The many properties of tiny buffet buns

It's been too long. Well first off, let me say that I did indeed purchase some new music for myself, and I am currently enjoying Florence + the Machine immensely. I probably took too long to give her a good listen (I imagine Mark is shaking a finger at me for being so behind) but I am loving her album.
I'll also take a second to link to my sister's film review blog, where I make a brief appearance in her composite review of Jurassic Park. Check it out, I'm the asshole at the end whose review is about a paragraph long.
Anyways, I realized I have more Tony stories to share. I'm not sure how well the humor of this one will translate to text, but I'll give it a go. A little background: At this bakery we make a variety of dinner rolls, and one kind that is rarely ordered are our "tiny buffet buns". These are your standard buffet buns, but reduced to the size of a silver dollar. As I say, these are not ordered often due to the fact that most people see them and say, "Um....that's it?" or "What do you expect me to do with those?" One fine day a woman had ordered these, came to pick them up, and exclaimed that was not the size bun she wanted. As a result, we had about 3 dozen extra buns on hand. Cathode Ray and I were examining them and I asked her, "I mean, what exactly can you do with these anyways?" Well, Tony overheard this question and came rushing over: "Ohmigosh! There are so many things you can do with these buns! You could perhaps make some tiny sandwiches, or put some little shrimp in them, or even a small wedge of cheese. They are just so dainty and elegant...I would take them but I don't have anyone to give them to, I don't even have a cat."
Hm. Well, I think it's more amusing in person. Anyways, I've been instructed by Hacksaw to ask Cathode Ray about Tony and his opinion on long haired guinea pigs. This should be interesting.
In Blablabla news, J decided to run around and stick post-it notes on our butts that read "TAP ME! :)" today.  Professional, we are not. I also decided to update our hair care consultation charts with a message that read "Your hair looks awful. May I offer you a consultation?"
