[The B. is for Bork!]

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i...jEehQD913GKVG1

Indiana University police say brownies a girl gave to dorm workers
didn't contain marijuana at all. The leafy substance mixed in was
lavender.

IU Police Capt. Jerry Minger said the 13-year-old girl came forward
after the case was publicized to let officers know the brownies
were safe.

The fudge was given to workers at IU's Eigenmann Hall on May 23 and
police were called after one of the employees took a bite and
noticed a green, leafy substance inside.

The girl gave some of the lavender to police for a field test, and
Minger said it registered a "weak reaction" on a test for
marijuana.

The girl made the fudge for a school project, in which she had to
make a Swedish food.

OK, time for an age test: How many others remember the original Alice B and
her brownies? Here's the story:

Alice B's buddy wrote "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose."

The phrase on which your pun is based is from Shakespeare's "Romeo
And Juliet".

So was it fudge , or brownies? She (a 13-yr-old, probably not a college
student) made it for a school project, but gave them to university workers?
Something's weird.
Try not to think about it, Alice Childress. Try not to think about it
anymore.

Unlike _Steal this Book_, it's not that hard to find. One of these
days I'll try the eggs Picabia recipe...

Um, so was it fudge or brownies? Also, was it the lavender that made
it Swedish?

I always considered Rod Serling to be the Elephant Gun of TV
producers.

I can barely remember the movie "I Love You Alice B. Toklas". And I
have a VHS copy of "Steal This Movie", which I haven't watched yet.

Well, the author seemed to be unclear on the literary concepts involved.

I didn't notice the crossposting. Of the three newsgroups, I read
rec.food.cooking. Blinky out, with respect to the other two groups, with
this post.
