I love Hostess.. You Love Hostess.. But Do You Know This?

Hostess, Ho Ho, fruit pies, I love hostess

While on my Mission trip to Joplin Missouri.. I got in a little bet with some kid.. (let's  just call him "The Doubter").  ANY WAY.. The Doubter told me that Hostess Ho Ho's come in packages of 2.

Clearly this is a rack of Ho Ho's.. and you can see the "3 cakes" right on the package.  I told "The Doubter" he must have these confused with Ding Dongs (above the Ho Ho's) that clearly come in packages of 2.

Then he tried to tell me that the Ho Hos come in a box in packages of two.  If you  look closely at the package.. they say "10 individually wrapped cakes".

I explained to The Doubter that perhaps he was confused with Little Debbie "Swiss Rolls".  He reassured me that he was not confused.  But check out that labeling… "Twin Wrapped".

Just in case  "The Doubter" doesn't believe me.. here's proof one more time.

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders – The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" – but only slightly less well-known never make a bet with a chubby girl when HOSTESS is on the line!"  (name that movie)

On the Way to Kansas City We Saw Superman?

The Man and I were headed back to Kansas City (from our trip to Saint Louis) when we saw what we thought was a guy playing a ukulele in a Superman costume with something white on his face. We knew THAT COULDN’T be what we saw, so The Man took the next exit thinking he would flip a U-Turn in the grass so we could get a better look at the guy.

I-70 has those wire things so you can’t turn.. So we drove….

and drove…

and drove….

8 miles to the next exit ramp.

Only to drive about 7.5 miles back to see this:

Huh.. it looks like a guy in a blue suit.. let’s see if we can make that clearer..

.. not so good let’s see if we can do better than that..

Vindication! We maybe old.. but we really did see Superman playing a ukulele on I-70..

and he did have a white beard! The only way this photo could be better? If he was holding
