Odd Girl Out

I am one of those weird people. You know the ones. The one's who love the underdogs of cuisine. I put cheese on fish. I love fruitcake during the holidays. I am crazy for Lima Beans, and to me it wouldn't be autumn if I didn't have a bowl of candy corn on my desk! I love the sweet buttery taste. I love that an hour later I can still taste the sweetness, and look at the color coordination! I even wear candy striped tights in October! Oh not with every outfit mind you, just when I wear my witch dress!

Bwahahahahahahaha

The Man On The Lima Bean Can Or The Continuing Saga Of Mr. Unknown

From For Ellipsis

"The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible."

-Oscar Wilde

Do you know this man? One day in early December, 2005, this little lost man appeared on the brick fence that lines my drive-way. I have NO idea where he came from, or who he could be, but I know he has a name, I just don't know what it is. There are no children where I live, and no one else on the property has any idea how he got there. It was as if he appeared magically in the night. Perhaps he was a gift from Krampus, or maybe he is a spirit pausing on his journey elsewhere. It's a mystery. I have written about him in December's past, and some have offered their stories of explanation, but the mystery lives on. If you know who he is, please leave me the information in the comment thread, but if you would like to offer a short (2 paragraph) explanation on who he might be, feel free to be creative. If I don't find out who he is, I am considering writing to Del Monte and asking them to put his picture on cans of Lima Beans, my favorite vegetable. He looks like he would enjoy Lima Beans too. ;)
