Blog Guy, I know you’ve helped others with their photo collections, and I hope you can do the same for me. I collect photos of famous people flipping pancakes.
That’s awesome. How many do you have?
More than 1,800, going back to a daguerreotype of Robert E. Lee flipping some in the mess tent at Gettysburg. So can you help me?
I probably can. Readers LOVE photos of people flipping pancakes. They sell like hotcakes.
See, I had hoped to avoid moronic comments like that.
Here are shots of presidential candidates Barack Obama and George Bush at pancake flipping events. Americans don’t like to see their politicians waffle at a time like that.
Waffle? See, if you have to keep doing that, then just forget about the…
And here, fresh from today, are shots of the wildly popular Kate Middleton, the fiancée of Britain’s Prince William, flipping pancakes before pouring champagne and making a nice French toast.
Oh please! Kate Middleton? Now you’re just pandering for cheap page views to your blog, right?
Maybe I am. Without regular shots of Kate, my blog traffic falls as flat as a…
Shut up, Blog Guy.

Oh good ‘ole Dubbya. The greatest Breakfasticator this country has ever had in office!
“You see breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It nutritionalizes ya to be able to fight the evil doo-ers that wanna harm this country. To fight those that would burn the bacon. You know the sayin “Burn that bacon once, shame on me, burn it twice shame.. umm..er.. shame.. well just don’t burn the bacon!’ The Canadians have funny bacon. Heh heh.”
“No more flap, Jack! Join the OE Blog Network!”
Well,I think they made a good change from the cereal…:D
And whats with the daisy bottomed pan? Wonder how that would look once its burnt!
That’s a collection of photos of famous people flipping really small and quite thick pancakes. If I were more cynical, I might suggest that the pancake flipping organisers were trying to make it easier for the flippers…
Really? I’m gonna have to be the one to say it?
*sigh*
Oh, wait. It wouldn’t get through Mr. Spam Filter, anyway…
These pictures are crepe.
It would be a lot more entertaining to watch them toss a bowl of cereal with milk into the air and catch it back in the bowl.
I have to go now, and listen to what my Rice Krispies are telling me to do today.
ANOTHER FLIPPING BLOG POST!?!?!
Kate’s different faces while handling….PANCAKES
fwd, u be careful about your drooling… dont get any of it on the pan..
@Shra: hehehehe okay sure
Looks more like a drop scone than a pancake to me.
You’ve got to wonder why you would need to flip it when it’s already cooked on both sides. I had pancakes for tea last night, because I am a heathen, they were lovely and thin.
I knew my drop scones should have been bigger!!
It all looks like a populist effort to keep people from over-throwing the government.
Looking at the comments, it looks like just the regulars; making me think the Kate photo idea is half-baked. Sorry, but I’m going to have to pan future coverage.
yummy
now i’m hungry
thanks Kate
She’s a cutie!
Unca, I believe she is checking her pancake makeup.
Your drop scones looked lovely, Shra.
Thanks, Knit!
