This is a prank on a "grand" scale. Over 200 people gathered at Grand Central Station in New York to pull off a 'frozen in place' act. The onlooking travelers who weren't part of the act were mystified as to what was going on.

Wow. Has anyone seen M*A*S*H the movie?
I knew it would be different from the TV series but... man. It paints a way more realistic, gruesome picture. Chilling.
Anyway speaking of, I'm super excited because yesterday I bought the entire boxed set of M*A*S*H at the used game store for really cheap!! One of the best series ever, apart from TNG.
Yes Ryo, I'm a dork ;P

Current Mood: toasty!

If anyone's had the pleasure of trying Mackinac fudge, this is pretty much the exact same thing, only homemade :D

Mackinac Island Fudge
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Mix milk, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and salt in heavy pan. Cook at medium heat until boiling. Boil exactly 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and confectioners’ sugar. Beat with mixer until smooth and thick. Add nuts, if desired. Pour into a buttered pan and freeze 20 minutes. Cut into pieces.

Makes approximately 1 pound of fudge.

Peanut Butter Mackinac Island Fudge
Reduce butter to 1/4 cup and add 1/2 cup peanut butter.
(Hmm, I actually think this is too peanut buttery. Next time I'll try switching it to 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup peanut butter...or use peanut butter chips)

Chocolate Mackinac Island Fudge (haven't tried it, but let me know if you have)
Use basic recipe, adding 1/2 cup cocoa with the confectioners’ sugar.

Black cherry fudge is super good too... I should hunt down a recipe for that eventually.

This song reminds me of a cat-crazed friend I used to have--maybe she'll find this and enjoy it too.
