Dear Arthur Sulzberger,
I write to inform you of some blatant and dire PLAGIARISM on behalf of your newspaper today. In an article entitled "Having a Snack? Make It a Holiday," Kim Severson steals some pretty intense and original ideas from a series of SnackManiac posts, specifically one dated April 15th, entitled "grilled cheese-gate: a Snackspose."
While your piece has some delightful anthropomorphic snack cartoons, it also contains the intellectual property of SNACKMANIAC. My tipster and I expounded on the thesis of why PB&J only gets a day, while other foods get a whole month.
I know that competition is fierce in today's media marketplace and that, surely, SnackManiac challenges your writers to work just a little bit hard for their Pulitzers everyday, but Artie, seriously, a don't think a snack-tation would have been too much to ask.
Sincerely,
SnackManiac

What perv came up with "Sneak Some Zucchini on Your Neighbor’s Porch Night"?
Sounds like some peeping tom's lame defense when the cops responded to a trespassing complaint.
"And whether you eat turkeys or simply admire them, prepare to party. June is Turkey Lovers’ Month, too."
Thankfully I did not accept the job with a to-remain-unnamed Turkey Lovers' group. I would rather enjoy the lazy days of summer than have to pimp turkey to the country throughout the month of June.
If June is Turkey Lovers' month, then what in the huckleberry is November? Mashed Potato Lovers Month?!
Where I come from, June is Freeze Pop Lovers' month.
