The One With Mr. Spock

Or logically insane.

Here Comes Your Sun

RJ braids logic into long strands of tasty Twizzlers that he snacks on to keep his blood sugar up between bouts of arguing with Verne.

It’s an adaptive survival technique.

The One With Carrot Thins

In RJ’s hands, logic is a twisty-tie around his middle finger he uses to remind himself that he is and always will remain the center of the universe.

 

RJ + Logic = Scary

Quite an astute observation from RJ. Shows when he gets his brain out of the fridge (from behind the cocktail onions) and actually uses it, he gets impressive results. Of course, as soon as a little brain induced introspection about his multi-slacker ways starts, it’s right back in the fridge with the grey matter.

Brains: You can’t super snack with ’em… and you can’t parse silly riddles without ’em.

 

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.
