Are you referencing Jef the Mongoose from that book about poltergeists?

Yes. And it's Gef, though pronounced 'Jeff.'

The plate of cookies has recruited a big mug of cold milk as a running mate, and I have to say they put forward a very attractive vision for the future.

That was a weird story, Gef didn't appear to be hostile unlike most of the other accounts in that book. Read that book more than 55 years ago.

I was strongly considering the wombat heads but I find Cookies & Milk a winning combo.

I believe the position is more or less ceremonial,but what's not to love about a two headed mutant wombat?

Well, they poop radioactive four dimensional tesseracts, for one thing. Which I find a bit off-putting, in spite of my generally pro-wombat stance.

Gef the Mongoose commissioned a campaign song.



And he needs it. He's losing badly. Then again, what would you rather have in your home, a plate of cookies or a neurotic mongoose?

Kat, meanwhile, organized a demonstration for whatever candidate she's backing...

The wombat heads have also decided to do a campaign song in an effort to get more votes.




Look, people voted for Trump, they'll vote for this.

When it comes to Trump voters, I think this is more like what they have in mind (specifically at 2:41, and just after):

I would just like to say that chocolate cookies are very nice.
As is fried chicken, which I will gobble this lovely evening.
Then I shall fart by lifting my left buttock and letting it rip.
After the couch stops trembling I will wear a smile of utmost accomplishment.
Sic transit gloria mundi .

He was going to run again but a wombat stepped on him.

Were the chocolate chip cookies baked using only the finest ingredients? If so, then I think they should be disqualified.

They're the kind where you buy a block of frozen dough at the store and break it into squares and stick them in the oven for a few minutes.

Now I want a plate of freshly baked chocolate chocolate chip cookies. At the office I have a toaster oven, a microwave, and several co-workers who will probably be attracted to the aroma of fresh cookies like steel nails to a gigantic magnet. So I may have to work one cookie at a time.

Cookies >> Frankensteined wombats -- and this is from somebody who was literally on Team Wombat.

(That relational symbol is pronounced "much more than".)

So Rochester can be Vice President.

The Cookies have clearly won the Election and are having a Victory Celebration blasting the Official Theme Song...

Should we now bow in obedience to our new chocolate chip cookie overlord?
Or in other words, what are the next steps?

I made a microwave chocolate chip cookie. I think I didn't mix it enough; the result had too grainy a texture.

With cooking, you can usually eat your mistakes.

Gef is not taking the loss at all well. He has said "I could kill you all, but I won't," and threatens to "haunt" us with "weird noises and clanking chains."

Not unlike Trump, actually...
