What Does the Phrase Mean?
As most people who have dieted know, celery is a low-calorie food. It is also high in fiber. In fact, it is so low in calories, and so hard to digest, that it is possible that your body will burn more calories trying to digest it than it provides. The celery of humanity, then, are those people in society that seem to require a lot of attention, but return little back to us. We all know people like that, don't we? I'm sure all of us have our own personal celery-people around us. But I'm looking for those who fit this description on the national and international scale--folks whose fame far outstrips any possible reason for that celebrity.
Admit it--she was the first to pop into your head, right?
Well, the sad thing is, she's not the only one.
Who else? Who do you think is not worth the time, money, and energy spent on them by the main stream media?
Let me know who we should put on the list. I'm open to suggestions. If I get a good response, I'll start actually paying attention to the format, and start looking for little add-ons that I can drop onto the site--polls and the like. And if any of you want to co-blog with me on this project, drop me a line. The more the merrier, is how I see it.
By the way, I have no problem with you using the phrase 'celery of humanity' in their own writing and conversations, to describe anyone you feel fits the description. My only request is that if you do it online, link the phrase to this blog.
