Any extra tidbits you want to offer: -Armadillos should be given the vote, and allowed to run for public office.
-Chicken doesn't really taste like chicken, but sort of like some other common stupid semi-flightless bird.
-The penguin bombs I set off around the house didn't really work.
-Did you know that if you took all of the rings from a box of fruit loops, and lined them up end to end, Guinness still would not care one wit about that.
