CRACKED PEPPER WITH YOUR FORTUNE COOKIE, SIR?

lemme tell you about my lunch today. at about 11:45 i realize that i am hungry. quite hungry in fact. the kind of hungry that only certain fast food establishments can satisfy. so i ask a friend on AIM to choose between carl's jr and panda express. she chose panda express because "orange chicken is delicious."

she is right. orange chicken is pretty much the only reason to go to panda express. sure they have other stuff too, but not like orange chicken. so i go there and notice some new items on the menu: "mandarin beef" and "mandarin chicken." i figure i will get the mandarin beef and orange chicken with chow mein. i get my food and go back to work to eat it.

well, the beef was good. but the vegetables that came with it were something else. i dont have anything against vegetables, especially in chinese food. but these werent even normal veggies. it had stuff like mushrooms (i dont really like them. i think it is a combination of texture, taste, smell and anything else that they can do to my senses), green onion stalks (actually they werent that bad, but still not a normal veggie for chinese food), and various peppers (these were normal and good). so i scarf the veggies and beef down and save the orange chicken for last. sort of like dessert for eating my veggies.

and i forgot all about the mushrooms...

now for the actual reason i am writing this blog. everything i just said was filler. no real point. not even really interesting. i just have this thing about short blogs...

i was sitting at my desk talking to people around me while i finished my food and went for my fortune cookie. as i opened the plastic wrapper i said "come on million dollars" as a joke. then i opened the cookie and this is what it said, "you have the attitude of a winner." i just about wet myself.
