I'm not Mae West, though, so instead, I thought this would be the appropriate place to share some other vengeful veggies that make delightful all-in-one meals.

My initial personal interpretation of this piece was that an individual can only stay afloat and vibrant throughout life's turbulence if they are held by a flourishing support system. The ground seems solid, but it is water that gives life. It's also water that is ever changing in form although consistently reliable. I first thought of the importance of a supportive family when I read this, but I can also see how this could refer to friendships, relationships in the work environment or even, as dream interpreters and Freud might have it, an ample intimate life.

Don't think of it as unethically Goodwill, think of it as direly resourceful. Some people mall even consider it antique chic. Either way, we are all stuck in these less than ideal situations in the more awkward times in our life and we must simply make lemonade. I typically make mine with Ketel. It helps was away the residual pain of whatever nasty thing it was that ran through my mind (like teen burps) while committing the resourceful act. Rope sounds delightfully crafted, although upwards of 1,000 feet of it does sounds a bit excessive. It really only takes about 6 feet, but I digress. Also, if you're interested in the things that take place in eleven minutes intervals, I would recommend speaking to Paolo Coelho, as his novel on the topic so beautifully paints a touching and sensual picture in the cinema of the mind. On a final note, I'd like to add that you are not old or unloved. You're perhaps a bit dirty from time to time (obviously, with lines like "I'm a producer") but that's what makes you fun.
