Mmmm, Weirds.

Jesse Thorn of Sound of Young America and CPB have helped us expand our supply of MacArthur award congratulatory snacks.

Thanks to Jesse we can now watch "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" while enjoying jack mackerel, fried pork skins, rubber grapes, and Weirds (a tangy candy from Pakistan, crafted from titanium dioxide, carnuba wax, and dextrose -- in other words, delicious).

And, we conquered this tower of sweets sent to us from CPB!

Thanks, CPB and SOYA! You really made our day.

"Let it be shouted to the heavens: THAT JESSE THORN IS A CLASS ACT.

JUST LIKE HIS PALS AT THE CPB, NPR and PRX."

Hereby shouted!
