Shedeur Hail Mary This Papaya

-

No country name on the sticker. Why?
Anyway, chop all this fruit and have yourself a fruity breakfast or lunch. One year-old babies love mashed papaya. 

I need a Hail Mary for this paw paw (papaya). I must call Shedeur Sanders so that he can help me with that, to make sure this fruit is sweet. It’s so painful to peel oranges and paw paw, only to find they are bitter or bland. Grapes can be disappointing too. No guarantee at all.

I don’t know what a Hail Mary is exactly but apparently, Shedeur threw a Hail Mary on 21 September that made Colorado Buffaloes burst the bubble of the visiting Baylor Bears. I don’t like rehashing things I don’t understand therefore, I will touch base with my #1 American football-go-to @Thaddboii (on all social media platforms). He will tell me what a Hail Mary is.

But why do I need a Hail Mary for this papaya? Because something is amiss. The sticker on the fruit has a number, but it doesn’t have a country name. Why? Trying to hide something, are we? All foreign fruit and veg have a country of origin on the sticker. I will be disappointed if this papaya is not sweet, but there is always that possibility as I explained above.

I need a Hail Mary in case there’s something sinister going on with this papaya. Which country does it come from? Why are they hiding it? Mama must be laughing in her grave. She had a paw paw tree in the backyard, and we could tell when it was time to fetch a long stick and nudge that yellow football from the tree. Lord! That sweetness was guaranteed. No Hail Mary needed.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
