I’m ashamed to say that I think that is only the second headline reference to Spaceballs on this blog. I’m sorry about that. I’ll do better.
Anyway, how are you? How’ve you been, Internet? Oh, really? Interesting. I’d love to hear all about that. We should get together and you should tell me about it over a nice glass of raspberry soda.
Just one glass, though. Any more than that and I fear you might fall so madly in love with this homemade soda of mine that you might never leave my house. You’d become a recluse, unable to eat or drink anything else, disheveled and sad, roaming the halls of my house moaning “Moooore Raaaaaaspbeeeerrry,” a pitiful, red-teethed, pre-diabetic shell of your former self. And I would never do that to you. Knowingly. Well, maybe. But probably not.
Now how about that drink?
