One Whole Chook

As a vegetarian, I started a canned meat collection. The centerpiece of this caboodle is One Whole Chicken in a can without giblets packed in broth. So simple, so clear about what's in the can, it represents the pure humor that can be appreciated in canned meat. Potted meat products don't take the cheery O approached to product naming. They simple state here in this can are fish balls. If KFC took the same approach, they would label their product - "fried dead bird in a bucket" (r. chavez circa 2001). Sure, there are potted meat products that have such a variety of meat parts, it renders the name impossible to pinpoint what exactly lies in the can. For that, the name is as direct as possible. Luncheon loaf, it's a loaf of meat you have for lunch. Now if we can take the canned meat naming convention and apply it to life, maybe we could spend less time decoding what she meant by "I'm fine, honey" and more time dealing with the fact that she's pissed at you for not noticing her new haircut and how cute it looks.
