the cruelty and injustice of eating these innocent creatures, as you had before. You are supposed to refuse to kiss Scott after he eats one, on the grounds of Meat Breath. You are supposed to deftly include a joke about Frukputer.
At least they are free range Smurfs. Which reminds me of my cousin and her op-shop fur coat. She maintains the mink died of a heart attack.
Thank goodness they are free-range. I've heard such heartbreaking stories about smurf mills.
Hello! In honor of this, I wanted to post a photo of me from this past Halloween, but, alas, I am unable. So I will just have to say: I dressed as Smurfette - blue face paint, blonde wig...
Rachel - would love to see it. I bet you looked smurfy. :)
Hey Jul-I dedicated my post to you today in keeping with the Smurf theme... :)
Tell me, did you enjoy the Smurg testicles that Masa and I brought you?
Mmmm mmmm mmm. They were juicy.
