Yesterday we watched a video stream on Facebook where a baker crafted an entire cake to look like a jar of Jif peanut butter. It was a perfect replica, down to the UPC code and ingredients listed. It was entirely edible, which is quite amazing, and probably a good five hours worth of meticulous work. Maybe more?
And that was my question, “But, why?”
It was really just one of those days of odd news. A man in Lincoln went before the city council to passionately plea for a name change to boneless chicken wings. He had a compelling argument, since they really aren’t wings at all. This lie is apparently bothering him a great deal. I did think, “But, why?” Then I considered, this could be his entry into politics. This could be his attempt to take our minds off of greater issues. This could be for the mere sport of it.
This could all be for fun!
Maybe we should do something that innocuous today? Something just for fun? I’m going for the donut, friends.
