Vulcans believe in Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations, after all, which explains the frightening number of Vulcan/non-Vulcan hybrid creatures in the universe. “Pon farr” is a myth created to make Vulcans seem like innocent people who rarely have sex. HA! ---

The 7-11 in Hegirlgan, Vermont, in an effort to appeal to its Vulcan clientele, introduced a new Slurpee flavor in 2009: Pon Farr Punch. By the time the store ran out of the flavor, and the riots died down, 70% of Hegirlgan had burned to the ground. Nine months later, over 500 new Hegirlgan residents were born (over half of them being Vulcan-Human hybrids). ---

Vermont is now home to the nation’s largest population of Vulcan-Americans. Both major political parties have been courting Vulcan-Americans to run for various political offices, but the Vulcan-Americans have consistently refused, failing to see the logic in America’s political system. ---

Donald Trump is actually one quarter Klingon, one quarter Vulcan, and one half “unknown alien species.” Which explains a lot. ---

Of the remaining “half unknown alien species” it is likely that it includes “a quarter pounder” if not the full Big Mac. ---

And that explains why Trump is always beefing, thinks he’s so special, has so much lettuce, is so cheesy, is always in a pickle, has such big onions, and looks and acts like a Sesame Street bunny muppet. ---

Sesame Street is zoned industrial but is actually a mix of residential and retail properties. Cases have been pending in its city’s zoning appeals board for more than forty years. ---

When a reporter asked Caroll Spinney why he was retiring after playing Sesame Street’s Big Bird from the beginning, he replied “I’m been doing it for almost 50 year, and my arm is tired.” ---

Caroll Spinney’s passion for puppeteering was first sparked when he was a child, listening to radio broadcasts of World War 2. One evening, he was so mesmerized by the radio broadcast, that he experienced a vision in which a hairy, green head was popping out of the top of an M18 Hellcat while it plowed through the French countryside. His vision then panned into the tank, wherein a giant yellow bird was smiling devilishly, and had his hand up the green creature’s rear end, controlling its movements. ---

Miss Piggy’s lifelong food passion has always been frog legs. She has spent her life chasing frogs just to eat their legs. Fortunately, Kermit the Frog is aware of this, as two of his brothers are now in wheelchairs due to Piggy’s appetite. ---

Neither Miss Piggy nor Winnie the Pooh are Jewish, fortunately. Miss Piggy is Hindu and Winnie the Pooh is a lapsed, stuffed, ursine member of the Church of England. ---

Fozzie Bear and Winnie the Pooh have a lifelong quarrel, due to Fozzie’s having repeatedly accidentally spilling out all of Winnie’s hunny. Oh, bother. ---

Fozzie Bear and Winnie the Pooh’s quarrel went public after Winnie the Pooh gave a nationally televised interview with Piers Morgan in which he accused Fozzie Bear of being in cahoots with ManBearPig. When ManBearPig turned out to be a hoax, Winnie the Pooh left the UK to backpack through South America with his longtime mentor (and some say lover) Paddington Bear. ---

Paddington Bear was acquitted on charges of embezzlement and defrauding his employer, Bear Sturns, in London’s Central Criminal Court last year. Apparently he hadn’t been padding his expense account a ton after all. ---

After Paddington Bear’s acquittal, he published a memoir entitled “Ursine Yarns and Threads” which he had begun during his trek through the Andes with Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh was so touched by the memoir that he was able to reconcile with long-time adversary Fozzie Bear, and the two were seen sharing a pint of mead last month at a Soho pub. ---

Fozzie Bear and Winnie the Pooh were often joined at the Soho pub by Baloo and Master Po Ping though the four of them didn’t much like it when Yogi Bear stopped by because he was always trying to steal their pic-I-nic baskets and hitting them up for Gummiberry juice. ---

Former Yankees star Yogi Berra sued Yogi Bear for trademark infringement, due to the very similar name. The court ruled in Yogi Berra’s favor, and Yogi Bear issued a formal apology, saying that it was all an administrative boo-boo.
