Marzipan the Brain
(The Postal Service - Brand New Colony)

Today’s ridiculously tough question...

What do you think is of more value to you – a romantic relationship or a platonic friendship?

Please answer in no more than one page, double spaced, 1” margins!
...

I think for me it’s definitely romantic relationship platonic relationship...I don’t know. It’s like asking what’s more intelligent -- a piece of eaten gum stuck on the sidewalk or marzipan? I’d be inclined to choose the piece of gum but how can you underestimate the marzipan? I bet it could do differential calculus.

Ok...I’ll admit, I don’t know what a marzipan is.
...

You know what I value? People who understand me when I’m being my most obscure. Or people who respond to my obscurity with even more obscurity. People who just naturally think beyond the strict confines of societies mental box. I think these are my kindred spirits. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just surround yourself with kindred spirits? I know, totally utopic thinking but wonderful nonetheless.

...and now you know.

And now that we know...I'd vote for the marzipan...c'mon, it's molded into decorative shapes!
