The Dollar Show

I was once in a movie theater with a bunch of friends. There were two girls in front of me. One was very annoying. She had this automatic lollypop. Yes American children are so lazy they can’t even twirl their own sugar with out mechanical assistance anymore. Well not only was there an annoying hum as she twirled it, she would also lift it up in the air to watch the spit fly off. We asked politely for her to stop. She was rude and wouldn’t. Three guys two rows back all stood up at the same time and yelled “Shut-up!” She did not. She continued to be rude to us. My friend Steph decided to move seats. In a Hulk like moment I though “They make Steph move, that make Kate mad.” So I stood up ripped the offending lollypop out of the mechanical twirling machine to the exclamation of “Hey.” Then she added “What are you going to do with that?” What indeed, it was a sticky lob of sugar coved in someone else’s spittle and sitting in my hand. So I did what any logical person would do, I lobbed it at the screen where in shattered into a million little pieces. I’d like to think there was then applause but I don’t think there was. The rude girl then left to go and complain to the management who was in fact my locker partner, who scolded them in the first place for bringing in outside food which was not allowed. And that is all I remember of the movie the Pallbearer.

A Dog's Best Friend

Cadfael has had a few rabbit friends. He even saved a rabbit's life! His first and his best was a rabbit aptly named Pembroke. He was still a puppy and honestly it was a bit of an unholy alliance. Pembroke seeing Cadfael with that cute little bunny like bottom would sometimes sneak up behind the poor puppy and have his wicked way with a rather confused Cadfael. But then Cadfael use to nudge Pembroke with his nose to drop 'treats' which looked like a chocolate covered raisins that he would happily devour. So maybe a 22lbs rabbit isn't the best idea – seeing as he would drop something more like a Hershey’s Kiss.

America's Most Unsolved Mysterious Custard Wanted

The butcher was a guy called Scotty (called so because he was Scottish or actually named Scotty or both.) They called the place Scotty's. It was once supposedly on TV (America's Most Wanted or Unsolved Mysteries) because the previous butcher (tried or did) kill his wife and (tired or did) make sausage out of her or something. And Scotty was suppose to get a free hat for letting them film, but he never did. On Sundays in the summer they'd have a BBQ with a sign that said 'Honk if you love ribs'. Apparently a lot of people love ribs. It drove my Dad insane for years, and he use to plot their down fall. Then one day he just asked them to stop putting the sign up and they did. My Mom once told me I should get a job there, in true Mom style she knew I was a vegetarian. It then became Erin's (I don't know if she was Irish - it's taken me six years to come up with that joke.) Erin's said it was a bakery but they never seemed to bake things. But in the summer they had frozen custard and it was oh so very good. My favorite was the dreamcicle (orange and vanilla). But they too have now closed. I want frozen custard.
