So Thirsty

Cups

I didn't get much sleep last night, and I was feeling a bit dehydrated. So, thank goodness the floor of my office was covered in little cups of water when I came in this morning.

Thanks Angie!

Angie has been the summer intern here at the office, and I've made it my duty to sneak up behind her when she's "nose to the grindstone" in her cubicle and scare the crap out of her. That's been fun. She has discovered that sneaking up and scaring me doesn't work. (quit wearing the high-heels - I can hear you coming a mile away)

Yesterday was her last day in the office and it's been explained to me that she took her own time to punch out at the end of her day and fill my cube with dixie cups, and tie my chair to the desk, phone to the lamp - to the pencil cup.


I love a good practical joke, especially when it's played on me. I hope that's not all she did. While it was time consuming, and shows spunk, the only consequences will be devine retribution.

Angie - I know where you go to school. I have friends on staff. Don't think "if" - start wondering "when".

... maybe it's just me.

A cone for all seasons

The cone

The ice cream cone.
Since the early 1800's people have been eating ice cream cones. The cones have come in many shapes and sizes. They can be covered in toppings in the form of a walking sundae, and evenually become so top-heavy that they must be placed face-down in a small bucket.

I wish to reference the classic soft-serve cone from Dairy Queen. Be it the standard vanilla, chocolate (pictured) or the 'twist', this vendor got it right. Consistency, presentation, flavor, the whole 9-yards.

Dairy Queen has offered a number of other delightful treats from the Mr. Misty (slush) to the Dilly Bar, to the Peanut Buster Parfait, culminating in the Blizzard, but I believe the finest expression of ice cream is found simply on top of an Eat-it-all cone, undecorated and unblemished.

or on a stick... cause man, isn't everything better on a stick?

... maybe it's just me.

Moe's

The ubiquitous "They" have put in a new semi-fast-food joint in town called "Moe's Southwest Grill". The wikipedia entry just doesn't do it justice.

They've got a great theme going. Everybody yells "welcome to Moe's" as you walk in. The bathroom doors (pictured) are "he-moe's" and "she-moe's". And that's not the end of it.

It's a Burrito place. If you've been to Q'doba or Chipotle, you get the idea. My favorite part about going to Moe's is the pop-culture quiz you find yourself in the middle of as you read the menu.

And possibly my favorite...
El Guapo's IN-famous salsa.

They also have real sweet-tea. (there are now 2 chain eateries in Grand Rapids with sweet-tea)

The steak and chicken are marinated and are deligtfully tasty!
