One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. "Hoffa Cupcakes" courtesy of Vagablond. I don't know how I missed this in the New York Times as I read it fanatically every day. As it turns out, this past May the FBI was tipped off by an imprisoned informant that he saw Jimmy Hoffa buried in a barn in a little town in Michigan called Milford, population 6,300. Word quickly got out and the entire town was abuzz in the news and embraced it feverishly, especially the Milford Baking Company with their 95-cent "Hoffa cupcakes" featuring a green plastic hand reaching up through chocolate icing and candy sprinkles designed to resemble dirt. Bon appetit!
How exceedingly funnnnnnny!!! and they'd be fun on Halloween.
