Sunday evening I was picking through my supermarket’s egg section, looking for the one jumbo sized carton of eggs without a broken egg, and bumped my head on something that I didn’t see - this here display of already boiled and peeled, bag of hard boiled eggs…

My immediate thought was, “Oh God, they have to be kidding me…”  but no, absolutely not. 

Then I thought, “Those can’t be good for you.”  since the eggs are presumably in some sort of liquid preservative…yuck.  Plus, I just imagine that the people who work in the factory (and this is all in my head, I’m sure) probably pee into the water that they boil the eggs in.

Cheese then sees the very same eggs…”Oooooh!  Already hard boiled and shelled eggs.  These would be good for my place.  Oooooh, they even eggs that come from free range chickens…”

And then, I was officially grossed out.

Remember way back on December 11th I wrote a letter to Regal Entertainment Group covering the atrocious condition of their Union Square movie theater???

Well, I’ve received word from them, and I sort of WON!!!

Last night I found this in my mail…

No, not a blurry camera phone photo, but a letter from Regal Entertainment Group…

This meant that I was finally able to put to good use the pewter letter opener that my grandmother brought me back from Norway some ten years ago…

Inside I found the Regal Entertainment Group’s letter begging and pleading that I go back and watch movies at their theater.  Seriously, it was folded almost perfectly by hand, they obviously showed that they really wanted to win me back.

“Please accept our sincere apologies.” 

Yeah…I totally won.  RRRRR, yeah!!!  UuuuugghhhAAAAA!  I’m a WINNER!!!

Not only that, but I found enclosed from them two complimentary passes…

I find it odd that the fronts of these passes say, “NO RESTRICTIONS ON THIS PASS”, while the back of the tickets reads, “Management may designate where holder is to be seated and reserves the right to revoke the license granted by this ticket.”

Call me crazy, but these tickets are in fact nothing more than complimentary passive aggressive free movies passes.  No restrictions…only reservations = restrictions at time of use only… 

Anyway, the best news about this hole thing, besides killing time at work writing the letter, paying for a 41 cent stamp, and in return receiving $23.50 worth of movie tickets…is that they gave me a direct phone number to call after I see the free movie!!!

So, and I’m guessing here….is that say something goes wrong in the theater again… MORE FREE TICKETS!!!

The other night while in a group of friends the song Stay, by the exquisite Lisa Loeb came out of an iTunes shuffle. 

“YOU SAID THAT I WAS NAIVE AND….I THOUGHT THAT I WAS WRONG….HEY I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE, OOOOOH BUT NOW I KNOW THAT I WAS WRONG….I MISSED YOU!” Or something like that…

Yeah, THAT song.  At first it was a goof that everyone secretly loved and disliked at the same time, but I really do love that song, and her music. 

So I casually said, “I really love her Firecracker album.”  To which I received knee slapping laughter for, and “Oh you’re so funny, here’s all of my money, take it, it’s yours…” 

Okay, maybe things didn’t happen exactly like that, but it happened sort of along those lines.  I was being serious about my liking of Lisa Loeb music, and it was considered a joke. 

I mean, I actually find myself at times walking down a street alone, or on the subway and quietly singing her songs to myself in a falsetto.  I’m not annoyed by myself when I realize that I’m doing it, it’s actually quite nice, for me at least.

I just don’t get it sometimes… I get happenstances like this often enough, and, well, I just don’t know how to properly describe them, but I find them amusing. 

I think it’s definitely the counterbalance to the many times when my humor gets taken wrong and instead of laughter, I receive defensive words to what a person thought was an offensive sentence or two that should have been received as a joke.  Go figure…

Friday night as I was passing a smoothie place on St. Marks (as if that wasn’t gross enough) I noticed this outdoor display of free smoothie samples.

They were right out on the sidewalk to the point that in order to walk on the sidwalke you need to step around them slightly, THAT’s how close they are to people, and that block of St. Marks is a block with EXTREMELY heavy foot and vehicle traffic. 

People coughing, sneezing, spitting, flipping their hair and whatnot very near to the open display.  Not the mention the pigeons flying around, and various exhaust from all of the vehicles.  My immediate thoughts were “DISGUSTING!”.

Just then as I whipped out my cellphone camera to snap a shot of the display a man and woman saw the very same disgusting public and unsanitary display of smoothie and shouted, “OOH YEAH!” and each grabbed one taste test and popped it in their mouths like a delicious shot of Maker’s Mark. 

I turned around with my tongue falling out of my mouth, trying not to dry heave, and said, “Awww poor things.”  “Why?”  “Cause they’re drinking smoothies…”. 

Then, I snapped that above first shot, then turned quick and took this shot…

It’s the back of the man and woman who each in their own rights have very low taste as far as what they should accept for free. 

Shame on them…
