Time once again for the to do list and this time it's for the month of May (which is convenient since May is the next month on the calendar) Lots to do in May, concerts, shows, free stuff, festivals, benefits, walks, runs, jogs...

Lets see... Last May we did something completely different. We went with the delivery system of tasty stuff with us paying homage to the straw and it went over pretty well. Straws do carry the good stuff to it's proper location in a neat and timely fashion and they do add a little bit of fun to the whole deal so they do deserve a bow. Shakes, malts, snow cones, icees, smoothies, floats, sodas, slushees, peanut butter and jelly sammies (ok, maybe not so much with the PB&J through a straw but work with me on this one) they all get to the taste buds and your belly via the straw. Sure, you can go strawless or even use a spoon with some for them but they still all work best with the straw. Bendy straws, crazy straws, straw hats (probably not the best idea to serve up a frozen treat in a straw hat but if that's your thing have at it and knock yourself out) So maybe we will just got with the straw again. Now you may be saying to yourself that this sounds like I'm cheating, but truthfully I'm just expanding the coverage here. With all the things that are best when propelled tword the mouth with a straw, the straw brings numerous flavors and forms to the flavor of the month so I say let's do it again. This may, we will once again tip our cap to the straw and every tasty treat, frozen drink and or concoction it brings to our taste buds. Here's to the straw!
As always all chips chunks dips dunks... You know the ret are in as well.
Congrats to the straw and all the love we shall show it this month.

I'm going to preempt you and tell you that if you do that STUPID Juneteenth* thing (for June) I will ban you FOREVER and take out billboards telling everyone that Toyotas from Greg are the devil and if one buys one, one will grow horns and be forced to eat Cincinnati Chili forever in hell.

Other than that, carry on.

* Look it up.
