Primitive blue over lack of blue jelly bean companies

[BattleHymn]

This thread is a few months old, and I stumbled on it during a routine web search.  When a thread from the DUmp pops up on any web search I'm performing, I always click on it.

Jelly Belly CEO big-time Republican
Herman Rowland is allowing Santorum to speak On "foreign policy" today. Are there any blue jelly bean companies?

Oh no!  Got to find some democrat (ideally union-made) jelly beans!  This is important!!

so that explains why, when I thought about buying jelly beans the other day, I almost lost my lunch

No, you probably almost lost your lunch because you didn't listen to your mother's advice when she told you not to stick strange or foreign objects into your mouth.  Being that you are a primitive, I'm not really interested in what said object was.

I adore black licorice JBs

And theirs is not that great.

The xanaduer primitive is clearly vying for DUmp cred by subtly e-defecating on Reagan's favorite Jelly Belly flavor (and mine, too, as a matter of fact).  Sadly, no one notices the attempt.  I also suspect this primitive meant to type 'BJs' instead of 'JBs'.

Ray Gun kept them on his desk.

The lint head primitive stops futzing around with his lint long enough to take an oh-so original stab at Reagan.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo

Why do all the junk foods I like have to be run by crazy people? First Chik-Fil-A, now Jelly Belly.

Looks like you'll have to go back to eating dirt.  Or, you could just kill yourself.

Because all junk food is made by corporations? n/t

Yes.  In fact, word has it that Jelly Belly is the favorite bean of the boogeyman.  

Although, if the boogeyman was into the disgusting abomination flavors of buttered popcorn and toasted marshmallow, I would be willing to give him those flavors in exchange for any of his licorice, tutti fruitti or cinnamon beans.

Politics are a hard dirty business

No more licorice JB for me. I'm doing it for the soul of America.

A hard dirty business, but with no more licorice BJs?

i like the popcorn flavor ones

Why am I not surprised a primitive eats one of the abomination flavors.

I have a memory of a larger, much-stronger

Licorice flavor jelly beans, but I can't remember the company's name.

Perhaps one of Flippydoo's spirit guides can help you channel your memory.

Sorry...

I love them and I don't usually let politics decide what candy I eat.

Good for you.

The dirt eaters have just about died out. When I was a kid it wasn't unusual to see blacks folks from up north picking red clay balls to eat from road banks. It was an old habit and I can't really remember why they did it.

There is a chemical in the clay that helps settle the stomach.   Some people lay it tastes good.

Is there anything these DUmmies won't politicize?

Nope, nothing I've ever seen.  It's one of the reasons the primitives are so damn funny, though.   

If you'll row over and look at the thread, you'll see that the xanaduer primitive was bumping the thread, to remind the other primitives that he/she/it was pious, and resisted the urge to buy Jelly Belly beans that day. 

Further down, when the one primitive that hopped in and basically said what all normal people would say, which is "I'll eat what I want", the xanaduer primitive takes the petty swipe of "to each their own".

I actually have a Jelly Belly vending machine on my desk. Stick any coin in, get a half dozen or so beans. When I refill it, I mix in a few of Jelly Belly's intentionally disgusting flavors ( Such as the Harry Potter themed ones) as an occasional zonk for the unlucky person.

Don't worry primitives, Ill eat the Jelly Belly beans you are now boycotting.
