No Awards for the Farm

We were saddened to discover that LasagnaFarm had not been chosen for one of this year's MacArthur "genius" awards, for which recipients receive $500,000. Equally distressing was the site's failure to be selected by the Nobel committee in either medicine or physics, two fields in which we have produced our finest work. Our only consolation in this regard is that neither Fred Durst, who is barely half the physicist we are; nor Lizzie Grubman, who fancies herself more adept than we at endocrinological research, but really doesn't know a pineal gland from the Islets of Langerhans; nor Jonathan Letham, who, ok, is more of a genius than we are, won either. As such, we will reserve our bitterness for the Oscars. Maybe next year.
