At Sneaky Dee's we have caesar salad instead of the Nachos that would be so much more satisfying, because we figure, it'll be a much wiser choice. There was salad in abundance, but the only thing worse than bland is
a whole LOT of bland.
When the remake came back, after talking about the best, most polite(est) way to send it back, even though we were turned off (the way you just don't want a NEW salmon when the first salmon was still frozen in the middle), I tried to eat it and make the best of it.
"Hey, maybe this will turn me off of caesar salad for a while...
hmmm. once you've been eating it for a while it starts to accumulate more flavour..."
"try a crouton" (smirk)
( I give her the finger)
Next, we decide that all we really want is something reliable (and McDonalds, even with their bad (drop the bag on the floor and then stuff your food into it 10 minutes after you order it) service, is looking good) so we head out in search of Cadbury cream eggs...
Walking to our next destination we passed a gaggle of police officers and paramedics gawking into the back of an ambulance MOCKING a guy on a strecher (whose head they may or may not have banged on the door on the way in) cautioning us that THIS is why we should NOT "do E".
four stores later...we get last year's left-over stock, which I try to convince her are just not "at room temperature" and therefore not Un-fresh. the cream, shall we say, was not quite the consistency we expected, although preservatives work wonders over months of chocolate shelf-life.
several cheeky remarks later, the eggs landed in the snow bank with a nasal "feck-afff".
So,
the culminating piss-off of the evening is that after taking a cab to our house, to the very door of the variety store that has a huge poster for "Cadbury cream eggs" is that when we arrive there they don't actually HAVE any. Nope, just the poster.
Happy 2006. Unbelievable. great.
the only redeeming quality of the evening was running into laura-long-legs.. whose number we now have and who we hope to smoke lots of pot with.
to top it all off, we came home
and for the first time I can remember,
our house smelled like cat shit.
"light some candles"
"we don't have any" -
"light some incense, ...light anything".
