At first I chuckled because this was so much like me. Then the notion struck me, "Nachos. That sounds really good right about now."
Since it was nearly midnight, the only place in the world that I could count on for nachos with jalapeno peppers was 7-eleven. I know they're probably not good for me, but 7-eleven nachos fascinate me as I've written about before. So after my shower I loaded up the dogs and headed back to the boat via 7-eleven.
When I got there I bought a tray of nacho goodness and cranked out several full measures of cheese product from the Free CheeseTM machine. Then I stepped over to the condiment trays and scooped out several unhealthy piles of anemic-looking, drippy slices of jalapeno peppers that had clearly been waiting there all day just for me. Then I paid the friendly little Punjabi clerk the small price for this tasty treat, knowing full well that the larger price would come later.
I was right about everything. It tasted great, sated my hunger for spicy junkfood, and left me completely incapacitated on the toilet for nearly an hour the next morning.
I'm old enough to know better, but it tastes too good to care.
I'm sorry, but having gone back to read about your fascination with 7-eleven nachos (and subsequent laughter to the point of tears), I must inform you that your latest creations lack any sort of cheese manifolds. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI'm not done with the HALO armor yet, but I've got plans to include a cheese manifold in the torso portion for battlefield refreshment.
ReplyDeleteThe boat doesn't have a cheese manifold yet, but it also doesn't have a refrigeration system yet. All this will come in time. It does have a flux capacitor though...
Spicy junk food...mmmmm. Ana used to pick on me for always - I mean ALWAYS - ordering the nachos at the movie theater when we'd have movie Sundays...onto which I would heap the jalapenos that had sit in the little plastic tubs just waiting to be freed. I'd be completed content throughout the movie, but it never ended well. Yet, I kept doing it.
ReplyDeleteMan, I may have to put in an order for the armor then. My husband would likely prefer armor that provided battlefield refreshment, especially if that refreshment was cheese!
