20 April 2006

So, we got new vending machines here at work. Nice spiffy ones, with things like Ramen Noodles and tuna salad kits in 'em. I guess I know where the money from the layoffs went. Oh, well, here's an appropriate song.
dude, you're snack-food obsessed. you're just lucky you probably have a super-fast metabolism, like those old Mick Jones lyrics
Now I'm fully grown
And I know where it's at
Somehow I stayed thin
While the other guys got fat

So as a society we've decided we need "kits" for tuna salad now? I welcome the Iranian nuclear firestorm, fucking welcome it.

well, it's basically just a can of premixed tuna salad (with celery, yech) some crackers, and what specklet dubbed a 'niff,' in this thread.

At least the kits still have real tuna in them. At least until the nuclear firestorm comes around.

This slays me.

Thank God! An easier but pricey way to eat actual fruit! C'mon America.

Then they'll have Atomic Super Tuna!

(when did 'Atomic,' change to 'Nuclear,' anyway? I like 'Atomic,' better.)

I've eaten plenty of atomic fireballs, but I'd think twice before popping a nuclear fireball in my mouth.

conveniences like this are why arab terrorists want to kill us. seriously, they hate freedom, but they hate convenient junk-food machines even more. they're just jealous as hell.

Lyndon Laruche and I have been pointing this out for years, did anyone listen? NO, SO ENJOY YOUR POST-NUCLEAR-HOLOCAUST HUMAN FLESH SALAD KITS YOU FLUORIDE PINKO ROCK AND ROLL DEVILS!


Jon,
I used to sail a bunch and we had a boat with an engine that was so old that it was called an Atomic-4, imagine that a time when the word atomic was considered a positive branding point. It always made me feel very Ward Cleeverish as it belched leaded gas exhaust and overheated leaving us to helplessly flail around with gaffs at the rapidly approaching pylons at the dock.

Cool beans, Brotha Wino. Also, Atomic made better mutated monsters than Nuclear. The movies tell me so. Also, we need to get your ass (and somebody with a camera out the Remote one of these days. The fate of the universe depends on it.

We have one of those vendys. I ate and blogged about nearly everything in it.

I'm lazy, rainbaby. If the pre-cut apples come to Canada, I'll be all over them.

... washed and sliced organic apples, ...
How the fuck can an apple be anything but organic?

Oh, what I really meant to say way that the machines are probably not paid for by the company - the vending machine company supplies them and pays the company a kickback commission on sales which almost covers the cost of having the machine there in the first place.
