Initiative 77
A tax on espresso, thats insane man. Why oh why? When goverment goes bad. I say we tax people who wear underwear, look if they can afford to cover themselves they should spare 10 cents for the greater good, oh and thongs need not apply.
This morning i've had my wheat bee pollen yogurt smoothie.. it looked purple but had no taste. Yummy! I've eaten a Power Harvest CHERRY bar with it, not as pretty looking but tasty. Last but not least chase all that down with a red bull. Sounds healthy eh? Probably not.
MyJones is yer jones. So I saw on the back of this months Ready Made, an ad for My Jones Cola, yep, Jones Cola except with your pictures printed on the labels of yer favorite cola. Sounds cool, it'd be fun to have a Lextant branded drink with a picture of the lab or some madness on the bottle. So i started to fill out the info, selected a pic and order the my first case which is 12 by them not 24.. so 12 bottles.. hey only $48.50 total.. holy crap!! Thats like double the price of RedBull i'm not doing that. Tossed out that order. Bad idea Jones.
I still like the idea of printing my own bottle labels, maybe I just need Todd to step up production on his line of brew. No Tolerance Todd's approved ale...
I used really dislike Tim Horton's, i never understood why anyone would go there, a fast food place that seemed under powered, only on meager impluse power.. yet recently, ive become quite fond of the m&m cookie.. dang my evil brother. So I'll head over there and get a snack, soup and a cookie. Except soups are never listed so you have to ask them. They rattle off 5 soups or so and when you ask them to repeat, or if you get one wrong they quickly correct you.. "no sir the potato bacon was yesterday.. GEEZE!!" as if I knew. And the soups dont come alone they are paired up with the "mini bacqutteute" or something. And i never pernouce it correctly, i always fumble it up, what is it, a frickin roll, say roll please. I think its canadian french like the people of tim hortons up north, french hockey players that thought what would make a killer fast food place is somewhere they could get cookies and soup. "Mini baguauuat" i say.. "what sir?" they reply... i say "the roll thingie, i want the roll with the soup" and then they say "the baqucetteue?" and I say "yes the roll".
Fast food has gone from friendly to prove yer existance theater. At wendys I get "mas carloos de something" and I go what? He clears his throat and says "nice car man.." and I say thanks and can I get a napkin this time? It wasnt always this bad, i guess it keeps it entertaining.

you are absolutely correct. it really makes you take a step back and look at the world we live in in a whole different light when in order to get some food at a fast food joint you need a foreign language dictionary. and as far as the roll is concerned, that's just the just part of the canadian conspiracy to turn all normal sounding food into something really froofy. hortons has some damn good bagels though.
