The 8th Wonder

I just caught the young fellow who was bagging my groceries at Hy Vee as he slowly peeled back the plastic bag containing my portobello and poked at the gills with his index finger.

“That’s a big mushroom.”

Young man, you would not believe the wonders that await you in this world. Corn with kernels that are both yellow and cream in color! Watermelon with no seeds! Pizza that you have to take home and bake yourself!

Kid, I can’t wait until you discover alcohol that has been carefully hidden in Jello. Truly, it will blow your mind. Until then, please keep your finger off of my produce. I was thinking about slicing that mushroom raw into a salad, but I’m pretty sure, now, that I should cook it until it dies.

  1. That’s hilarious!

  2. Hi, thought you’d want to know, your blog has been hijacked by spammers who’ve hacked your WordPress theme. Your blog header now has a large section of spammy links being hidden by CSS, I found it as one of them links to one of my old WP blogs that had also been hacked, you’ll likely need to re-upload your template from a backup and upgrade to the most recent version of WP.

  3. Dammit, I was just recently considering how old my WP install is, and there you have it. Thanks for the heads-up.
