the bunlog

Hello from Yellowknife. Marita reporting from the Arctic Circle group, Oct 6/07.

I have no photos as I forgot to bring my camera.My tale is of frustration. I went downtown, uptown & even to a film festival, looking for breaded edibles, but found no “buns”. I ate an “apple-cheese danish” at one of my stops – the popular coffee chain Tim Horton’s (started decades ago by a professional hockey player – it was good, but it wasn’t even round. It was in the shape of a bird’s wing.

At the grocery store (Extra Foods) I found cookies, cinnamon fingers, muffins, pita, & all-kinds of intestine-challenging scones & bread products. I ended up buying a sugar-charged chocolate chip cookie. (Doesn’t count.)

At the Yellowknife film Festival (they were showing THE VENUS THEORY directed by Pasi Toiviainen, & other truly depressing climate change films) they had all kinds of candy, popcorn & even pre-packaged cupcakes. I ate nothing.

Today is the national Cinnamon Bun Day of Sweden. Now that’s the spirit!

The remarkable corporate members of the Friday Bun Consp— Society kindly delighted us with a very visual proof of the existence of their Bun Days.

It’s hard to imagine anything that could more clearly show the Concept that may or may not be found in the core of the Society. But I shall say no more of the Concept, for there are things that are best unspoken. Keep up the good work over there, fellow members! Enjoy your Buns, remember to have fun!
