The Death of the Ice Cream Sundae

July 24th, 2004

There were times when you could go out to a huge, white-tiled establishment and eat your body weight in ice cream, hot fudge and whipped cream (and maybe some nuts).

Well, not anymore.

When I was a kid I used to get giddy with excitement (or possibly I was having one of those under-12 nervous breakdowns as a result of my Star Wars figures getting snatched in a particularly heart-palpitating parental garage sale from hell scenario) when I knew I was getting taken to the ice cream sundae shop. I knew that I would be faced with a menu filled with obscene choices of ice-cream concoctions that would cause me to, usually, collapse an hour later into a sugar-coma.

Words For Your Enjoyment: Halle Berry’s Deaf Ear

July 23rd, 2004

Personally, I would vote for a President who would change the five-day work week into a four-day work week, just requiring everyone to work 2 extra hours each of those four days and as a result, giving all Americans a three-day weekend every week.

Of course, if that was the case, there would be no “Words For Your Enjoyment” on Friday. And that, I know, would be a very very very very very sad state of affairs. So, you know, be glad that such changes will probably never ever happen, at least until we demonstrate our warp drive and the Vulcans see it and the Universe is at peace (and we get a three day weekend). Until then, we’ll just continue on with WFYE on Fridays.

I’m In A Fight With Freddie Prinze, Jr.

July 22nd, 2004

I am not one to air my dirty laundry. Know that I am not that guy.

However, a few really unfortunate events happened recently that ended up resulting in an outcome that I am not pleased with. An outcome that, basically, resulted in me being in a fight with my friend Freddie Prinze, Jr.. But in order for you to agree with me that I was right and he was wrong and that he should be the one apologizing to me and not the other way around (no matter what that whiny Sarah Michelle Gellar tells Freddie is the reality of the situation or not), you must get the full story from start to finish.

If I’m Holding A Puppy, I’m Obviously A Nice Guy

July 22nd, 2004

Isn’t it interesting what calms people and causes them to trust others?

For all you know I could be one of those horrible serial killers who lure people into my car and shove a cloth in your face to knock you out (like Jeff Briges in The Vanishing). I could be one of thsoe guys who is making a huge body suit out of other people’s skin (like Silence of the Lambs). I could be sticking you in a huge home-made plastic box slowly filling up with water (like The Cell) on the edge of town.

But as long as I’m holding my little puppy in my arms, you’re not going to be too worried about me. Cause I’m holding a puppy and I’m obviously a really nice guy.

Questions, Out of Retirement

July 21st, 2004

First of all, before I tell you about how “The Question Game” came out of retirement, I want to tell you that the above graphic has been showing up on other people’s blogs lately. I am categorically opposed to people stealing the graphics from WFME and passing them off as their own. It is just plain wrong. Whether or not I stole them from Google Images in the first place, well, shouldn’t have any bearing on this current argument. Uh huh.

Now, back to our favorite Question game, where you choose the lesser of two evils. Self-explanatory. Your answers are welcomed with open arms and a hot-chewy Churro. (I’ll talk about my idea for a cereal called “CHURROS” in another post.)
