Methinks Scottie is cracking up. And now i'm definitely gonna change my
diet if i'm in the same group as someone who claims that Nixon (this
perverted personification of Ambition) was one of the greatest presidents.
That is unless, of course, greatness is defined by the number of people one
kills.

'... I love this story, too, and it kills me to see it dismissed ...'
'... Doesn't it, though? It kills me too ...'
EEEEUUUUGHGHGHGH ... Too blush-making,
darling. Too, too blush-making ...
Like the little boy in the cartoon pushing away his spinach
or like John gagging over his peas, I say this is slush & I say
the hell with it.
And like the greatest President of modern times, I too am a pea lover.
While fully respecting John's distaste, I must say I've always found
them the one truly constant reliable among all the green edibles.
Those gorgeous little emerald succulents - they go with everything:
meat, poultry, fish, egg dishes, as additions to salad, thrillingly
blended
in variants of warming parmentier or refreshing vichyssoise. Or even,
at a pinch, added to Bessie's lovingly-ladled chicken broth. Where
would we mothers be without them?
And what can possibly underlie John's aversion? Is it based on some
personaly traumatic experience or is there a darker symbolic import?
In these saccharine environs, of course, & despite one's best efforts,
one begins to have a sinking feeling it may have some connection
with the cute double barrelled usage we associate with childhood.
Wise, innocent, knowing, glory-trailing childhood.
Scottie B.
