R.J. the Twinkie Marxist.

Not everyone should live on sugar.

Definitely don’t give them chocolate-coated ones. That could kill them.

Verne a lot of dogs will eat almost anything . Time to rethink what you just told RJ ;-)

I didn’t realize that RJ is a Marxist.

I’ve lost all respect for him.

“Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”

Also, no one needs twinkies, so RJ had better reconsider that quote.

And RJ’s quote never worked in real life either, anywhere on earth.

Dogs shouldn’t eat Twinkies. It’ll kill them.

Dogs shouldn’t eat twinkies. They’ll run around all sugar spastic, then drag their butts on the carpet.

Not related, but fun to watch.

Okay, Verne, now you’re just being a total killjoy.

The only problem with that is others decide your need, which likely doesn’t align with your own perception. So, “No Twinkies for you! Red beans and rice and roasted turnips is what you need.”

We pretty much know what RJ’s needs are. (OK, “wants” if you wish to be specific). But what are his abilities?
