fairy circles

I love the name Fairy Circles! It makes me think of the "circle of friends" we might have.

You: "Do you know Demeter?"

Me: "Yeah! She's pretty well known in baking circles. I never hang out with her though."

You: "Why not?"

Me: "I usually hang in fairy circles. I'm also well known in rainbow circles, unicorn circles, and pi circles."

You: "That's awesome."

Me: "I know."

Fairy Circles are in Africa. They are circles in the desert where grass grows around a dead patch of dirt.  Researchers have found that it's probably termites who do this. I'm pretty sure that it's fairies, though.

Because it's in the name. And why would you name something that it isn't? That would be like calling a piano "Frank." It's just silly and doesn't make any sense.

Luckily, you have me to make sense of things.

Unless termites are fairies! Oh my stars and garters! Could it be?!

Both termites and fairies fly, can survive anything, grant wishes, and live in circles!

I think I just made a scientific discovery today. Quite possibly changing the world forever.

You’re welcome.

I'm off to make more science.

Enjoy Everything.

no taxation on chocolatification

I was such a huge fan of France. I mean, for almost a whole week I couldn't stop writing about them! For me to be excited about something for a WHOLE WEEK is pretty impressive!

With all their gastronomy fairs and towers and chocolate-marshmallow bears and dijon! Who couldn't love France?!

Turns out I can't. Because of the "Nutella Tax."

Go ahead. I'll wait for the GASP...GASP!

France is worried about the obesity problem. YES! The place where there is a WHOLE FAIR DEDICATED to EATING FOOD.

The place where they celebrate marshmallow bears COVERED IN CHOCOLATE.

The place where people CHUG MUSTARD because it's all dijony!

Ok...that last one might not be true. But it SOUNDS true.

They want to put taxes on taxes on taxes for palm oil. An ingredient in Nutella.

If that's the way France wants to play, then I don't want any part of it. I do know that if this DOES happen, we'll probably have thousands of French people coming to America where the Nutella flows like the mighty Mississippi.

Well, at MY house it does. Because I built a mountain out of chocolate and I pour Nutella down it every day to make Nutella rivers. Sometimes I put little candy boats on it. If the sun is out, you might even get a chocolate rainbow.

I love chocolate rainbows.

I'm off to chug mustard.

Enjoy Everything.

taste a lot of stuff

My grapes come in a bag. The bag says "Taste the sunshine flavor!"

And you know what?! They DO taste like sunshine! I have no reference point for the actual taste of sunshine, but I trust plastic bags. Has a plastic bag ever lied to you? No.

I enjoy tastes of things. Like rainbows. Skittles found out what a rainbow tastes like and put it into a chewy droplet that I love.

Wanna know what I do now? Are you sure you can handle it? I fill a bowl with grapes and Skittles! Now I eat sunshine and rainbows for breakfast, lunch, dinner AND brunch!

Yes! You read that correctly! Sunshine and rainbows!

You: "What are you eating?"

Me: "SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS!"

You: "Are you sure? It looks like a bowl of grapes...with...are those Skittles in there?"

Me: "SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS!"

You: "You're beginning to scare me."

Me: "And you are beginning to kill my sunshine and rainbow buzz!"

You: "Sorry...I'll leave."

Me: "SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS!"

So that was my day so far. I hope you're just as sunshiny and rainbowy. Bowey? Bowie? You get the point.

I'm off to dance in the street.

Enjoy Everything.

the bison representative

The United States of America needs a mammal. A "National Mammal."

We've gone mammal-free for far too long! Lawmakers have introduced the National Bison Legacy Act so when you think America, you think bison-mammal!

The Intertribal Buffalo Council and the National Bison Association are behind this 100%. The NBA (not to be confused with the NBA) has members in ALL 50 states ready to make this happen.

There is no official word from President Obama about the bison...yet. But something could happen soon. He has some competition this year.

There's some election thing coming up and rumors are already starting. There is talk that Mitt Romney is a unicorn. There is no proof that he is NOT a unicorn, so clearly, there is a 99% chance that he IS a unicorn! (This is real. Look it up.)

So if Mitt becomes president, guess what our National Mammal would be! A UNICORN! (SO AWESOME!)

I know what you're thinking, "A bison could beat up a unicorn."

Really. You think that. Even though unicorns are magical and have a giant horn on their heads. You still think your bison-mammal can take out a unicorn-mammal?

I didn't think so.

This is the only important issue to think about when it comes time to vote on those ballot things.

Think about how majestic our new flag would look with a unicorn standing on a rainbow.

THAT is a United States I can unite with stately!

I'm off to make percentage heard.

Enjoy Everything.
