Deep Fat Fried Friday Anyday!

Legend has it that the heroes of Butterknife Estates once acquired a deep fat fryer and spent evenings frying up whatever could be put into hot oil. That regular tradition has since fallen into ruin, but occasionally, that oil is heated once again to prepare such wonderful dishes as fried onions, potatoes, cheese, snickers and Twinkies.

While I have never prepared a Twinkie quite at good looking as the one pictured, they are quite tasty and rich. You too can participate in a deep fat fried Friday. Bring your random food items and we'll see to it they become a deep fried delicacy any day!

BkE Heroes in the News

Former Butterknife Estates bottom-dweller, Brandon "Coach" Forster recently made news in the Statesman for his ice-resurfacing skills.
Previous to this late-breaking scoop by the intrepid staff of the university publication, Forster had already been spotted at a hockey game driving the Zamboni by his former slum-lord, Thad Gillespie. "When he passed by the first time, I tried to yell at him to get his attention," Gillespie explained, "but I guess he didn't hear me, since the rest of the crowd was doing the same thing."

It was then that Gillespie was struck with the idea to place a phone call to Forster in hopes that he could explain the situation across cellular telephone. "I could tell it was working, because he reached into his pocket and pulled something out. I expected him to answer it, but he just put it back in in his pocket." Gillespie said, "but he did look up to the student section right away with a smile and a wave."

Forster was not worried that his secret Zamboni job has gone public. "It might mess up my driving a little if fans start chanting my name now, but I'll get used to it," Forster reported.

Cupolas Away!

The residents of Butterknife Estates, being Aggies, engineers and having a cupola on top of the garage, decided it was best to light it up with an A much like Old Main. Well, that's the plan anyway. It has been mentioned for a least a year now and it is high time, now that we have this blog, that we did something about it! Rope lights seem the way to go but we just need to find some, preferably in the not-online shopping area. That way we don't pay for shipping. The best deals are the 150 foot rolls but that seems a bit excessive. Only 11 feet is needed for one side of the cupola.

So help out today and save Thad from the raging disease, normalicy, the horror of living in a house with no peculiar landmark! We appreciate all donations toward the surround-sound-systemia research fund and the wiirryhea cure foundation (a condition wherein one suffers from poor hand-eye coordination and spoons inevitably end up in eyes). Your help can free Thad from these crippling disorders and so many others at Butterknife Estates.
