Many fans have asked me to explain, in my own words, what Platonic Spooning is. Here is the definition, according to me:
Not only am I a platonic spooner, I am also the self-proclaimed Mayor of Clarendon!
(On a side note, you really can't beat the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. )

McKee Foods Corporation, a privately held, family-run company based in Collegedale, Tennessee, has sold more than 157 billion Little Debbie® snacks since the brand became available in 1960. If you lined up all those snacks, that would cover over 9.9 million miles — enough to circle the Earth almost 400 times! That's also enough snack cakes to stretch to the moon and back more than 41 times!
Little Debbie® snacks have even orbited the earth on the space shuttle, traveling more than 17,500 miles an hour.
Little Debbie® Fudge Brownies were one of Elvis Presley’s favorite snacks.
Little Debbie® Oatmeal Creme Pies had a supporting role in the Disney family adventure Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in 1989.
The Little Debbie® brand is better known than its parent company. In 1960, the company founders O.D. and Ruth McKee decided to create a brand for the products they were selling and chose to name it after one of their grandchildren - four-year-old Debbie. The original image of Debbie used on packaging and advertising was based on a black and white photo of Debbie in her favorite outfit. Atlanta artist, Pearl Mann, did the original color artwork. She made young Debbie look older, around eight or nine. Minor changes were made to the logo in 1987.
Why do you think restaurants put pickles on plates? This is an excellent question, Mayor, and one that I feel I am uniquely qualified to answer, seeing as how I am from Pittsburgh, home of Heinz pickles (don't tell them I don't love ketchup, though...) Did you know that pickles are mentioned in the bible? Also, did you know that pickles are technically a fruit? I think, you know, if it can't be baked into some sort of delicious dessert, it shouldn't be considered a fruit, but no one asked me. Anyway, I'm rambling because I realize that I don't know why they put pickles with sandwiches. But you can find lots of pickle information here: http://www.ilovepickles.org/index.html -- they're located in DC...field trip?
If you had the chance, would you go to Mars (feel free to elaborate)? Um, no, probably not. I've heard it's pretty cold there. Plus I don't like long flights. I mean, I'll go on them to go to, like, Hawaii, but I'd probably pass on Mars. Maybe that's lame or whatever, but, I mean, what is there to do on Mars? Nothing fun, I bet. It's probably like Nebraska or Fredericksburg.
I thought making this list might convince me that it is safe to eat these baby corn cobs, but I'm still not convinced. Do you know there are actual pamphlets and websites devoted to baby corn? I'm so scared right now. Baby corn frightens me almost as much as capers do.
