Did anyone see that movie “Snakes On A Plane” ?

I have not.

But, I know that in the movie a flight attendant microwaves a snake. And one of the buttons on the microwave says ‘Snake’.

Ever seen a snake microwaved? Don’t try this at home kids.

Finally, I’ve shared this photo before, but it is screaming to be included here.

Not to be confused with:

Love this.

I think I’ve managed the equivalent of jumping the shark here.

Enough! Let’s Bake.

These are cute little fellows that will keep you company for countless hours, until you eat them.
