An Intro to Corn

Valued readers,

Welcome to my first post on the Corn Hub! As you are here, I am to assume that you share my interest for and love of the miraculous vegetable known as corn. What a great vegetable! There's nothing better than coming home from a long, hard day at work to find a nice big steaming bowl of corn on the kitchen table. There's nothing more satisfying than emerging from a long day in the mountain mines, basket of solid gold corn in hand. There's nothing quite so grand as the satisfaction that comes from growing not only a tasty and nutritious vegetable, but also a true friend, one who knows only the meanings of loyalty and palatability. But I know you need no further convincing from me; you are here, afterall. So then let this be a place for us to come together and share our love of corn, to embrace our corn brothers and sisters and to put corn above all else. Now you may have heard that this was not my design as a true supporter of corn. You may, in fact, have heard that I begat this forum as a challenge to the accusations that I had neither the scrotum nor the testicles to do so. Alas, I say with grave affliction, there will always be those who seek the belittlement of our kind and our way of life. Yet we must endure, as it is what corn would have us do. But I digress. Let us not even discuss the haters on this sacred ground, but corn and corn alone! To conclude my first post, let me give you something to ponder for the upcoming election: http://pictures.thaindian.com/d/3065-2/Barack-Obama-82477938.jpg. As evidenced by this picture, the choice is not a hard one to make.

With all the warmth in my heart,

The Prospector

Prospector, prospector
Cornin' all the time
Prospector, prospector
Corn all day long
