He said that they just made a whole bunch and they didn't want to throw them out so they were giving them to me and I screamed "THANK YOU" like I just won the lottery but then as I was pulling away I realized that I didn't know what I was going to do with the 9 burgers I didn't order (ok let's be honest, the 7 burgers). And I also didn't want to throw them away because Bob and Cathie raised me in the great depression and one should never throw any food away so then I drove around in the snow looking for homeless people to give them to, and as I stepped out of my car, pantsless and shoeless, to do so, I kept feeling the need to explain to everyone that Wendy's gave me these for free because I didn't want unearned credit for good deeds, but mostly everyone just seemed interested in the fact that I wasn't wearing pants and then one man (whom I actually know) asked me if I wanted one of his blankets.
So yeah. I'm not sure whether I did any good last night. But I did eat 8 hamburgers right before bed.
And now, your Pictures & Distractions:

You are an awesome person. Also, I adore the alien light silo that is bringing a highly advanced and futuristic Christmas to your cute village.
ReplyDeleteI like to think of it as the rapture.
DeleteSo PAPP was all the rage when I was in Singapore. You can even buy pens with apples and pineapples on the ends. Its just so mesmerizing. Thankfully I don't know if it is all the rage here in Taiwan as I don't speak Mandarin and well, I don't know anyone....yet.....
ReplyDeleteWhere do you live in Taiwan? I went to Taipei a few years ago and it was one of the cleanest cities I've ever seen.
DeleteI commented on the article Eli (and I was shocked that I was evidently the first to do so) about how you were the illegitimate love child of Flo and Fidel but it pulled in my FB profile and listed my profession and employer. I thought twice about leaving it there because I wasn't sure about how my employer would feel about it - I chickened out and deleted it . . . . .sorry.
ReplyDeleteAlso - how do you get the edges of your crust to look like that? I'm a phenomenal pie maker but my crusts look blah.
It's a little trick I like to call "buy a frozen crust from the store."
DeleteWell darn it! I buy all of my pre made but not pretty . . . . Pillsbury is my friend.
DeleteThe intro to this week's P&Ds made me spew my drink.
ReplyDeleteMr. Pants is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI've decided to go back in time two years and adopt Eddie the Terrible. I think he's my soulmate.
