I don’t want the yowls and growls of spotted little furry creatures…
Spotted little furry creatures…
Why, I don’t think I’ve quite seen anything like them. Look at the depth!
Look at the patterns! Why, they’re practically works of art!
And just what I need to complete my collection!
You know what? I’ve changed my mind. I’ve been without a pet long
enough. No one to play with.
I can’t wait to wear…..I mean, care for all the little puppies.
I’ll buy the whole litter! How much?
I was robbed!
I spent the whole night waiting for the Great Pumpkin when I could
have been out for tricks or treats! Halloween is over and I missed it!
You blockhead!
You kept me up all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin and all that
came was a beagle!
I didn’t get a chance to go out for tricks or treats! And it was all your
fault! I'll sue!
What a fool I was. I could have had candy apples and gum! And cookies
and money and all sorts of things!
But no, I had to listen to you! You blockhead. What a fool I was.
Trick or treats come only once a year. And I miss it by sitting in a
pumpkin patch with a blockhead. You owe me restitution!
But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of
things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism
designating it so.
But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the
discovery and defense of the new.
Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a
singularly unexpected source.
To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my
preconceptions is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my
core.
In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's
famous motto: Anyone can cook.
But I realize that only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not
everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from
anywhere.
It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius
now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less
than the finest chef in France.
I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.
Your reward will be ten thousand of these. (He flips through a stack of
money).
Think it over, will you.
A new house for your family, and good food and comfort for the rest of
their lives. And don't forget the name: Everlasting Gobstopper.
