Heavens they're tasty, and expeditious.

I feel totally gypped. I just learned that Powdermilk Biscuits aren't, and never have been, real. AND I WANTED SOME!

PHC will be performing a show in western Mass. in June. While not something I will immediately make plans to attend right now, if others were interested closer to the date, I can see it being an interesting experience. I used to listen all the time while delivering pizza. (Let me tell you, I never found another delivery driver who listened to opera and PHC while delivering.)

I just learned that Powdermilk Biscuits aren't, and never have been, real.

...perhaps, then, it's best not to mention the truth behind Bertha's Kitty Boutique, either...

Argh. That's the thing - I knew that a lot of his advertisements were false, but for some reason I always assumed Powdermilk Biscuits really existed. And I wanted some. :(

I'm so there. (At PHC)

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Cool. Remind me, and I'll decide closer to. :)

Hmm... June 30 is my birthday. I've been wondering what I wanted to do to celebrate. A day (weekend?) in the Berkshires could be fun.

I aspire some day to have a variety show like that. Podcasting may yet make it possible. We just need someone with that voice (and a face made for radio).

Hey now, this post was inspired because we watched the PHC movie, so he's gotten into movies too!

[metahacker.livejournal.com]

It's his joke. Though I noticed in the movie he got pretty good at mugging for the camera. ;)

Apropos of nothing, okgo tickets are in the mail and are $5.

Sweet. Need me to prepay or just hand you a fiver at the show?

[etherial.livejournal.com]

money's tight right now but not that tight.

I listened to PHC a lot as a kid - in fact, I remember many Saturdays checking the VCR to make sure Star Trek was taping, so we could listen to PHC and watch Star Trek later :)

When I was very young, I thought all the ads were real - in an era when they were ALL fake - they didn't have corporate sponsors at that point. Powdermilk Biscuits is probably their longest-running gag. My mom had to explain it to me - powdered milk is pretty nasty, and you would never ADVERTISE that it was used in making your "fresh" biscuits.

You know, I never even pondered that Powdermilk would imply powdered milk. I assumed it meant powder (in some floury sense) and milk, separately. Hmm. Oops? ;)

I'd love to go to a PHC show. When I was in high school I totally ripped off a Guy Noir sketch for a creative writing assignment. No one caught on. :)

Fear not.

Powdered milk is actually in a fair amount of biscuit recipes, especially for homemade baking mix (like Bisquik) to keep around the house and turn into pancakes, shortcakes, biscuits, etc.

Here is a biscuit recipe with powdered milk.

I don't think it's *that* ridiculous to think of advertising biscuit mix with powdered milk, no matter what anyone else on here says. :-)

Re: Fear not.

Oops. That's actually a baking mix recipe, but, like I said, it says to use it in place of Bisquik.

Damn. I want some biscuits now.
