An Open Letter to Lava
Saturday, August 16th, 2008
Dear Lava,
I love you. I know it has taken me a long to say it, but it’s true. Volcanoes are cool because you made them cool. I tried to imagine a world where different things were produced from volcanoes. Even when I imagined a fantasy land where volcanoes shower sleepy island villages with piping hot tacos from the earth’s core, I had to admit that on the coolness scale, you were still superior. I can never dream of anything that could possibly compare to you.
You even have the ability, on occasion, to make uncool people a little bit cooler. Anakin Skywalker was really annoying, but when he met you he turned into the much cooler Darth Vader.
Lava, you’re the best.
Sincerely,
Mike Carp
