DON'T SHOP HUNGRY So I'm grocery shopping last week, looking for something different-but-fast to eat for breakfast, when I came across Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Vanilla Yogurt Bars. I figured the grain part of the Nutri-Grain will be good for me, and hey, I like vanilla, and yogurt in a bar will be kinda like vanilla pudding, right? Wrong. The vanilla yogurt isn't too bad, actually, but the outside "grain" wrapping...well, it has the consistency of wet cardboard, but less flavor than said cardboard. It even kind looks like cardboard--brown, soft, and squishy. On the good side, it doesn't take long to eat... The moral of the story? Don't shop hungry. Happy Thanksgiving!

SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED I noticed that the new James Bond movie is out. Odd, but I don't remember seeing anything about it in the media. Go fig. I'll have to find the nearest independent movie theater, as I'm sure it's not playing in any of the big chain theaters. *snort* I think we all know the bond plot formula by now: something or someone important is stolen/killed/blown up, Bond is sent to retrieve/investigate/kill the bad guys, Bond sleeps with beautiful woman with outrageously sexually suggestive name (i.e. Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead, Xenia Onatopp, etc.), Bond flies around the world in pursuit of item/bad guys, and then a big climactic battle in which the bad guy is defeated during which lots of stuff blows up & bad guy minions are killed. Whenever you see a Bond movie, you pretty much know how the story is gonna go & who is gonna win in the end. That said, here's my idea for the next movie: instead of flying around the world at taxpayer expense & blowing shit up, why doesn't Bond just file a class-action lawsuit? Sure, it'll take longer, but he can use the time to drink martinis & screw beautiful women without having to resort to blowing shit up & killing lots of innocent evil minions that are just trying to put food on their evil tables for their evil wives & children. Oh, and to keep somewhat to the formula, what's the name of his beautiful lawyer? Benjamina Dover. Tuesday, November 26, 2002
SPOOKY Flu Outbreak Kills Hundreds in Congo Sounds like the first chapter of a Stephen King novel, doesn't it? |
