The One Where Verne is Awesomely Annoying

Verne’s super power is logic.  Which when applied to a sketchy evil plan to unleash chaos on the universe (or a cartoonist who’s written himself into a corner)  is fairly effective.  The rest of the time it’s just annoying.

Verne is the Mr. Spock of Over the Hedge.

Except without the Vulcan nerve pinch or the every seven year blood lust mate or die ritual of Pon Farr.

Sigh.

Snack Long and Prosper

Here are the listed  ingredients in a Twinkie:

Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour [Flour, Reduced Iron, B Vitamins (Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Folic Acid)], Corn Syrup, Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable and/or Animal Shortening (Soybean, Cottonseed and/or Canola Oil, Beef Fat), Whole Eggs, Dextrose. Contains 2% or Less of: Modified Corn Starch, Glucose, Leavenings (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda, Monocalcium Phosphate), Sweet Dairy Whey, Soy Protein Isolate, Calcium and Sodium Caseinate, Salt, Mono and Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Soy Lecithin, Soy Flour, Cornstarch, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Sorbic Acid (to Retain Freshness), Yellow 5, Red 40.

And here’s what they look like:

If we are what we eat – and you eat enough Twinkies – then by RJ’s logic he’ll live long as a Twinkie.  Which, like the universe, is infinite and everlasting.  A-men.

Or at least RJ’s bloated corpulent corpse will be well preserved as a warning to future generations to eat their vegetables and stay off the crack.

I mean, snack.
