I have mixed feelings about pistachios.
I love the taste, but I hate the mess
of it.

the peeling, the flakes under your fingernails,
the pile of shells,
all make you look like a gropey glutton.

but it tastes
so
de-
*******
-licious.

so whenever I eat them, I get a sensation
of half pleasure
and half disgust
in every bite.

it's the most balanced thing i've found in life
so far.
