hogs in a comforter

of all the things wrong with the world, i think it all boils down to looking for something better in all the wrong places.

take pigs in a blanket, for example.

pigs in a blanket -  in and of themselves -  is an example of trying to come up with something better. what's wrong with pigs out of the blanket? 

now along comes a recipe for "hogs in a comforter." whereas pigs in a blanket are little hot dogs wrapped in crescent dough, hogs in a comforter are big sausages wrapped in a pancake. because just eating a sausage with a pancake isn't good enough.

there are countless examples in our world of someone trying to make a better mousetrap. which might not be so bad if people kept it to mousetraps. but, they don't.

they take their creativity to the ultimate place - the Creator. and they try to re-make him. re-shape him, re-define him into something a little more palatable to their tastes. or grind him up in the garbage disposer, if that's what it takes.

you don't have to make something better, folks.

it's already here.
