The Mount Rushmore

of

Mozzarella Slices From the Half-Pound Bag of Mozzarella I Bought at the Deli in Preparation for Tasting & Consuming the Guava Colombian Treat that Was Recommended to be Paired with Mozzarella Cheese

This Mount Rushmore, though illustrious, will certainly have its skeptics and objections from the ignorant. They will protest with such ridiculous questions like, “How can you say these were the Mount Rushmore-worthy slices of cheese if you had not the ability to eat them first? And if you had ate them first, then you obviously would not have had the chance to photograph them beforehand, unless you had photographed every 4-cheese combination in the bag in preparation for choosing a Mount Rushmore, which we know you did not do because in that case the cheese slices would need to be marked in order to identify which combination was the Mount Rushmore—and these cheese slices are clearly not marked.”

While good, decent Mount Rushmore scholars who have studiously studied previous Mount Rushmores because they know the importance of history to the present, such as the ever-relevant Mount Rushmore of Colombian Sweets Given to Me By My Colombian Students On Their Last Day of Class Before They Moved Across the Country, would never stoop to asking such a long, drawn-out self-absorbed question, such annoying naysayers from the opening paragraph are party poopers who always like to frame things in terms of Catch-22s.

Yet Joseph Heller never once wrote, at least in published format, the phrase “Sweet Livin’.”

So we here at Sweet Livin’ Productions will not be limited by Catch-22 scenarios.

But we will still answer the ignorant question from above straightforwardly and directly.

We knew that those Mozzarella cheese slices were Mount Rushmore-worthy because of a simple thing called faith.

And another simple thing called trust.

If you can’t have faith and trust in mozzarella cheese slices, what cheese slices can you have faith in?

That may sound like a rhetorical question, for now—and it is.

But it also may sound like a non-rhetorical question when considering longer-term global changes and forces that can only be answered through the construction of another Mount Rushmore—and it is.

When the world needs such a Mount Rushmore focused on faith and trust-based cheese slices, we will construct it.
