Blog Guy, I went to dinner last night with friends here in Colombia. The restaurant must have been in a skyscraper, because when we looked down, everything looked like ants!
You were looking at the dishes on your table, and they WERE ants. This is the season when they eat huge ants in various ways in Colombia.
No way!
Way.
Gulp. I guess thats why the menu only offered two choices - the Red Special and the Black Special?
Thats right. It also explains why you didnt take food with you on your picnic, just some Ant Jemima syrup. And have you gone to a movie while you were there?
Uh, yeah. Why?
When you opened your Raisinets, did they come out of the box a lot easier than usual?
Yes. I think Im going to be sick now.
Then my work here is finished.
