One of these just opened up a block away from me -- this strange new Japanese phenom which has supposedly overtaken Kripy Kream as the pastry "of the moment." Curious to give'em a try, I stopped in last week to get one to go. "WELCOME TO BEARD PAPA - HELLO!!!"...screamed three alarmingly enthusiastic employees at me all at once. Disarming. So, I got one to go. Took a bite of it as I walked up towards Astor Place, only for it to basically ejaculate a thick glob of cream all over my hand and chin (making me look like more of a fool than usual). Is it possible to eat one of these without that happening? In any case, despite the mess, it was quite nice. Just brought home a box and had two in quick succession, and am now feeling positively light-headed.

What's your take on this?

I think they're tricking people into turning gay.

They are good. The pumpkin flavored ones taste like Christmas. SUCK IT UP, ALEX AND FINISH IT!!!

The cream puff squirts goop all over your chin to give you a "beard," but only if you happen to be a papa. Hence the name.
