General Al’Purathon slouched before the open fire pit. “We traveled four-hundred light-years as conquerors,” he murmured. “Our ships are indestructible, our weapons irresistible. Yet with our finest warriors, Earth has laid us low.”
Angrily, he placed a marshmallow on a stick.
Captain Agur’Tamal opened another package of graham crackers. “It’s not your fault, General. Who could anticipate Earth possessed such a terrifying weapon?”
Al’Purathon squished a flaming marshmallow into the chocolate with a graham cracker. “Wicked it is. So pernicious!”
Agur’Tamal took a bite and his face drooped. “Who could anticipate using our crippling s’mores addiction, as a weapon?”

Dear Eric,
It’s hard to conquer a s’more. Sticky goo wins every time. Resistance is futile. Good one.
Shalom,

I’ve heard of s’mores but have never been quite sure what they are. I guess it’s an American thing, so I expect the UK was easily conquered 🙂

Cute. I wonder if this suggests marshmallows are an alien life form running galaxies away from a deadly enemy only to find out that Earth is the home planet to chocolate and graham crackers all along! No!!!
