I had to go to two openings last night that both started at seven, but I got out of class at 4:30. I tooled around Denver for a while and finally decided to go get a soda and a snack with my gas card (thanks mom and dad). What is usually a ten minute drive to my favorite station took nearly thirty minutes because of traffic. I was ready to gobble. I roamed the aisles looking for something acceptable when I found myself standing in front of the freezers - it was in my line of sight...
LUNCHABLES!
I knew it was gross, but processed food in perfect shapes with a little mint on the side sounded like heaven. I chose the turkey/chicken combo with herb sauce and an andes mint. I was too embarrassed to eat my lunchable in the gas station parking lot - too crowded, so I drove across the street to the Moe's Bagel/Blockbuster/other junk parking lot, sat in Diana in the dark and gobbled the shit out of that lunchable.
Halfway through I realized that THESE people really expect you to use only ONE cracker for each bite sized appetizer. I'm sorry, but I refuse to make anything BUT a little cracker sandwich out of my meat and cheese choices. When my crackers ran out, I decided I would try herb sauce on a piece of cheese. I had a couple like that until I decided that a mere eight crackers is BULLSHIT.
I didn't want to get out of my car to throw away the packaging, so I laid it gently in the floorboard and drove off. I still had time to kill, so I drove to Al's, but he wasn't home from work yet, so I ate the andes mint. Not even when Al did get there could I bring myself to throw away the lunchable. Only when I got to Greeley could I bring it inside to toss. When my dad saw it, he said, "mm.. I'm gonna have to get me some of those."
