I think if people actually thought I was trendy, I might just sit down and cry.

A cut-up strawberry–one freakin’ strawberry!–plus a cut-up sponge… Is this somebody’s idea of a joke?

I’m trying to get my view numbers back up to where they’re supposed to be, but the popular culture just won’t play ball. I mean, come on, what’s next–live crickets in shoe polish? Can you still buy Kiwi shoe polish?

I don’t think I want to know what the other four dishes are. First you know trendy; then the next thing is, you’re trying to be trendy. I wish to avoid this.

This is a baby kiwi in a zoo somewhere. He still needs some help feeding himself, but he’ll learn.

Kiwis, native only to New Zealand, are birds with certain characteristics found in mammals, not birds. Marrow in their bones, for instance: other birds’ bones are hollow. And the feathers are very much more like hair than feathers.

Remember Kiwi shoe polish? Back when everybody had to shine his shoes–none of this wearing sneakers to school (or church!). I wonder why they named a shoe polish for the kiwi. This was the brand we always used at our house, when I was growing up.
