Inauguration of the Blog

In honor of my URL, this first post is dedicated to that most delicious of foods, the incarnation of ambrosia in the modern world: Pocky.

Though I am still unsure of how to pronounce it--I've heard "Pawky" as well as "Pokey"--it is nevertheless my favorite by far. And, as of this moment, I would like to say that if you have not tasted the unspeakable goodness that is Pocky, you are missing out, and must therefore go forth and seek this Holy Grail of foods.

I don't think there has been a word invented that can adequately convey the perfection of Pocky. It is beyond scrumptious, beyond delectable, beyond any other currently existing word. For example, earlier I said it was delicious. I was wrong. Pocky isn't delicious; delicious is Pocky. If I had to choose only one food for the rest of eternity, Pocky would be that food. If I die, it will be because of over-consumption of Pocky because, obviously, Pocky grants immortality except in excess.

To further demonstrate the power of Pocky, let me relate this anecdote. I was taking a Multivariable Calculus quiz, when I got stuck on a problem. I tried for 10 minutes, and I couldn't discover how to do it; I didn't even know where to start. So I reach into my backpack, take out a pack of Pocky, and start munching. Immediately, an idea hits me! I try it and, voila, I solved the problem in under five minutes.

Therefore, Pocky is amazing.
