There's a guy on here says that if you don't prime your cookie you're just being lazy.

I've heard on other forums and also read in some old MIL spec sheets that sprinkles help prevent corrosion. Perhaps the icing topcoats contain similar additives?

Also this one, certainly others.

Well I guess this would be the right time to bring this up:

I have a recurring dream where I am at a landing accuracy contest. I land a nose gear aircraft and lower the nose precisely on target - a fresh homemade chocolate chip cookie. I then hop in a tail dragger and, sure enough, manage to hit the target (yes another fresh, homemade chocolate chip cookie) smack on top with the little wheel. I win the trophy!

Now this all seems perfectly normal to everyone, I know. Then said dream becomes very very horrifying. I wake up sweating realizing I have destroyed two perfectly good, fresh, homemade... I can't bring myself to say it...

Oh Man, I gotta get back to work now. Hmm, glass of milk first.

Just one of the perks of a CSP.

Search? Thank you no. I don't care one tiny little bit about primer wars.

Typically when jokes start out with a line like "I was upside down enjoying a choco chip cookie..." there's some sort of history to the line. Like that line was the beginning of a story, known to most, that's been co-opted for the present joke.

I was just wondering if that's the case, and, if so, what that story might be.

I will personally admit to liking very few certified cookies, but there are a few that are acceptable.

Now, I was wondering why you would prime a cookie? I have seen cookies with no paint, and I have seen cookies with top coat...I am not sure that I have ever seen a cookie with primer though?
HA! Tanya is pretty proud of her cookies, but I assure you, just as I bet the Horton has accidentally blown a hole in thin walled tubing with a torch, she HAS burnt her fair share too. Usually when being distracted by a heated discussion about primer and whether or not I can bake parts in her oven.

I have often seen the cookie used as THE primer for many things...

Maybe we'll see you next weekend for further cookie inspection.

That's just it, the primer debate is known to most. As such it make a good, passionate subject to juxtapose against the actual absurd act -that of eating a cookie while performing aerobatics. So as SNL character Turd Ferguson would say "it's Funny".
