I was going to guess Freud.

(You know what _that_ means, right? 😉 )

Who on earth is Mandy Patinkin? I even searched for photos of him and still don’t know who he is! But hey, my pancake man knows all. I’ll have him make you both a Mandy-cake and a Bart-cake.

Anybody want to see the other pancake?

You know, that thing really is extraordinary. I sure hope you find the means to preserve it (Stop it! no jelly jokes!)

Like Minefield…

So here’s the other one. I can’t offer a prize on this one, cause I can’t remember who it is suppose to be! I am hoping that I will recognize the name if anybody gets it. This is from the Famous Entertainers Series. I think he told me the actors name, rather than the character that he was famous for.

Please note: the pancakes shown are long gone. They were happily scarfed down my me and my dogs.

Ya know, that pancake does kinda look like him. But I swear the person’s name was longer, Like a three-name person (all fancy like). But it was an actor from older movies.

**Inigo!** forgive me, I have always loved you but I didn’t know why!

and BZZT (I think) I’ll be talking to the pancake man in about 30 minutes. I’ll find out for sure who the mistery pancake is. But I think I would remember the Edward G. R. guy.

But Mandy Patinkin also played that insufferable ick of a doctor on Chicago Hope, with that awful falsetto singing voice. :mad: Unfortunately I can’t forget that even when watching The Princess Bride. ☹
