And now, the grand finale of the DCRCIJS! Well, you can judge for yourself how "grand" it is. But it's DEFINITELY the finale.
The good news, maybe-kinda, is that this is a Bob-Gregory-penned story. This wasn't written in his egregiously dumb period, so there's a certain modest level of quality guaranteed, but I wouldn't call this one of this best efforts. And, even knowing nothing about the specifics of the story, "Mangomoa" might give you vague misgivings. And, spoiler, those are not unjustified. But we'll get there when we get there.
But before we do that, why not make yourself some beachy snacks to munch on? "Sprouting apples" is just odd. I'm sorry, but I'm just not convinced it is a favorite with the gang. It's not like apples, celery, and peanut butter is a weird or unappealing combination, but somehow cramming all that stuff into a whole apple just seems...excessive. Do you really want to eat all that? Well, especially if you're a kid, you probably find it preferable to "carrot and olive dumbbells," which seems to have been created just because it looks like a thing. Are you really going to find this delicious? Olives are kind of an acquired taste, and unless you're one of those weird kids who grew up eating healthy food, I have my doubts. On the other hand, en gee el, that "pickle in a blanket" sounds kinda delicious to me. Yes, that might make me weird, but I like all the ingredients (no, I don't eat bologna, but acceptable vegetarian facsimiles are easily obtained). Maybe I'll try making one of these.
