Growing Mojitos and Voter Fish Registration

Relaxing last Saturday night consisted of:

*Sitting on my couch reading Thomas Hobbes’ “Of Commonwealth” (for fun).

*Drinking a mango Mojito whose label read “Premium Malt Beverage with the natural flavors of Mango and Mojito”. Then, (obviously) pondering where the Mojito grows naturally, and from what sort of plant does it come, and who are the industrious people who grow and sell them to the likes of me.

*Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers are warbling political commentary from the TV in the background. Poehler is wondering why a goldfish named “Princess Nudleman” is a registered voter, but then settles that It is due to the fact that Princess Nudleman is the “most awesome gold fish name ever”.

All of these circumstances lead to the inclination to write them down, if for no other reason than to have record of a moment, that when thought about too long, is both funny and slightly sad.
