Today’s Metal Friday is brought to you by a truly hardcore treat- the sugar cookie.
Sugar Cookies are my favorite dessert. They rock hard. Especially when sandwiched around a thin layer of whipped icing. Yummm-RAWR!
You are likely wondering how the heck Sugar Cookies could be metal, right?
Wednesday evening a close friend of mine stopped by with a box of Sugar Cookies to cheer me up. He was complaining that there were only 9 cookies in the box because the bakery was almost out. What an atrocity! Only 9 cookies instead of a full dozen.
Awhile after he left I received the following text message:
“9 is an inverted 6…there are 3 sets of 3’s in a 9…3+3 is 6…9 sugar cookies that bear the mark…the number of the beast…6…6…6…most metal sugar cookies evah!!”
See? Metal.
I am off to enjoy a Sugar Cookie with a most Metal cup of coffee.
I am very excited about the upcoming Scion Rock Fest coming to Atlanta next month! The band list keeps growing and is nothing short of impressive. Best part- the show is absolutely FREE. Tickets can be found at record stores around the city but are limited and only a set number will be allowed through the doors.
Track down some tickets and get yourself to Masquerade early or you’ll miss out on one hell of an event!
