This week it is..... hush puppiesa type of suede shoes. also, in the uSa, a form of corn-bread fritter.hush Puppies in the culinary sense are balls of fried seasoned cornbread. They have been popular in the southern states of the uSa, often eaten with fried fish, and possibly known since the 18th century. The first reference to the term in print come quite late, but that’s not entirely surprising as few people would have had any reason to write the name down.in Dialect notes, 1918: “Hushpuppy, a sort of bread prepared very quickly and without salt.”By 1947 the uS magazine This Week had printed what amounts to a basic recipe: “What’s a hush puppy? You mean you don’t know that Southern fried bread like a miniature corn pone - but glorified? It’s made of the white cornmeal of the South, smooth and fine as face powder.”There are many stories about the origin of the term. none of these come complete with any supporting evidence so, unlike the early hushpuppies themselves, have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Two of the most commonly

repeated stories are:if Confederate soldiers detected Yankee soldiers approaching, they would quieten their barking dogs by throwing them the fried cornmeal balls.in the southern uSa, salamanders were called “water dogs” or “water puppies”. These were eaten as part of poor people’s diet - deep-fried with cornmeal. They were given the name hush puppies as eating such humble food wasn’t something people wanted to discuss.hush Puppy shoes were produced by the uS shoe company Wolverine World Wide from 1958 onward. The company had developed a method of tanning pigskin and were looking for an outlet for the soft pigskin suede. it is reported that the name was coined by Jim Muir, the company’s Sales Manager. he noticed that a friend’s dogs were quietened by giving them corn hush puppies and, knowing that aching feet were called barking dogs, thought that ‘hush Puppies’ would be a good name for the shoes. The ‘barking dogs’ phrase was well-known in the uSa by 1958, so the story is plausible at least, although it can only be reported here as hearsay.The shoes were heavily marketed from 1958, as this example from the oakland Tribune that year shows.ironically, the shoes themselves have crepe soles that often squeak loudly on hard flooring.

LiTTLE ThELMa Little Thelma comes home from first grade and tells her father that they learned about the history of Valentine’s Day. “Since Valentine’s Day is for a Christian saint and we’re Jewish,” she asks, “Will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?Thelma’s father thinks a bit then says “no, i don’t think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?”“The isis group,” she says.“Why them?” her father asks in shock.“Well,” she says, “i thought that if a little american Jewish girl could have enough love to give them a valentine, they might start to think that maybe we’re not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. and if other kids saw what i did and then they sent valentines to them, they’d love everyone a lot.and then they’d start going all over the place telling everyone how much they loved them and how theydidn’t hate anyone anymore.”her father’s heart swells and he looks at his daughter with newfound pride.

“Thelma, that’s the most wonderful thing i’ve ever heard.”“i know,” Thelma says, “and once that gets them out in the open, the Marines could blow the crap out of them.”

BuCKETThe weather was very hot and this man wanted desperately to take a dive in a nearby lake. he didn’t bring his swimming outfit, but who cared? he was all alone. So he undressed and got into the water. after some delightful minutes of cool swimming, a pair of old ladies walked onto the shore in his direction. he panicked, got out of the water and grabbed a bucket lying in the sand nearby. he held the bucket in front of his private parts and sighed with relief. The ladies got nearby and looked at him. he felt awkward and wanted to move. Then one of the ladies said: ‘You know , i have a special gift, i can read minds.’ ‘impossible’, said the embarrassed man, ‘You really know what i think?’ ‘Yes’, the lady replied, ‘Right now, i bet you think that the bucket you’re holding has a bottom.’

inDonESia Entire neighbourhood get high after police burn 3.3 tonnes of cannabisan entire neighbourhood accidentally got high after police burned 3.3 tonnes of seized cannabis. officers in West Jakarta, indonesia, sparked the pile of drugs on Wednesday.The smoke spread to nearby homes where locals suffered dizziness and headaches, reports asiaone.com.Police wore masks but those without succumbed to the powerful marijuana fumes.nearly two kilograms of crystal methamphetamine and more than 2,500 ecstasy pills were also destroyed – but not with fire.

uSa ‘Stop pooping on the bike path’ sign is intended for humansa uS town is being plagued by a mystery pooper who keeps squatting in the middle of a bike path.The epidemic is so bad that officials have erected a sign in hampton, illinois, that reads: ‘Stop pooping on the bike path.’a fair order.Scott McKay, of hampton’s Public Works, told WqaD: ‘animals don’t carry toilet paper and then stuff it on top.‘it’s pretty nasty. We’ve got enough goose crap on the bike path, let alone humans.’Locals are bemused as to why some people are choosing to release their bowels all over the path when a perfectly fine toilet is located nearby.Runner Mitchell Jankowski said: ‘i know on long runs sometimes people have to hold it for a while, but i’ve never thought of carrying toilet paper and just squatting on the road.’

without asking, especially if they’re brownies. They could be laced with marijuana and cause you to think you’re having a stroke like one father in Michigan, united States.The unnamed 58-year-old had no idea the cakes his daughter, 17, had left out contained the special ingredient and thought he was suffering a brain injury. he was so convinced that he was having a stroke that he called emergency services on Wednesday, according to uSa Today. But when they arrived his daughter confessed the brownies contained marijuana and his father was most likely just high. Medical weed is legal in the state but general possession is not allowed.

mags meanderings: from som tam to mushY peas

DiCTaToRShiP, DEMoCRaCY oR DiSaSTER?Many of you will have visited Singapore, the island state which during the last 50 plus years has risen from poverty to become one of the richest countries in the World. and you will also know that the man credited with making most of that rise to riches possible was Lee Kuan Yew, who died two weeks ago.

By all accounts Lee, the first Prime Minister of Singapore, was a highly intelligent but fair and determined leader, and there is no doubting the success of his authoritarian regime. Modern day Singapore stands out against its’ neighbours as a shining example of how to conduct business, make money, and not least control its’ citizens in such a way as to make them appreciate what they have, and to work with their government rather than

against it.The laws there can seem draconian. Singapore still has the death sentence, and is infamous for the exhorbitant fines imposed on jaywalkers, litterers, and smokers. But as a result it is almost frighteningly clean and well ordered.one of Lee Kuan Yews’ fundamental principles was that of one party rule, using a method of government designed to prevent any competition from potential opposition parties. a principle which our own David Cameron is probably praying for right now, and one which some other countries are actually beginning to aspire to.is Thailand one of those countries?not so long ago i would have choked on my Carl-sa-berg at the very idea. now that idea seems to be a definite maybe. With a new constitution being drafted as we speak, aimed at tackling the problems experienced by Thailand in the last decade - the political demonstrations - the upsurge of rural voters hoping for a true and long overdue democracy which recognised their needs - can we really discount the possibility that Thailand will end up with a ‘back to the 80’s’ style elitist regime along with a smattering of un-elected elders?and an even more soul searching question has to be whether that would in fact be a good thing? Much as i have always believed in democracy, the fact is that so far Thailand doesn’t seem to have quite grasped the concept of how it should work there. Perhaps it is in fact time to go back to the drawing board and start over.But despite the fact that a new World order might be just around the corner, please don’t ever make Bangkok as squeaky clean as Singapore!Word of the week is ‘scintilla’, meaning a tiny amount, trace, iota, tad, speck etc. You might for example experience a scintilla of doubt about the wisdom of having that next Chang.

FeatUred game

SATURDAY 4TH APRIL 2015PREMIER LEAGUEArsenal v Liverpool 18:45 Liverpool suffered a major setback in their hopes to qualify for the Champions League last time out, and a loss here would virtually end their chances. Few seem to think Arsenal are in the title race but with Chelsea playing one of their bogey teams, Stoke, later, the Gunners could find themselves only four points behind them if results go their way. The form book suggests a hme win, but this will be a tight affair, and Brendan Rodgers would probably be happy with a point; we don’t think he’ll get it though and may have to settle for a place in the Europa League.

uKTabloid newspapers have celebrated Harry Kane’s England debut goal by dedicating back pages to his performance and their best ‘reporters’ to find dirt on the young striker.After scoring just 79 seconds into his debut, tabloid reporters have been quick to elevate him to the position of England saviour whilst also desperately looking for things to knock him down a peg or two.Red top sports correspondent Simon Williams told us, “The guy can use both feet, he’s good with his head, and he works incredibly hard – so with any luck he’ll have a secret illegitimate child or an expensive coke habit.”“Last night was the stuff of dreams, so we can only hope to uncover the stuff of his nightmares some time soon.”“It’s so great to see talented young English players doing it on the world stage, and one can only imagine what he could achieve

for our circulation figures if we can find something scurrilous in his private life.”“Harry Kane could break records, seriously.”Shortly after filing copy for today’s back pages, reporters began searching out ex-girlfriends and people from Kane’s past in the hope they could shed some insight into the new England star.Another freelance hack told us, “We’re looking to hear about what he was like as a kid, who his heroes were, and whether he ever got involved in any serious criminal activity that was covered up because he can kick a football pretty well. Harry Kane could be the best thing to ever happen to England’s tabloid reporters, but it’s still very early days.”“It’s a lot for the young boy to carry on his shoulders, for sure, but he looks like he can handle having the hopes and dreams of hundreds of tabloid reporters resting on the fact he has a skeleton in his closet.”

“Hopefully it won’t take too long to find it, I’ve got bills to pay.”
