    this is fabulous - all this time I thought just I was weird, but now I find out john and jake, my two idols, are weird too. hmmm you know supposedly the rest of the entire world just loves pears....maybe we're just a little shallow in the taste bud gene pool.

    My grandmother used to can pears. They were soooo good.
    The wet sand analogy must be referring to the high fiber content of pears :) Great image. The colors make me think of a Brueghel painting.
