Was there a candy corn sortage this Halloween. I could not find
any anywhere. I think the stores ran out early.

2. I think we need a candy corn stimulus bill.
About 800 billion pieces of candy corn should do it. Do you think the GOP would go for it?

3. Lots of rain during the planting season doomed the candy corn crop
this year out here in Iowa. Most of the candy corn in Iowa is grown in the funny part of Iowa west of I35.What was able to be planted suffered under an incredible blast of hot air from the Steve (crazy) King campaign.

4. Maybe Kings mouth would be a great source of energy to
heat homes this winter. I would like to see him installed on a roof somewhere.

5. A lot of corn is diverted to methanol
Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 09:39 PM by JustABozoOnThisBus
unintended consequence of flex-fuel vehicles.

:cry:

edit to add: er, wait, no, it has nothing to do with the scarcity of candy-corn, only with the scarcity of Jack Daniels.

:cry: :cry:

7. When will the candy politicians realize that converting candy corn to...
candy methanol only creates a candy commodities bubble?

8. I think my wife may have been responsible.
When I got home last weekend, nearly every flat surface had bowls full of the stuff. My wife doesn't even eat it! She considers it a perfect decorating thingy for Halloween.
