@ThoughtfulRat I think this explains a lot about cruddy Aussie bagels versus the awesome bagels we had in Brooklyn http://t.co/sWU1Yg8
I honestly have no idea why, but I really like this article on the demise of bagels: http://t.co/Csv17vh
"The bagel is a symbol of assimilation at any cost" http://ti.me/ilJkK5 (via @counternotions) How the HELL does this qualify as "news?"
H&H bagels closed down? What's next, no pizza? http://t.co/62oA4WR In other news, the i-detox was interesting, but ultimately, anticlimatic.

In the spirit of @bkabak: GUYS, H&H's closing may signify the resurgence of "good 'original' bagels" and TIME is ON IT. http://t.co/dhyBCXv
