Otter Pops


Man I love Otter Pops. I think I ate about six of them last night. Then I've had another two so far today. I know I'm going to keep eating the ones that I have until they are all gone, probably by the end of today. When I find something I like eating, I eat it until I can't stand it any more. Why is that? If I were smart, when I find something good, I would savor it. I would only use it when it would give me the optimum satisfaction. If every time I use this good thing I have found, it gives me less and less satisfaction, I should put off using it until my satisfaction will be at optimum level. That is the problem with us humans as a race. When we find something good, we use it frantically until it no longer exists. Where wisdom would tell us to use prudence, desire for luxury pushes us to use and harvest until nothing remains. Let's learn to use some restraint, to save our natural "Otter Pops" so that in the future, when we're sitting around thinking of the delicious frozen explosion of flavor we once enjoyed, we can walk over to the freezer, open the door, and pull out a refreshing cold one to satisfy our craving, instead of feeling that pit in our stomachs when we realize that we don't have any more, we ate them all too fast.

I have noticed that you like to "abuse your resources". Not to be a jerk, but please don't eat all the otter pops.
One more thing...I don't know if you watched "Salute your shorts", but Donkey Lips loved otter pops. Whenever I eat one I am reminded of that show then I hum the theme song to myself. Hmm hmm h-hmm hmmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm...

I have this exact problem with otter pops. For some reason they are just way more delicious than other popsicles. I like your point you make here though, we would enjoy a lot of stuff a lot more if we wouldn't abuse our resources so much.

Dammit Croonie, I love Otter Pops, I can't help it all right?! And did you ever see the "Salute Your Shorts" where Donkey Lips and his cohorts made a bundle by making bird houses made out of popsicle sticks? That also was a good one. "And when I think about you, it makes me wanna fart! It's I hope we never part, now get it right or pay the price!"

You are possibly the most inspiring author i have ever seen. However, i work at roys and one thing that you will never get sick of, when im making it anyway, is pizza. With a mind like mine, i can think up thousands of different tasty and interesting treats. Still, very good blog.
