"The word... is Noggro!"

An article in Slate addresses a new version of the Swedish ice cream bar "Nogger," one that's covered in licorice and called "Nogger Black."

I suppose the entire point of this post is that people are morons, and also as an excuse to include the last line of the article:

"Maybe it's time to start a counteroffensive. The brother of a Slate colleague recommends that Ben & Jerry's test-market a new flavor called W.E.B. DuBoisenberry."

That floored me.

Hey Ben! Just wanted to let you know I got an English teaching job in Hakodate, Hokkaido, and I'll be leaving in August. I'm pretty psyched about it. Anyway, I'll probably have questions for you at some point about Japan in general. Later man

Dude! That's awesome. Congratulations. I will actually know an American student in Hakodate next year, so I should hook you guys up when the time comes. E-mail me details!
