Oh wow, I can't remember. How sad.

Question 176 is also missing, so: Have you ever been on top of a mountain? Not just a hill, a mountain...

WOW, now we're missing 169-143! How on earth did that happen?

169. When did you start this questionnaire?

On Monday, around noonish.

My mom is 57 and my dad is 59, almost 60. Olduns.

166. What is a phrase you constantly say that doesn't make any sense?
I add "uns" and "uals" to a lot of words. Like for a puppy, I'd call it a "puppun" and like in the previous question "Olduns". I also call my pets "petuals". Etc...

165. Have you ever quit a job?
I quit my first job at Party City by writing my 2 weeks notice on a balloon order sheet. It was a very sarcastic "order". The last job I (sorta) quit was the Marriott, but I was kinda forced to.

I have a gut. Tomorrow I'll join 24-hour fitness and lose it all. Then I will win the challenge-off.

158. Which one of your friends would you never let meet your parents?
Never? That must mean it would have to be someone that hasn't. In that case, I would never let you meet my mom and dad. You're a bad influence, and I can't be seen around you with them. Sorry, it just has to be this way. I'm sorry.

157. Anything hurting at the moment?
I have a canker sore in my mouth, it sucks. I keep toungin' it and that's no good.

156. What are you currently happy about? Not something that you're always happy about, something recent...
I finally fixed my iTunes, so that it'll recognize my iPod. After I upgraded to iTunes 7.4.2 it wouldn't recognize. I had to uninstall it, then reinstall a few other versions. Now all I'm missing is my play counts. That does suck a bit though...

155. Do you have a tablet?
I do not, but I really want one. I bet I'd draw some crazy shit. Hint hint people, Christmas is coming up...

154. Have you ever been a victim of identity theft?
Yes, well no. But I did have some credit card fraud. They took like $800+, that sucked.

153. Would you like to see a bald eagle with a beard?
Yes, but I'm afraid it will make me go blind due to it's awesomeness.

152. What's the most fragrant thing around?
My feet are a little more ripe than I'd like them to be. I am gonna go wash up soon (as you can tell, I'm not at work for this one...).

151. What did you last have for dinner?
I ate some leftovers from Lucille's BBQ. They were good, but not as good as when fresh.

150. 50 down, how ya doing?
Well since I did this in an awkward order, I've been exhausted for a while on it. That's why I didn't finish on Monday (it's 1205am Thursday now).

149. I know you watch it, so what is the title of the last porn vid you watched?
I believe it was called "Streptease" and it had nothing to do with a sore throat unfortunately.

148. Which one of your friends has the coolest name?
Linus. Hands down, he has the coolest name.

147. What's the last thing you built?
I'm working on my humidor right now. I'm not really building it as much as I am preparing it and putting it together. I'm excited.

146. What's the oddest smell you like?
Besides my own brand? Green soap, gasoline, fresh cut grass, thinkin' grass, etc. Especially etc.

Arson Is Easy Posted: 01/25/07 11:11 am on http://www.bostonpunk.org
"I hate fox 25 news...one of the biggest spin doctor news teams ever. I mean, they jump on the bandwagon now with lashing out at our illustrious presican't...but before that, they were all about him. Nevermind the fear mongering that they are terrible for.

07 November, 2007

Sometimes the clientelle at a Taco Bell is better than the food...

Today, for lunch, I frequented the Laguna Beach Taco Bell off PCH and Cleo. I do this on a weekly basis, and always have a good time people watching when I dine in. Today's main attraction right off the bat was a gaggle of loud mouth little indie chicks with bad hairdos and facial piercings.

"I fucking hate being short. Well I'm not really short, but you know."

No, I don't know. Keep it down.

I ordered my usual (re)Meximelt with jalapeno sauce, 7-layer burrito (evenly layered) and an odd choiced enchirito. Once my order was up, I set out for seating, avoided the little broads and sat on the other side of the room. To my left was the next attraction: two of your average dutchmn, one a little moreso than the other. They sounded like tourists, not by any accent or anything, but just because the pale whities in CA don't talk like these guys...

(In all seriousness, no joke intended) "Yeah, he tries to call me sometimes. Have you seen his baby momma?"

Don't get me wrong, the usual characters were there too: we had the timid caucasian family "out to lunch", the creepy older guy in the white shirt with the stretched out sleeve holes (of course, that sat a little too close to the gaggle of girls) and the friend or family member (I can never tell) of at least one of the employees. I envy those ones, they always get hooked up.

Last, and certainly not a bit least was the middle aged guy that looked as if he might've just recently gotten laid off. His attire aimed for business casual with his white-collared shirt and slacks, but the CROCS on his feet with grey socks and the faded acid-wash purple hat on his head said "I'm gonna look for a job tomorrow." I really paid no nevermind to him when he entered, but it was after he received his food did he come into the frame. He wanted a fork, simply a fork. Of course to anyone that's been to Taco Bell, they know there are no forks, only the almighty spork. He looked where the sporks were located and turned back. He asked the cashier for a fork, the cashier quickly retorted.

"We don't have forks." he said.

"I know, that's why I came to you." The man replied.

"We only carry sporks."

"Well you only have spoons. No more forks."

"Those are sporks, we don't have normal forks."

Then the man walked off silently, picked up one of the said sporks, and walked back to his seat with a defeated and embarassed look on his face.

All in all, today the clientelle was better than the food.
