I think raisins are weird. They're like eating the face of a tiny old person.
If anything, this simile makes me like raisins even more. Especially golden ones.

My wife and literally her entire family despise raisins with a passion I usually reserve for cilantro. I think they're pretty decent.

Further to Flex's apt observation, I was once in history seminar with a guy (who has since grown up to be a tenured history professor) who gave a presentation on some English battle in 16whatever. Apparently there was a shortage of quality young men, so anyone and everyone was called to duty, including the aged. Len described the whole thing as a "march of the raisins." So perfectly I remember it over twenty years later.

I'm making a STAND for raisins.

Come on down and eat your raisins
Come on down and make a stand
Come one down, come on down...

We have soft cookies over here, they're not exclusive to America. My girlfriend buys ones that are bigger than a human's head. I'm trying to quit biscuits at the minute, it's tough.

Whenever I think of England I think of soft cookies bigger than a humans' head. Then the Beatles.

Scienticians believe that's what actually killed Stu Sutcliffe: his head was made of cookie. Unfortunately he died in Germany and, well, being a nation of cannibals, they broke off his head and ate it with coffee.

Wait, they sent him to Germany after they caught him for killing those women in Yorkshire?

Right. They sent the Beatles we know to America; they sent Sutcliffe to Germany. Pete Best was sent to Vietnam, where he changed his name to Ho Chi Minh. Secret history!
