February 2001 · Vignette — written to make a friend laugh.
In the beginning there was spaghetti. But as time wore on, the delectable faces of manicotti and calzone made their way into the spotlight. That was then. Now we have over five hundred different types of Italian cuisine that have worked their way into the hearts of every god-fearing man and woman in the universe.
Anyway, that’s all fine and good, but the real reason-the whole point of everything working the way it does-all things in the end owe their very existence to one man…Q! I know that you are trembling right now as you read the letters before your eyes, as comprehension and acceptance slowly burrow their soft heads into your stony heart… Bow down! Bow down before your god… Lick the honey that drips from his feet!
