Served Handily

One or two of you may remember last year around this time when I consumed Penelope Pineapple, one of the elite members of the World’s Largest Gummi Bear™ club.

Since then millions of people (give or take a million people) have asked me what my next big eating adventure will be. I am happy to report that the makers of the WLGB have provided me with not one, but two next big adventures. And I am requesting your help in choosing which one I will go on first.

Choice #1: The World’s Largest Gummi Worm™

The World’s Largest Gummi Worm™ is the next logical step in the evolution of big gummi. I love gummi worms, more than gummi bears actually. I think it’s because they are multi-flavored and always seem to stay fresher longer.

There are multiple gummi worm flavors. After carefully consideration (there were ten to choose from) I decided on the combination of cherry and apple. It measures 24.5 inches long, 1.75 inches wide and 1.5 inches tall. It smells good.

Choice #2: The Gummi Brain

I don’t know if this is considered the world’s largest gummi brain. They don’t package it with that title the way they do for the bear and the worm, so I don’t want to assume. Regardless, it’s big. So big, in fact, that it has to wear shades.

How cute is that?

Gummi Brains only come in one flavor: pink tropical fruit. That’s going to be a little bit of a challenge. I like tropical fruit flavor, and I like eating gummi, but will I like the two of them together in such a large quantity? I’m not sure.

So, faithful readers, the choice is yours. Do I eat the gummi worm or gummi brain first? I plan to start eating this Saturday, so please let me know your thoughts in the comments section soon.

Also, don’t forget to vote for which gummi Ben should eat first. This is important folks. It may very well be the most important decision you make this minute.

Late Late Show Highlights

Craig is back after two weeks off on vacation. Let’s see how he’s doing over at the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson:

The pre-opening credit segment wasn’t anything to call home about. So we’re going to skip picking up this phone.

Here were my favorite monologue jokes:

A great day for America, but not a great day for my friend Paris Hilton. Over the weekend she was arrested for cocaine possession. Now in her defense, it was in Las Vegas. In Vegas cocaine is served at the breakfast buffet.

Police found cocaine in Paris’ purse. They became suspicious when that little dog she keeps in there was seen with a rolled up dollar bill.

Two weeks is a long time for me to be away. This studio was totally dark and quiet. Then I went away on vacation.

A lot happened while we were off. Let’s see, Americans were told to stay away from tainted eggs. By the way, “Tainted Eggs” is the name of a club over there in West Hollywood.

They had to recall a half-billion eggs. That’s not easy. You try and putting an egg back up a chicken’s butt.

The desk segment was tweets and emails. It was really entertaining.

Adam Goldberg was the couch guest. I’m not sure if he was on the show to promote any projects. They never got around to discussing any if he was. The interview reminded me of a Seinfeld episode: it was a lot of fun to watch, but was about absolutely nothing. If you have 14 minutes and a burning desire to watch Craig doing what he does best, then here you go:

Chief was the musical guest. They did a really nice job.

The closing segment was decently funny:

Good show. I give it:
