Twinkie serendipity

Blogger Buzz announces Blogger image uploading, in a post including this picture:

[S]ince I can just click a button, here is a photo I took earlier today:

Beach stall: Deep Fried Twinkies.

I’m pretty sure local laws require a doctor to be on-site wherever deep fried twinkies are being sold. (If they don’t, they should.)
I know where Biz was: the same place that last Sunday’s Chronicle travel section visited. It’s Santa Cruz. Here’s their article, complete with a photo of the same Twinkies stand.

Obviously professional bloggers and professional journalists think along similar artery-clogging lines when confronted with a deep fried Twinkie:

It looked like something that would have killed Elvis, had he lived long enough to see its advent. I had intended to sample one purely in the interest of journalistic thoroughness, but fortunately the stand was closed. Presumably the owners were out getting a new defibrillator.
(Oh, and the image uploading: good, but a little point-and-clicky, and the markup it adds is a little verbose. No way to delete uploaded images. And are images resized on upload, or not?)
