Humor: Caring for a unicorn

by Joshua Brandenstein

Created on: February 27, 2009   Last Updated: March 05, 2009

I personally, don't care for unicorns. They're a little gamy for my liking. They really need some spices if you want to eat them properly. I prefer ketchup, but it's really up to you. They are a good addition to any barbecue, and the occasional unicorn burger is quite enjoyable, but as I said, I don't really care for unicorns myself. I would suggest more delectable treats. Like fairies and the ever-delicious hippogriff. These guys are the real flavorful and scrumptious treats.

These things I do care for. The fairy is always delicious, contrary to popular belief and taboo. Though some may consider it a form of cannibalism, I just don't think fairies are people. They've got those "wing thingies", which means they are not people (people don't have "wing thingies", just an f.y.i.) They are best served rotisserie, though, and, just like the unicorn, they aren't that bad on the BBQ. I would say they need a little salt for flavoring, that's probably about all the seasoning they need. Suffice to say, I indeed care for fairies.

The next would be the hippogriff. I actually only know this creature by name, and know very little about what exactly it is. All I know is, I ordered the sucker, and it was amazing. I suppose it is a large, aquatic bird creature (hippo + Griffin). Well, I got it fried, but there were other options available, such as rotisserie, grilled, and raw. It was juicy, chewy, but not too much, and flat-out delicious. It had the slight taste of chicken, but more than that, it had a sweet quality to it, much like honey. Did I mention how delicious it was? This description doesn't even begin to describe the cornucopia of flavors I found in the hippogriff. Needless to say, I do care for hippogriff.

Yet, the unicorn fails to satisfy the flavor and "enjoyability" I desire. There are definitely better alternatives. Save yourself the trouble and the next time you are wondering what to order, avoid the stinking unicorns. I'm also certain that it gave me food poisoning, but I'll blame that on the establishment. The thing with the unicorn, I don't understand why it's even offered. I suppose it's up to preference though. The other choices are much better, fairy and hippogriff both. As for me, I'll say it one more time; I just don't care for unicorn. (By the way, I don't have enough characters in this article to meet the limit, as there is only so much I can add to this, so I added this "by the way")
