But Mom, My Tape Was Full!
Tuesday on my way to the job fair I passed one of the local googolplex movie theatres and noticed that there were about 6 or 7 school buses parked outside. What the hell - do they take kids to the movies for school now? Or was this just a bunch of bus drivers going to see Aeon Flux for their own edification? Or maybe Rent?
In any case, for some reason this made me think of an incident that happened in my 8th grade history class. We were all settled in to watch a video about the American Revolution or somesuch. The video started and we were magically transported to the 1700's (OK, not really). But we were watching the video when all of a sudden a scene from the movie Bachelor Party appeared. I haven't seen that movie in a long time so I'm not exactly sure which part of the movie this was, but I do know that a woman suddenly became topless. Much to the delight of the class and the chagrin of our teacher. I'm convinced no one else ever saw that woman move as fast as she did to reach up and turn off the television. Apparently her teenaged son had used Mom's tape to record some ta-tas for posterity. Heh.
On another note, the turkey and gravy soda may happen after all. I deemed the original price of $10.99 too steep, even for this noble experiment. However, through the magic of 'clearance' the price is currently at $7.34. If we can get that stuff down to $5, the stoplight of purchasibility may turn green. And what was an unemployed, on-a-budget person doing in Target you may ask? Shut up.
Krazy Kroger was also spotted again last night. Unfortunately circumstances conspired to deny any pictures or quotes. Someday the truth will emerge.

Must go to Target.
We MUST catch that Krazy Kroger.
I actually loved Bachelor Party when it came out. Love the scene where the couple kisses the butt that falls through the sun roof.
Look... a BUTT!
I thought when I first read the post that Bachelor party was porn and my theory was goign to be that maybe the teacher's son didn't record it...she did!
Nevertheless, that is the best story ever! Why didn't that happen to me? Damn!
Turkey and gravy soda, yikes.
That reminds me -- in the 90s, there was a Major League Baseball player (whose name escapes me) who hurt his jaw and as a result had his mouth wired shut for a while. Tiring of protein shakes or whatever it was he was consuming, he decided to get one of his favorite meals, a McDonald's fish sandwich and fries, puree it in a blender and drink it down.
The results were predictable.
I love the 8th grade class video story. And, it doesn't escape me that drinking turkey and gravy soda is such an 8th grade kind of idea. You must try it.
Hey - I had my mouth wired shut. I put pizza in the blender.. along with grilled fish. Anyone getting the heaves over that one?
Oh yeah, I also had to vomit out of my nose.
but everyone calm down.. this was done separately. the pizza was not mixed with the grilled tuna.
whew.
