On Thursday, the Brevard County Sheriff's Department suspended Corporal Chris Wood for bringing a can of Arizona Ice Tea and a bag of Skittles to work at the Brevard County Jail on Saturday morning. He said that he was trying to send a message about the importance of keeping personal predilections about cases from affecting the work environment; instead, his superiors suspended him

So the simple act of eating Skittles is becoming a political statement..

We are getting pretty touchy, don’t you think?

So I ask, when you pick up a Paul Roberts’ Mars Inc Skittles bag, are you eating them to enjoy the taste of the rainbow, or trying to make a political statement?

MY YEARLY ODE TO MINI EGGS

Oh Cadbury Mini Eggs, I love you
You’re chocolate goodness, it’s true
You melt in a mouth and not in a hand, 
And are always fresh and never bland

Your milky goodness and your colorful bite
Can help any creature have a good night
Your Easter gift every year,
Maybe better than a cold beer

Mini Eggs, Mini Eggs, 
To you I’ll walk with faster legs
It’s time again to almost part,
I hope your chocolate will not make me fart

The Easter season will soon be gone
And with that we’ll have to say so long
In a few months, you’ll be manufactured again
Eggs of glory for women and men!

Happy Easter.

If anyone is interested in getting me an early birthday present, here is a thought: Ice Cream Chews.

I loved these candies as a kid, until one tragic event occurred when I was about 12 or 13: I ate so many of them in one night that I vomited everything inside of my body out onto myself in bed when I was trying to sleep. I guess that’s one of those horrible things that all kids have to get through.

But now, over 15 years later, and I think I’d ready to get them again.. maybe
