#37 Dawn and the Older Boy

[lippian]

            What would you do if you found your baby-sitting charges running around the neighborhood with their underwear on their heads? Who would you pick as the “cutest boy” in your school? Would you dare to lie on your stomach and tie your shoe-in front of everyone? Now you can be like Kristy, Stacey and-

Oh, hello, folks. You’ve

I remember seeing that ad for the board game!
@Cover: I absolutely HATE those covers with the annoying kids on it. But, yeah, it's all about getting Crap Past the Radar.

I think the logic for vegetarian, rather than vegan, is that you don't have to kill the animal to get the milk/eggs (though of course the irony is, if we DIDN'T use them for milk and eggs because everyone went vegan, we'd kill all the animals anyway because there's no farm stupid enough to keep a bunch of dairy cows or layer chickens around for funsies). However, except for certain brands of sliced cheese (and to be fair, at some restaurants that's what they'd use, to justify charging $8 for a grilled cheese) I'm not sure it's even an issue because I question how much dairy content there actually IS in your average generic processed cheese product. (Okay, yes, Kraft has actual milk, that's part of their sales pitch...but they feel the need to make it part of their sales pitch, implying their competitors don't have it.) One would think someone concerned with health food from a perspective of health, rather than "Did Old Bess the cow die for this meal?", would be more worried about Yellow #5...

informing the reader that she looks as though she just kissed a pumpkin.
But did she like it? And what flavour was the pumpkin's Chapstick? Does cherry go with pumpkin? This raises so many questions.

Her mother’s relationship with Watson the millionaire is described as “the wonderful part.”
Dawn? Donald Trump is (at least) a millionaire. Just sayin'. And could I see your birth certificate, by the way? America needs to know if you're really Californian. (Your repeated statements that everybody in California is white, blonde, tanned and will only eat health food suggests otherwise.) If I receive it by five PM on Stoneybrook's next Halloween (next week, right?) I will let Stephen Colbert dip his balls in my mouth.

Shy, demure little Mary Anne wakes everyone up despite their protests, because they’ve “wasted half the day.” This is the girl who just pages ago wouldn’t say “no” when a crazed New Yorker scrunched her hair.As someone who struggles with assertiveness, I call so much bullshit on some of the shit Mary Anne says and does

Warning to anybody who goes out with me: If you do that, I will immediately begin reenacting the condiment battle scene from Big Bang Theory. "But can ace quarterback Glossy handle my army of ORCS?!"

I think you are my new BFF!

“There’s a place just above Malibu,” says Tyler very specifically, “and when the sun sets, it looks like it’s dropping right into the ocean.”

Doesn't the ocean always do that on the West Coast? Like, it's called the horizon, bro. I don't understand what's special about that. It also looks like it rises out of the ocean on the East Coast. Wow!

Ah. That mythical place above Malibu. The only place above Malibu in the entire state of California, where the sun sets and doesn't just blink itself off for the night. Glorious.
