Magnetix, Guys and Dolls and Stories That Shouldn’t Be Told on Dates January 27, 2007
Posted by Aaron in : Play , trackbackSo last night right before bed, I saw Guys and Dolls was on PBS. Having seen it performed live at Central, I wondered if this version was any good. So I set the Tivo to record and went to bed. Flash forward about 12 hours, to me out shopping. I ran across a box of Magnetix on sale and as I’ve always thought they would make great desk toys for work, I tossed them in the cart along with a few other things. If I stopped here, it would be a story of almost inconceivable mundain-ness (mundainosity? meh ok, “boring”), but as Michael just more or less pointed out I rarely stop where I should (of course he then said he was proud of me). The story doesn’t end there and neither will my telling of it.
I spent the afternoon playing with Magnetix and watching Guys and Dolls. No this wasn’t a date, though actually when Michael asked that, it did occur to me in some circles it might be a decent one. But there was just me, the TV, my magnetix and a newly washed squeaker (he’s extra squeaky after washing). I’ve even got pictures. Ok so at times I was more playing toys than watching tv, still not a bad afternoon.
Some of you may be thinking “wow that certainly is a story that shouldn’t be told on a date”, others may not be so sure the story is done yet. Perhaps sometime I’ll fax a cookie to the latter, for they are tonights lucky winners. The “Story that shouldn’t be told on a date” is actually separate from the above story, and for the record I’m not telling this on a date but on a website. Despite that, there is probably one reader who shouldn’t read any further. You know who you are though I doubt you are at this moment, navigating to another site. Oh well, I shall press on.
Along with the other things I purchased at walmart, I got squeaker some new dog treats. He loves Beggin Strips (though I discovered that if I run out of those, half a slice of bread seems to get him just as excited, so maybe “loves” should be in quotes). Called Pup-peroni, when I opened them I realized, man these things smell like beef jerky. Upon examining one I said man these things even look like beef jerky. *waits for that look of horror* *waits some more, because its such a great look of horror* From the little nibble I took, I can report they do taste a lot like beef jerky. However I don’t recommend them, A) beef jerky is cheaper by the pound and B) they have an aftertaste no doubt due to their preservatives that made me gag. In terms of “dog treats that I’d eat first if stranded with a wide variety” so far I’ll have to put them far below that of the ordinary cracker treats (which with enough water are not “good” per say, but edible).
There we go, I think I managed to actually capture 2 stories that shouldn’t be told on a date. What do you think Sirs?
