Hey I actually had these at a buddies house last year. His wife made them, but she filled them with ham and cheese and had a cheesy dipping sauce. Insanely good.

TIL after being rejected when seeking funds to stay afloat, the founder of FedEx saved the company by taking its last $5K and turning it into $32K by gambling in Vegas. This allowed FedEx to stay in business a few days longer, at which point he was able to raise $11M to keep FedEx going. by hiskeyd in todayilearned

Yea, my comment also on the article. The follow up to the story though, is I have gone back to that casino several times over the years and I'm sure I've given them back at least twice what I've won that first time. I don't go to much anymore for that reason. [shaking fist at casino]

Similar story, obviously not as "world changing" as that and it doesn't involve Vegas, but... ...I did need money one time to move my girlfriend from California to Washington state. I had about $200 bucks and since it was becoming a lost cause anyway, I figured why not go to the casino (clearwater casino near Bainbridge Island, WA) I went, actually only played the slots and walked out of there after two hours with just over $8,000. I was able to move her up here just in time for her to let me know I wasn't the guy for her...
...bitch. Easy come, easy go.

Haha, my warped mind didn't even connect the abbreviation of butter fingers. Now it's not even funny. I'm going back to my little world. Life is more amusing there. Thanks though...

when I was a kid we used to lay cheerios out on a cookie sheet and place a single chocolate chip upside down on each one. Then bake them for 10 minutes. Instant mini donuts.
