Today is the day before Thanksgiving. It seems only appropriate that I do a show in honor of this made up holiday. I thought for a bit: Should I do a show about the things I am thankful for? Should I play music about family and friends? Should I cover Thanksgiving themes of tolerance, perseverance, survival, the union of former and future enemies? Nope. I threw together a bunch of songs about food.
Here are a few fun facts about food:
-Food makes up 90% of the average giraffe's diet
-When looking in a mirror, food actually has two reflections the second of which can only be perceived by the mentally insane, adding to their confusion.
-Breakfast, while comprised of food, is not itself food, but is the most important meal.
-Foodies are annoying
-In Soviet Russia, food eats you!
