Are you somehow suggesting that if Jiffy Pop is art (which I would have to completely disagree with you on) then that it is somehow less valuable to our society than if it was engineering?
Ya see, that's what's wrong with modern American society.......

The gramatically proper way sounds way too stilted and should be banned immediately, if not sooner!!

Art: Creative work or its principles; making or doing things that display form, beauty and unusual perception: art includes painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature, drama, the dance, etc.
In Jiffy there is form, beauty, unusual perception. It is a sculpture, architecture and provides drama and even a form of dance. It is not literature, but no literature is done in a jiffy.
Anyhow I have more pressing things to attend to like figuring new ways to feed billions of people chickens.
Adios.

Grammatical rules:
Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
To not split infinitives is important.
Redundancy is bad, and should also be avoided as wrong.
Using the word "so" as a synonym for "very' is so wrong.

To jiffy pop, or not to jiffy pop, that is the question.
Weather 'tis nobler to contain in original packaging, or to throw asunder into a boring, lame, idiotic, normal camping pot, that only thou canst answereth.
To pop -- aye, to pop! -- to expand the foil and simulate volcanism, then burn thy fingers. Aye, there's the rub.
I say let thy popcorn remain in the historically accurate container, and not mess with mother nature, and repackage no more! To repackage, to be a lightnik, to pop the Ray Way, hath a scientific and nerdy bent. To contain, to foil the kernels and butter of outrageous fortune, to LIVE! I say that is the way to pop, by gum, and no other popping method canst be said to be Jiffied, forsooth. Like, wow, dude. Totally cosmic.

I think we used two pots.
I ate popcorn, and it gave me something to kid you about, and a reminder of a great trip every time I take the lid off my pot..
like my mom always says, "life is carbon based..." must be good for you.

Sorry about that. You can be good at frying chickens or good at grammar, but not good at both. There needs to be a coma, a semacolon, or a schwa in the above sentence, but where I dont' know and the spell checker isn't too helpful. I've done my best. Back to the laboratory.

Yes, that was a good one.
Last year I had two very memorable trips, one with the Goat and Randy and Dave, and the other one with you, Quark, Janet, and Reese.

I'd just gotten my Ti pot, but maybe I uh, didn't bring it on that trip!
