The Mysteries of Life #1

It just popped into my head that there are many things in life that are a mystery to me. Now, they may be easily explained with a little research on the interweb. But shit who has time for that? So I came up with a series of blog posts called "The Mysteries of Life". Every once in a while I will post a subject that absolutely baffles me and will discuss it. You get the idea. With that said...

Pecan Pie



I do not understand pecan pie. No I get the concept of it, being all delicious and what not, but I don't understand what that brown goo is that holds everything together. It literally has the consistency of something a little more watery than jell-o yet is solid enough to be cut into slices and not melt into some gelatinous form. I think this answers my question.

It's quite obvious actually. Whoever makes these pies is a magician. I mean, it explains a lot being that I have never ever met anyone who actually makes a pecan pie. I always have to get it somewhere else. And I, in fact, do not know any magicians personally. This is all making sense now.

You know what that brown mystery goo reminds me of? The pink slime in Ghostbusters 2, except brown of course. In fact, I hear if you play some Jackie Wilson for a pecan pie, it apparently dances.

By the way... Merry Christmas everyone!
