Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be ashamed...

When they taught people here in Missoura how to make pizza, I think rather than using conventional methods such as a telephone, they actually played "telephone" across half the continental United States. That's the only explanation I can come up with on why they make it so wrong.

I'm not even going to go into how the pizza tastes here; I realize we're pretty far from New York, so what can one expect? What troubles me is how everywhere around here cuts their circular pizza into squares. The only situation where square pizzas are acceptable in my book is in regards the sheet pizzas. Much to my surprise, they don't have sheet pizzas down here. No one has heard of them.

They are having a dessert contest at work, and though I probably won't partake in eating because of my self-diagnosed Hep-C-phobia, I am thinking about entering a dessert. I was thinking about an apple pie or something, but rather than cutting it into wedges, I was going to cut it into squares. One wouldn't want to break suite.

Things that are coming back from childhood...

I've been taking a trip back in time to enjoy many childhood activities lately. I've learned many things by doing so...

Remember how PEZ dispensers only come with three packages of PEZ? I always had a tough time deciding which dispenser to pick because the lamest ones always seemed to have the best flavors. Spiderman always seemed to have two lemons and an orange, yet Marge Simpson always had grape and cherry. Oddly enough, I think lemon might be my favorite flavor now.

If you think about PEZ dispensers, they are a bit disturbing. Essentially, you have to bite the neck of the innocent cartoon character in order to have a delicious treat. That's a little vampire-esque if you ask me.

Board games are still just as much fun now than they were when I was little. The biggest problem I have is that people I play against are never competitive enough. When I play, I play to win (with the hopes of making someone cry as well).

My favorite childhood activity has to be the lack of cup usage in my house. Why pour a drink from one container to another when I can pour it directly into my gastro-intestinal track? This eliminates the middleman AND eliminates the need to wash another dish.

Something I did yesterday seemed like a good idea at the time, but resulted in an aesthetically displeasing concoction. I had a little grape punch mix left and I didn't want it to go to waste, so I mixed it with lemonade mix. If you can get past the fact that it looks like murky pond water, it really is a delicious beverage.
