2016/June/16 - Corn Harvest

Food from the Garden

The pic above shows today's exciting news, namely, the first harvest of corn from the garden.  Despite looking kinda funky it is really, really delicious.  Actually we're lucky we got any corn at all, because despite being a corn farmer back in the Philippines, Lola for some reason planted our corn in the shade.  Next year we'll get her to plant it in the sun, and hopefully we have even a better harvest.

The cherry tomatoes are very productive this year, and we're starting to get green beans now.  We've already harvested one small eggplant, but the okra and squash haven't kicked in yet.  And the sweet potato vines look fantastic!

Of course Grump missed all this fun, as he was away in Columbus, allegedly working.  But we're got to humor him, because he is the walking ATM after all, and we need his money!


Let's have some WonderPolls!

1. Which of the following is more evil?  a) Pushing all the buttons on a packed elevator, (nobody knows it was you), b) Mixing Skittles and M&Ms in a bowl, or c) Forcing someone to watch a marathon of Snookie and JWow?

Gosh, none of those are particularly nasty except maybe "c", just because of the "forced" aspect to it. (What are "Snookie" and "JWow" anyway?)  How about something truly evil, like forcing someone to choose between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump!

Since option "c" involves coercion I guess I'd have to choose it.  48% of respondents agreed with me. 27% don't EVER want their Skittles and M&Ms mixed, (that would be yucky!), and 25% don't appreciate you fools who hit the wrong buttons on the elevator.

2. When you cry do you want to be comforted or left alone?  (Or do you never cry?)

It depends upon why I am crying, but usually I want to be left alone.  50% of respondents agreed with me, with 33% wanting to be comforted.  17% of y'all are either cold-hearted or liars, and claimed you never cry.

3. Would you rather be attacked by bees or piranhas?

Unfortunately for my various appendages I'd rather be attacked by piranhas, because bees inject venom, and you never can know at what point you may develop an allergy to it, (like poor Kuya!), and wind up needing immediate medical attention to stay alive.

But in this case I am in the clear minority, as only 25% chose to be attacked by nasty fish.  I guess y'all value those miscellaneous body parts very highly, and are willing to risk going into allergic shock as long as you remain intact.

4. Would you drink a cup of a homeless man's snot for $20,000?

No way!  NO, NO, NO!!  That is not only disgusting but highly unsanitary.  Ugh!

72% of you had enough sense to agree with me, while 28% of you are either reckless or extremely hard up for cash.  Good luck!


Peace y'all!
