mundane tales of woe are adequate for public consumption sometimes
I caught some kind of nasty sinus or throat ailment that was nastier than the Nasty Boys while pigging out or volleyballing or some other evil activity on Memorial Day weekend, so I ended up having a 3 day weekend the weekend after because I was too sick to do anything except play Fable II on the XBox. (I didn't get a 3 day weekend for Mem Day because the Man is a douchewagon.) In the game I have 2 kids that I've named Beavis and Buffy and I'm always finding new ways to cheat on my wife when I'm off on adventures.
Anyway I decided at the end of the sick weekend to order out for pizza, something I haven't done in many moons but it was too warm in the apartment to fire up the oven and I was feeling lazy and wanted leftovers for lunch for the next few days at work. Pizza Extreme is the closest awesome pie place to my coordinates, so I checked their website to see what specials they had for a large (usually they got something around 10 or 11 bucks, which I've taken advantage of countless times in the past) but this time I only saw an X-Large 2-topping deal for $13.99. Whatever, guess it'll last me 3 days instead of 2. Called in the order, drove over to the place to pick it up as I wasn't in the mood to tip for delivery. I walk in the place to claim by cheesy prize and on a giant banner behind the counter in giant letters is a message stating "Large 2 Topping Pizza - $8.88". (Cue The Price Is Right tuba they play when an old lady thinks that a new Chevy Malibu costs 7 grand and loses the game.)
