Dear Original Charcoal,
This last Halloween I tried to persuade my girlfriend to go as Whoopi Goldberg, since I totally wanted my costume to be Ted Danson in blackface. We didn’t end up doing this, since my girlfriend is white (and just a slip of a girl), so no one would buy her as a Whoopi stand-in. She also convinced me it would be racist and worse than that no one would get it!
The dilemma I am now faced with is I have a bag of your product (your original 100% all-natural hardwood lump charcoal if it matters), and was wondering if there was anything fun and creative I could do with it.
Obviously Halloween has passed, so costumes like a hobo or coal clown are out. Is there other things you can do with coal, in Iowa, in November that aren’t racist?
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
