I will treat Gummy Bears with more respect now that I know what they’re made of.

I wonder…if you sprinkle some around every doorway and window, will they keep terrorists away? Kinda like garlic and bloodsucking vampires, yknow.

…and if you make a Christian cross from Gummy Bear material, will it serve double-duty keeping them from bothering you?

I wonder if you can cast bullets from them? Gummy-Rounds.

A staggering display of ignorance. It should be ‘which screams the louder’.

Scientists! Pah!

Oh, and McGoo – how about gum-dums?

Ah. I thought you were talking to me, Uncle B. I was going to let fly with my gummy cannon.

Outstanding, Badger!

Badger would never call you ignorant, Weas!

Mrs. Lokki loves Gummy Bears (she has a metabolism that burns calories like Potassium chlorate and is literally a size “zero”) but will only eat Haribo brand.

On a separate note, on the Wikipedia page, I was looking at the list of ‘closed’ pages, and found many that I expected but some which, like Gummy Bears,seem an odd subject for debate. Why Atlantic Records for example? Why the Chevrolet TrailBlazer?

The list of most-vandalized pages is also interesting reading – why vandalize the “Octopus” page? And why do it a LOT?

Yeah, you’re right McGoo. I had a friend once who insulted a weasel.

After a while, well, it was a long trip to the hospital every few weeks for all those years…

Lokki “why vandalize the “Octopus” page? And why do it a LOT?”

Sounds like something only a sucker would do.

I’ll be on my way, then…

Hmmm…didn’t I just hear something about ethanol production affecting the price of Haribos or something? It’s ticking some of the Yerpeans countries off, who may stop such production there.

Huh. Right you are:

Biofuel Boom Threatens Gummy Bears

“A rise in crop prices is threatening to jack up prices on gummy bears and other sweets. Meanwhile, the food and beverage industry in Germany is lobbying for government subsidies for biofuel crops to be eliminated,” reports Spiegel. “First it was tortillas in Mexico, then it was Frosted Flakes in America and recently German beer. Now the latest food to become the victim of prices pushed up by the massive shift of crops to biofuel are Germany’s beloved gummy bears. Prices of glucose, the second main ingredient in the chewy candies after sugar, rose by 30 percent in 2006. ‘We’re going to maintain current prices through the end of the year,’ Marco Alfter, a spokesman for Bonn-based gummy bear-maker Haribo, told Spiegel. But afterwards, the golden bears could get more expensive.”

The article goes on to say that for corn ethanol to replace gasoline completely in the US would require all our current farmland and 20% more.

Gah! Is there anything the Yerps won’t make out of pork?

“…would require all our current farmland and 20% more.”

Yep – and that’s not mentioning the raw material transport, processing & fermentation, and distribution of the final product. Oh, yeah, and don’t forget that the biofuels don’t replace gasoline gallon for gallon. It takes significantly more biofuel to replace gas.

Sorry, but right now, biofuels are a friggin’ pipe dream. Besides, who’s gonna tolerate a shortage of Gummy Bears? I mean, there’s priorities, folks!

Found this over at Theo Spark’s: Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines. Hope it’s useful.

Oh yeah, gummy bears….mit iodine?

That was my tagline on Usenet. Or it was somebody else’s and I admired it from afar. Anyway, I enjoyed it enough to read it to my mom over the phone. And she was like, “I don’t get it.”

So I’m like, “eagles…noble, beautiful, soar high, yet get sucked into jet engines…? Weasels, not so much?”

“No, I don’t get it.”

Sometimes I think she did that on purpose, just to wind me up. She could reduce me to incoherent, shivering rage if her obtuseness went on long enough.

If you want to end our government’s infatuation with corn-based ethanol, end the Iowa primaries or at least move them later in the year.

If you want to end your infatuation with high falutin’ philosophical imagery, talk to Weasel’s mom.

My most frustrating mom moment happened one hot summer day, many, many years ago, when I tried my best to explain something to her logically.

We lived in the northeast and didn’t have airconditioning in those days. In our two-story house, my dad had installed an industrial size squirrel cage blower in the attic as an exhaust fan to pull cool outside air through the house.

My mother kept opening the front door to our house, which was at the foot of the enclosed stairway to the second floor, rather than keeping that door closed and opening the kitchen door which would have drawn air all through the downstairs rooms on its way up and out.

When she complained that the stupid fan my father had installed wasn’t doing anything to cool the house, I patiently explained that no air was being drawn though the first floor of the house as, with the front door open, all the air came in through the front door and went directly up the stairsway. She gave me a baffled look, so I hit on a clever visual to help her – “Imagine the house is filled with water and that the fan is a pump” I said. “Now imagine a ping pong ball floating on the water.” I carefully explained the path the ball would follow… that nice bright white dot bobbing from room to room, then up the stairs and !out! through the fan.

My mother promptly went over and reopened the front door I had closed during my explanation. “My house isn’t filled with water”, she said.

Yes, she had a Master’s Degree.

I thought

First they came for the tortillas and I said nothing because I don’t eat at Taco Bell.

Then it was Frosted Flakes and I said nothing because I prefer Captain Crunch.

Then it was German beer, but I drink Tecate so I didn’t care.

Now they’re coming for my beloved gummy bears!

We HAVE to make a stand before they come for the bourbon!

I can ingest pork products while eating Gummy Bears? It’s a happy day. I don’t eat enough pork and am looking at ways to increase my consumption. Thank you, S. Weasel.

I heart Haribo Gold-Baeren. Haribo macht die Kinder froh, und Erwachsene ebenso!

Ja setzt Haribo ein Lächeln auf Ihr Gesicht!
