Sinister: lunch

Welp, its lunchtime, for myself at least, and due to "insufficient funds"
(as bank of america puts it so nicely) I once again had to dine at Mobil. 
What it lacks in decor it picks up in its multitude of delicious
high-calorie snacks. As I drove to the gas station, I noticed one of those
ticking billboards, you know, the ones with the odometer type readout that
counts up or down or whatnow. Anyway, this time it wasn't the national debt
or even the days left until the year 2,000, instead it was the number of
smoking related deaths this year. As I sat waiting for the light to go green
I watched as it ticked away three or four more deaths.  What else could I do
but turn up the music, light another cigarette and look away? I do not know.

OK, so I got to the Mobil and put in some gas and washed my windshield off,
then I went into the FoodMart part of it and began to look for something to
have for lunch. At first I saw the nacho machine and I could feel myself
being drawn into its magnificense, but I decided to keep on looking. I
passed up the soda machines and the frozen yogurt maker and the Icee server
and finally landed into the frozen food section. Mmm... frozen foods. So I
finally saw a box of Lunchables that got me all excited. And thus, I ate
PIZZA Lunchables for lunch. The box came with three REAL pizza crusts, pizza
sauce, cheese, pepperoni, a BUTTERFINGER and a Capri Sun (i got a coke due
to the fact that Capri Sun still brings up awful memories of grade school
lunches). All in all it was pretty damn good, although it was mostly fat and
pretty unfilling for the most part. Eh, it was free right? Oh wait... they
expect me to pay the bill when it comes in... I keep forgetting to do that. 

I also got some more cigarettes in my effort to one day be a blinking number
on some billboard off of Santa Monica Blvd.  Now that the wonderful citizens
of the state of California passed yet another cigarette tax (50 cents more a
pack!), I am going to either have to start stockpiling these things until
the tax goes into effect next year, or start making regular runs to Arizona
or Mexico. 

OK, that's all. Just thought someone might want to know what I ate for
lunch. Bye.
