Two Things We Liked On The Internet Today:
No Need To Hog The Popped Corn, My Boy!
Why is it that only mankind should be allowed to enjoy the sweet, salty delight of kettle corn? Do the sons of Adam hold some divine right to the fresh-popped snack? If beasts were not meant to partake of this divine treat, then why does its aroma fall as sweetly on their noses as it does ours? Why should any creature be denied this blessing?
Do not fear, my boy! This ursine visitor only desires that for which you also yearn. Do you not see yourself in him? Look into his eyes, good lad, and pass the corn.
