Whoopi Goldberg is feeling dissed because some article in the New York Times about Oscar-winning blacks omitted her. You may have forgotten, and who could blame you, that she won an Oscar for a supporting role in "Ghost" back in 1992. My son was five that year; he is now 23. The star, Patrick Swayze, has been dead for some time now. And Whoopi thinks this omission on the part of the Times is an example of racism when really it is just an insult to her talent: Who thinks of Whoopi Goldberg and Oscar-winning performances at the same time?
I have never liked Whoopi and it has nothing to do with her skin color, it is based on three things and three things only: her dumb name, her lack of talent and her huge ego. She said on "The View," the daytime TV show with all the women who sit around gossiping about celebrities, "I know it's hard to believe, but I'm a worldwide person who's known." She's right about that--it is hard to believe.
I have lived in Maine for two years now and have never eaten a whoopie pie, although many people have nagged me to try one. It's that dumb name again. Not appealing.
If you like a huge glob of frosting in between dry pieces of cake, you may find them appealing. I never found them remotely edible.
ReplyDeleteI could never get over Whoopi Goldberg's lack of eyebrows. I guess Ted Danson didn't mind. Now that was a strange couple.

Jackie, I love your observation!
ReplyDeleteWhoopie pies are made yucky here in Maine. They use Crisco (yuck) and Fluff. How can you use those ingredients and say you created it first? Both ingredients are new food products (I use that term loosely).
ReplyDeleteI don't use either in mine.

i never heard of a whoopie pie til i moved here . . . and I went to college in Pennsylvania! So maybe they have em in Lancaster but not Pittsburgh.
ReplyDeleteEven with good ingredients they look disgusting (but I'll try yours, Gabby) . . . but like GL says, corn syrup, fluff, what is the appeal?
They sell them everywhere! SOME PEOPLE MUST BE HAVING SEVERAL A DAY!
