My first reaction was that the snack shop owner was making a snarky political statement. My second reaction was that it was a clever marketing ploy. Then I read the comments and found this:

Typical Fat American (Monday, 18 Jul 2011)

Below that was a link to a “how to” video by the guy who figured it out:

Is this a Great Country or what? Why NOT deep fry Kool-Aid? Just two rhetorical questions that may or may not be answered on The Overnight Open Thread.

Been quiet here the past few nights. Lotta stuff’s been going down, what with the Little League Finals, Obama kicking the crap out of Irene, and Lady Gaga’s attempt to coopt the MTV Music Awards by pretending she has a penis.

Earlier, this blog reported that at least one journalist in Washington D.C. has eaten shit, Lutherans believe that the Papacy represents the Anti-Christ, and that if  you’re a communist/nazi/anarchist gun-smuggling drug-dealing prostitute/pimp rapist with ties to terrorist organizations who is involved in human trafficking and has first hand experience torturing prisoners you still may be eligible to get a Green Card.

No one can deny that The Blogmocracy certainly has its moments, and that at least some of those moments may be found on The Overnight Open Thread.

The Influence of The Pueblo

When I was a kid I was fascinated by the culture and traditions of ancient American Indians.

Growing up in Ohio presented a lot of opportunities to see the physical evidence of their existence, including earthworks, found arrowheads, ancient oak trees grown twisted from when they were saplings, bent to mark Indian trails. Two of my ancestors were captured by Indians in the wilderness of the Ohio territory (their story is recorded) but that’s irrelevant to this post.

The point is that the Pueblo just creeped me out. Something went seriously wrong with these guys – too much mescal, or maybe it was just the heat that tweaked them. I can understand wearing wolf-head adornments, eagle feathers and buffalo skins, but putting clay pots on your head and doing the wubba wubba dance is damn spooky.

Let’s dodge those nightmares and move onto something really disturbing:
