What is Blat?

You may be wondering what blat -- or a blat -- is.

Blat is the sound a badly-played brass instrument makes. And, as you read this Blat -- er, blog -- you may start noticing a similarity between the two.

B.L.A.T. is a Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato sandwich, as served by the Longfellow Grill in Minneapolis. This has nothing to do with this blog, but if the Longfellow wanted to send me a lifetime supply of B.L.A.T.s, I would do nothing to stop them.

Blat is also, as Wikipedia informs me, a form of corruption in Russia and the Soviet Union. I will leave you to contemplate the subtleties of any connections.
