In Defense of Our Good Name

Dessert tickets is a really good name. Here's why.

First, conversations over meals are the stuff that hold us together, in a practical sense. Some days they're the most stimulating part of my day. Some days they're even the only part of the day worth getting out of bed for.

But they can only really last so long. Sitting in the caf with the remains of the meal congealing on the tray with nothing but talk to sustain you--the talk is like a fire, and needs some kind of fuel to give it justification and prolong its life.

Dessert does that. Cup after cup of coffee, bowls of Jell-O, those weirdly starchy cookies, perhaps a Nanaimo bar--these are the things that prolong and enable engaging discussion.

And dessert tickets are thus the currency of conversation.

peace bitches.

PS. this random thought is an example of how i hope everyone uses this. or at least bernice. you know what i'm sayin.
