the dark story of Skippy

I never knew there was a terrible story behind the naming of Skippy peanut butter.

And I mean it: really, really terrible. The kind of terrible you can only get when you combine an unscrupulous business and a powerful government.

Oh. my. god. That is horrible. And makes me sort of glad we always bought Jif.

::stares:: Wow. I'm glad I don't eat peanut butter! But on the few occasions that I buy it, I'll be sure to never buy Skippy. ::shudders::

Damn. That's even worse than what DC did to Fawcett over Captain Marvel. Exponentially worse, in fact -- I can't believe they actually manipulated/bribed the IRS into auditing him.

YOU NEED A BOOK.

A POEM EVERY DAY

The collected poems from my descent into madness year spent writing daily poems are now available from Lulu as the cheapest 330-page book they would let me make ($16.20). If that's too pricey, you can also get it from Lulu as a free download, or just click on the "a poem every day" tag to read them here. But if you did buy one, that'd be awesome.
