a dream I had about working for AVI

I was working for AVI. Nina, William and I were at what seemed like a huge school building. Me and William were inside moving tables toward the exit as Nina pulled the blue van around outside. I must’ve come to the job late or something because someone had us using the main exit door; the one in the middle with the most traffic; instead of the one closest to us with less traffic. That’s “traffic” meaning students, probably high school or middle school kids, rushing in and out.

“Why don’t we use that door,” I might’ve asked William, “It’s closer plus it’s less traffic.” From what I could tell, it simply made more sense to use that door. It was a straight shot out. “I don’t know,” he would’ve replied with a look of ignorance, “That’s the one they told us to use, so…” I didn’t say anything else to him about it, if I’d said anything about it to him in the first place. But I told Nina during our first table load and, surprisingly, she agreed. So we started using that door.

question : Would you take a girl out to an expensive restaurant and pay for her meal?

I wouldn’t, at least not in most cases. I don’t think I’d ever spend a lot of money to feed myself, let alone someone else. A meal simply isn’t worth it to me, no matter how delicious it may be, because even if I do want to buy the girl a meal, which itself is highly unlikely, I could get her at least almost as full on a meal that’s at least almost as delicious for a lot less money.

The few cases in which I would are cases in which my money is paying for more than just her meal; cases in which paying for her meal comes with enough benefit to justify the cost. I’d have no problem taking a girl who’s a celebrity to an expensive restaurant and paying for her meal, for example, if that was a way for me to get an exclusive video interview for my site.

Pharmassure Chewable Vitamin C

Pharmassure Chewable Vitamin C

The directions say to chew one or two daily, but that’s a tough restriction because they’re so tasty. They’re chewable vitamin C tablets made with milk and a natural orange flavor. The sweet/sour taste and the powdery texture are similar to Smarties candy. It’s a good thing vitamin C isn’t harmful in high doses.

Vanilla Ice Cream With Snickers

Vanilla Ice Cream With Snickers

This is exactly what it says; “REAL” vanilla ice cream with Snickers, as if you made it at home. The main difference is that you’d have a hard time blending yours this thoroughly, so that you get about an equal ratio in every spoonful. It’s a sweet treat; greater than the sum of its parts; the only flaw being that the hardness of the peanuts, even chopped down to tiny bits, sort of distract from an otherwise smooth and gooey chew.

video review : Killer Klowns From Outer Space

video review : Killer Klowns From Outer Space

The title says it all. It’s a movie about space aliens who come to Earth to kill people. Why they have rubber noses, wear face paint and blow-up balloons is anyone’s guess, but that’s what makes it so much fun. Without the campy concept, there’d be nothing to distract from all the bad acting and technical blunders. Whoever edited the opening theme song, for instance, should be pied to death.

Ball Park Franks

Ball Park Franks

These hot dogs are named after baseball park Tiger Stadium, but they taste just as delicious at home. They plump when you cook them, which causes the ends to split quicker than you might think, but that’s what gives them their juicy tender texture. Two on buns with ketchup, mayonnaise and Lay’s Classic potato chips on the side, ranks as one of the best-tasting meals I ever had.
