Our Anniversary Spectacular!

Holy hollow hulls of Hungry Jack! This past June 15th was When Waffle Matter’s second anniversary! “This calls for a celebration!” declared Lenny. “I always cheer up whenever I see syrup.” To commemorate two delectable years on the Internets Lenny had the urge to splurge. Invitations were printed, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and mailed out. Alas, only three Karo cronies confirmed causing quite a crunchy waffle kerfuffle. No matter: Lenny was determined to party like it’s 1965! Declining the invitation were the CEOs of Pillsbury, Hamilton Beach, Mrs. Butterworth’s, The Food Network, Proctor-Silex, and some low-level supervisor in Kellogg’s Eggo Division. Belgium’s Ambassador to the United States did not return any of Lenny’s twenty-three collect telephone calls. Gosh, so who showed? Marcello Presac was in attendance, dapper in a smart smock woven from an old, not nearly so smart smock he once owned. Teresa was lovely in a prêt-à-porter porter’s outfit (her butler costume regrettably at the cleaners), and the never-once-incarcerated Les Lutins, wearing a business suit and a leather apron. Didn’t get an invitation? Worry not! Lenny got the festivities down on tape, from start to finish. Whipping out the Wollensak Lenny fastidiously threaded up a reel of Scotch 111 audio tape and hit ‘record – play’ before the capstan could pinch the roller. We’ve posted the party in its entirety (below) for your listening pleasure so a doughy download is in your future. Golly, it’s a good thing the party didn’t last longer than 53 minutes and 17 seconds because at 3 ¾ IPS, a reel of Scotch 111 will only record for 53 minutes and 17 seconds! Note that you must pre-heat your headphones to 325 degrees prior to enjoying these waffles. It’s a headphone/earbud show to be sure! From central Kansas to Stockholm, we appreciate all of you syrup swallowers who download and subscribe to the podcast. And whoever the hell you are in China: Assuming you can read English, thanks for the MSG while we supply the MP3! Buttermilked, beguiled and bewildered? So are we. Better e-mail Lenny at whenwafflesmatter@gmail.com so we can suffer together. Lenny kneads to hear from you. You may also post a message at the CONTACT US tab above. Have at it. Okay, so you weren’t at WWM’s big 2nd anniversary party. Close your eyes and play the episode. A spatula time is guaranteed for all.
