Blog Guy, what did you think of President Obama’s tour of Europe? I was very moved when I saw that somebody in Turkey had done his image on a baklava.
You mean one of those Russian stringed instruments?
Sigh. No, that’s a BALALAIKA. Here’s a picture of Vladimir Putin playing one. The Obama portrait I’m talking about was done on a BAKLAVA.
Oh, right. Those ski caps people wear to cover their faces.
You’re a dunderhead! The cap is a BALACLAVA. Not a BALALAIKA or a BAKLAVA, which is a dessert. Look at this photo of a guerrilla arranging his balaclava. He is from Albania.
The New York State capital? I know it’s cold up there, but this seems excessive.
You’re a total moron, Blog Guy. I can’t take it. I’m out of here!
Fine. Leave me in peace to strum my baklava in Upstate New York.

No, that’s Batavia!
Yum!
Baklava!
Huh?!!!
You’ve got to wonder if there is a specific reason why the guy holding the Baracklava and the image in it are wearing the same costume… Going the look-alike way, are we?
What, you couldn’t work in a Barat joke too??
