B-lo is making the national news again- not for our amazing economic recovery ::koff:: or our fabulous summer weather ::hork::, but for a recent visit from Alice B. Toklas:

Authorities responded to the River Oaks Marina in Grand Island shortly before ten Saturday night for five men suffering symptoms of allergic reactions.

Captain Ron Kenyon of the Sheriff's Department describes the symptoms as, "Some difficultly breathing, swelling of the tongue, and swelling of the lips."

Authorities say homemade sugar cookies made them sick but it's not clear why. The cookies are said to have originated from a California man.

"He sent his relative a gift of Christmas cookies last Christmas that were made of herbs as an ingredient. The person who received them didn't have plans on using them so he put them in the freezer." Captain Kenyon says.

Saturday,the un-named party-goer brought the cookies to the marina for a party. He left without eating any, but the Kenyon says five other men did eat the cookies.

"Those who consumed it were under the impression that it was marijuana," he said.

By this point, I'm thinking, didn't I see this on Barney Miller once?

Answer: Uh-huhhhhh!

"CHRISTOPHER BROWN -- "CYRANO & JULIET"" (Watch on YouTube)

The story's ending then includes this line:

It doesn't appear that anyone tampered with the cookies to harm people, but authorities have sent the cookies to a lab for testing.

I can just hear Captain Miller's cry: NOT THAT WAY!!!!
