Soundtrack: "I'm the Man" by Buck-O-Nine

Threat for the Week: "When X-Day comes ... what side of the saucers will YOU be on?"

Today's entry will be a bit short-handed, taking off on the style of Omri and other masters of minimalism. This is not only because I wish to deliver more amazing philosophical significance for your buck, but because I am on a library computer, and people are staring at me since I'm humming "I'm the Man" while I type. It IS my soundtrack after all. So rather than my usual cavalcade of the unusual, the absurd, and the insane, I am going to offer, for a limited time only, a moment of pure Zen.

I had a rare epiphany when I saw a bottle of Minute Maid Pink Lemonade sitting on a ledge one morning.

It had a bright yellow banner to one side of the main label graphic which read, in exuberant font, "MADE WITH REAL LEMONS!"

In the hollow-headed clarity which comes only when a cosmic wind blows a draft of the Pipe your way, I read something entirely different:

"MADE WITH REAL PINKS!"

If you don't find that startling ... you won't. Until X-Day comes.

Adieu.
