Do you know who those black Dodge trucks, with black on their fenders and wheel rims, would be perfect for? The man in black? For someone trying to camouflage themselves in a soot storm? For someone who wants to discreetly be swallowed up by a black hole? No. They would be perfect for middle order Mennonites. Those people who drive around in black cars but the chrome is too ostentatious for them, so they deliberately blacken all the chrome on their cars.
And currently the two braids, one on each side of the head is kind of in style. You know, the way that middle order Mennonite girls wear their hair.
As for the guys, they wear straw hats in the summer. Ones that look a lot like Panama hats. And Panama hats are kind of in style, too.
Congratulations for our culture which has finally made middle order Mennonites cool and fashionable! It’s about time!

Are you still suffering from shock that 20 years ago the least liked part of the chicken, the wings, were so throwaway that you could get 10 for $2.
Well that was then and this is now. Now it costs $20 for those same 10 wings and if anything the price is going to go up even more.
Curse all those chefs who made cooking and seasoning wings so important that they are now considered to be the pinnacle of the chicken. Curse all those sporting events that demanded chicken wings be used as the only food to be eaten while enjoying those sports.
Maybe there will be a change when chicken wings cost $20 a pair. Then the rest of the chicken will be least liked and you can get it for a buck or two. That’s the day I look forward to, anyway.

It is my belief that aliens are tall and hairy, much like the envisioning of Chewbacca by George Lucas and company.
And if they choose to land their ships on earth, they do it in out of the way places where they can’t be found. Certain spots in the rocky mountains ought to be hard enough to reach.
And out of necessity, such tall creatures would need to have big feet. You know the kind that leave you with a big impression.
It’s just too bad that we never see anything tall and hairy with big feet near the rocky mountains. Or else we could say that aliens exist!
