> > In the Trader Joe's near where I used to live, you could buy Shortbread Bobbies, which are without a doubt the best shortbread product I've ever tasted. You may not like them or may think that other shortbread is better, but oh well. One day, I was shocked to learn that they had decided to stop selling them! What a gyp! Anyway, the only place to get them now, according to my mother, is in New Zealand, so if there's anyone in New Zealand who has access to these, can you send me some? Brunnen-G, I'm mentioning your name in here because you're the only one who I know lives in New Zealand. I would $really love$ these. Please!

I hate to tell you this, eric, but I've lived here all my life and I've never heard of Shortbread Bobbies, and neither has anyone I've asked. I fear that you may be the victim of a cruel hoax.

Brunnen-"maybe your mother wants you to move out?"G
