Musee Du Champignon

Next stop, the Mushroom Museum

(insert drug reference here...)

Tell me this kid isn't trippin' his face off!

Le Musee du Champignon is a fully operational production site tucked away deep inside a dark, moldy cave.

There were a couple of things that kept running through my head making me laugh to myself as we were wandering through the production site.

1. I see a family with a two kids who are obviously not as excited to be wandering the mushroom caves as we were and I kept thinking about my dad quoting Clark Griswald in National Lampoon's Vacation, "Hey kids, everyone in the car...that is unless you don't want to see the second largest ball of twine on the face of the earth.
2. Then I saw a sign on the wall that talked about how mushrooms are formed and I started thinking about JB quoting Dr. Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters, "In my spare time I like to collect spores, mold, and fungus"
3. Finally, as I we reached an area of the site that had active mushrooms growing from bricks of manure hanging from the ceiling, I kept thinking about George Costanza from Seinfeld trying to justify why it's ok that he stepped in horse shit, "Horse manure's not that bad. I don't even mind the word "manure." You know, it's "newer" which is good and a "ma" in front of it, MA-NURE. When you consider the other choices, “manure” is actually pretty refreshing."
