Flashback to childhood traumas...

On occasion my Dad would be called upon to work his dubious kitchen
miracles, and a common element in these acts of faith was meatloaf with
Stuff in it... he always managed to include something that seemed to
look up at you from the plate, generally either hard-boiled eggs or
little onions.

I still can't look at meatloaf with Stuff in it without seeing in my
mind's eye (_not_ a pearl onion in meat loaf, despite appearances) the
early 30's "Our Gang" short subject where Dickie Moore and Stymie Beard
make the fundraiser cake with assorted Stuff in it, useful things like
rubber gloves, hot water bottles, a rat trap, etc. And then I have to
hear that sound... "Wheeeep! Whooooowwppp!"
