Whoa.

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Last night, my girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary. We went to dinner at Top of the Hub, and then cabbed over to Finale for dessert.

Finale is famous for its desserts (and after last night, I know why), but they also have dinner. It’s nice to have that option (they call it the “Prelude”) if you want to have an entire meal there.

Halfway through our dessert sampler, two young ladies sat down at the table next to us, and each ordered a dessert item. One got the molten chocolate cake, the other the cheesecake. Two very good choices, as we had very recently learned.

About 10 minutes after they finished, a salad was brought to their table; they were apparently splitting it. My girlfriend and I looked at each other at the same time, both realizing what was unfolding before our eyes. We were watching people eat a Tarantino movie.

Instant Awesome: Chewables

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Two things just dawned on me:

1) “Pap smear” sounds like it could be a type of hors d’œuvre.

2) It would not taste very good at all.

Instant Awesome: Chewables

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I really don’t ask for much. It’s the little things that make me happy. So, whichever god or gods may be smiling down upon me, I want just once, just once, to walk down the jellies and preserves aisle of the grocery store, pick up a jar, and read this on the label:

rape Jelly

I’ll buy that jar in an instant, and cherish it forever.

Whatcha Makin’?

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

I like to play a little game in my head every once in a while when I’m in a retail establishment and I notice someone buying just a handful of items. I pretend that the items that they are purchasing will be used together in some way, and then I try to figure out in what way that might be.

Here are the results of one recent round of this game. I was in my local supermarket last night, and as I waited for the self-checkout kiosk, I noticed that the woman in front of me had rung up 3 items:

  • Rice Krispies
  • Marshmallows
  • Drano

Now, the average person would assume that this woman both loves crisped rice desserts and hates clogged drains. I, on the other hand, since I was playing this game in my head, was extremely concerned for the person who was to be on the receiving end of poison Rice Krispie Treats.

And that is why I had to take her down, and let the police handle the rest. Now she’ll have plenty of time to make Rice Krispie Treats… I’d say about five to ten.

(Note: that last part didn’t actually happen)

So, I was in a local grocery store the other day, and while my sandwich was being prepared for me, I decided to browse through the snacks. It was then that I came across this gem:
