RJ’s Top 1 Thing That Is More Important Than a Twinkie

1.  Making sure there’s a second Twinkie

 

No Unicorn, No Cry

Another way too long storyline is over.   And Verne survived.

Again.

Barely.

It’s a good thing too.  Because Zeus is allergic to turtle sacrifices.  He breaks out in hives and sneezes a lot causing him to drop thunderbolts all higgly-piggly on innocent mortals and frying them into tiny piles of ash.

To sum up:  Twinkies are safe and Verne didn’t die in vain and cause our loved ones to kiss our ash goodbye.*

*Yeah, I went there.

Twinkie Resurrection: Day Five, Permissible Rodent Hairs

We’ll gloss over why and how RJ has a mobile mass spectrometer so we can bring you a partial accounting of the FDA’s list of permissible contaminants (from Wikipedia);

Twinkie Deathwatch: Day Six, Yodeling Spleens

According to someone over in the discussion thread at comics.com The Yodeling Spleens were a mid 80′s punk band from Burlington, Vermont.

And as we all know, if it’s on the internet it must be true.

Twinkie Deathwatch: Day Five, Survival of the Snackiest

Twinkies actually only have a shelf life of 25 days.*

*Biblical days (one day equals 1 billion years).

Twinkie Deathwatch: Day Four, Wait, What?

At the equator the earth spins at 1038 mph.  A sudden stop at that speed would send everything down to the bedrock continuing in motion at 1038 mph.   The only safe place would be at the North and South poles where the spin speed is always zero.   So, in the case of an actual end to Twinkie production we should all move to the poles.

This has been courtesy safety message from the Emergency Twinkie Disruption System.  In the event of an actual emergency you most certainly will be airborne. So, there’s not much point in worrying about it.

You’re welcome.

Again.

Twinkie Deathwatch: Day Two, The Snack Cake Standard

My logic here is a bit off.  If you’re going to base your monetary system on something (which is a bad idea for a lot of reasons) it should be something relatively rare like gold or silver.   Twinkies are fairly plentiful – at least right now.  Of course, if there were a Twinkie Standard one would assume you’d need to stockpile Twikies in some sort of Twinkie Ft. Knox resulting in at least a short-term shortage.  In fact a Twinkie Standard could require the nationalization of any private Strategic Twinkie Reserve such as RJ’s.  So, perhaps, it’s not completely off base.

Bottom line?  You probably shouldn’t rely on a comic strip featuring talking animals with thumbs for accurate information on monetary policy.

You’re welcome.
