Postum Scriptum
So last night after I posted my meaningless entry, Irene and I had an inspiration to go to Wendy's to pick up a Frosty. Now, as a rule I don't like Wendy's. I think their food is second rate, their prices are too high, and, come on, square burgers? Please.
But Frosties are an exception. They are like a large eight ounce cup of soft serve ice cream, but twenty times more wonderful. They are out of this world!
So anyways, with these expectations in mind, Irene and I went through the drive thru, with the intention of getting two of these, until we saw the menu. On the menu, we saw this entry called "Mixin' Frosty" for only 30 cents more! So not only do you get the wonder of Frostys but you can mix in yummy candy! Even more wonderfulness! YES!
But what do we get? Have you ever seen those portable jello pudding things that little kids bring in their lunches? You know those dinky things?
The soft serve ice cream was in this little plastic cup that was a quarter of the size of a regular Frosty. Then the "mixin'" was in a bag that was smaller than a playing card with a couple blasted crUSHED PIECES OF CANDY THAT DIDN'T EVEN COVER THE SURFACE OF THIS STUPID ALLEGED DESSERT!!! This was not even like a quarter size mcflurry, because they didn't even bother to mix in the STUPID CANDY!!!!!! The first thing I thought was "Surely this is a joke!" But no, it was real. I finished this fun size (read-ridiculously tiny) version of a dessert in three bites. I paid 33% more for the opportunity to receive 25% of the original size! Well thank you very much Mr. Dave "The Ripoff" Thomas, for this little, very little, piece of scam.
This is "dessert" outrage. An OUTRAGE!

We work like a horse.
We eat like a pig.
We like to play chicken.
You can get someone's goat.
We can be as slippery as a snake.
We get dog tired.
We can be as quiet as a mouse.
We can be as quick as a cat.
Some of us are as strong as an ox.
People try to buffalo others.
Some are as ugly as a toad.
We can be as gentle as a lamb.
Sometimes we are as happy as a lark.
Some of us drink like a fish.
We can be as proud as a peacock.
A few of us are as hairy as a gorilla.
You can get a frog in your throat.
We can be a lone wolf.
But I'm having a whale of a time!
You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
Please remember to never
restrict anyone's opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose. A
time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,

P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."

You know, Nathan, the best part of your entries is when you really get worked up and start capping and italicizing and bolding halfway through words.
Case in point:
crUSHED PIECES OF CANDY THAT DIDN'T EVEN COVER THE SURFACE OF THIS STUPID ALLEGED DESSERT!!!
I read that and imagine you frothing at the mouth in the midst of an apoplectic fit. Excellent use of formatting.

Your analysis is incorrect, my friend. The dollar menu at Wendy's is generally a good value. One can get a whole meal for two or three bucks. And believe me, I know.
