Boy those email based posts are really ugly.  Eventually this site is going to have to go public. But thank goodness that time is not before now. I almost blew someones cover by recklessly forwarding an email to the blog. WHOOPS! Sorry about that.

A hoax finds its way to the sun.

Speaking of hoax's I got a free salad coupon by email l a couple of weeks ago. I sent it to everybody at work. Despite the obvious fact that it was a pdf and therefore limitlessly reproduceable, I believed it really was from McDonald's

But then anonymous1 from above, who was fooled by the blackout image, found this site http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/a/007595.htm

So I was embarrased... Assuming they were fully aware of the issue by now, (I assume once something has gotten to me it's old news) I decided it would be funny to try and use it at McDonald's, and then freakout when they denied it. But the woman shrugged and put it in the register. "What kind of salad do you want?"

Me (trying to keep a straight face): "Uh... Uh... what kind do you have?"

So, they gave me the salad. I felt like a jerk for stealing it, however the salad was not symbolically bitter, it tasted fine.

I bust the worst ass in the neighborhood
I busted it all night like you knew I would
It could have been the sausage
or maybe the deer steak
I drank five beers and I stayed up late.
boo ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I could still be drunk
I'm definitely in a funk
not that I don't have the funk
least I'm smelling funky
and we go back to the front of the rhyme of the rythm
boo ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I woke up at three
(not again with the gas)
no I could not sleep
(what's a matta with ya ass?)
my head was aching
(from the beers no doubt)
my body was baking
(get your wife to help you out)
