3 Feb. “Cordova Ice Worm Day”

“In protest of the grave injustices that have been inflicted upon that poor defenseless creature, I hereby refuse to ever eat meat or wear any animal product again!” proclaimed Sue
“…What? What are you talking about?” asked John
“I am talking about that majestic creature you just slaughtered!!”
“Huh? I haven’t killed anything.”
“Yes you have! You just ruthlessly murdered a rare and almost extinct creature!” shouted Sue on the verge of hysterics.
“I still don’t understand, Sue, what on earth has you so worked up?” John scratched his head, confused about the turn the conversation had taken.
“Murderer! Is that how you treat your crime? Pretend to not know that you just stepped on a Cordova Ice Worm?!” Sue pointed at a small squished worm on the ground. “There are only fifteen million of them left; they are the only creatures keeping back Global Warming!”
“Wait a minute now, you’re saying that this worm prevents Global Warming? That’s ridiculous.”
“Ridiculous, my concern for the environment is ridiculous to you?” Accusingly, Sue crossed her arms and waited for an explanation.
“No your being convince that this…Corona Ice Worm—“.
“Cordova Ice Worm!” Sue cut in.
“This Cordova Ice Worm stops the climate change” John attempted to reason with the clearly insane woman.
“Why do you think it’s called an Ice Worm, dummy? It makes ice.” Said Sue in an obviously useless attempt to knock some sense into the thick skulled John.
“Somehow I doubt that this work has magical ice making powers, I think it just lives around ice, like this glacier we’re standing on.”
“I won’t stand for any more of this! You’re a horrible person John, making fun of that poor little worm! We’re through!” Sue stomps off filled with righteous anger at her now ex-fling. Squashing fifteen worms in her fury.

Happy Cordova Ice Worm Day! Please don’t step on too many, they’re had to find this far south!
