Why this must be read:
As a yankee living in the south, there are several things I've never understood. How people can like going outside in weather that's over 100 degrees F, for one. Chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken for another. Actually, fried food in general. Really, do we need to fry twinkies and cheesecake? Must one go to the state fair when it's nothing but livestock and fried food? So much mystery. So much lack of common sense. So many 'y'all's that you just want to run screaming back to New England's lack of r's! Or at least back to California where 'duck and cover' meant not getting made fun of for hiding under a desk (which is proper earthquake procedure) instead of proper tornado drill procedure of going out in the hallway. Yes, I am still bitter about that.
Grits, however, have their own level of mysticism. I've watched friend after friend order it at restaurants and have yet to understand its gooey appeal. It's the white paste that everyone seems to adore, and yet an outsider like myself can't help but think it has its own hidden agenda to take over the world. I have personally experienced several nightmares of gooey death in all manner of undignified ways. Well, not really. But I'm sure I will now that I've made it overly melodramatic and befitting of a Doctor Who plot.
Anyway, this is the classic story of a Time Lord experiencing new cultures and making some very bad Civil War innuendo. Because the world always needs more Civil War innuendo. Let's face it. You know you want more. And since this explanation of why you should read it is well over twice the drabble's length, I shall leave it at that.
