The scene: Tuesday morning, at my buddy Clay's house (which is really my buddy Matt's house, but I digress), in the kitchen, right after he's pulled a container of Tex-Mex chili sauce from the cabinet. Action.
Me: Dude, is that chili mix? What is that stuff?
Clay: (thick Texas drawl) It's this vegetarian chili sauce. It's awesome. I got some tofu dogs last week, grilled 'em up and put this stuff on it. It was the bomb.
Me: No way! Are you vegetarian?
Clay: I was last week. I'm puttin' this stuff on my eggs.
Scene two: With The Wife, on a walk, talking about health-related stuff.
Wife: (with shock and amazement) Did you know my dad has lost 50 pounds now?
Me: What? That's insane.
Wife: Yeah, he weighs, like, 180.
Me: Uh...that's only 14 pounds heavier than me.
Wife: (deep, silent contemplation)
Me: That's crazy.
Wife: He's lost a fifth grader.
And scene(s).
(rw)
vegetarian chili sauce is just wrong in so many ways...it ain't chili if there's no meat!
Maybe that's why I could stand to lose the equivalent of a third or forth grader myself.
