Pourable

yoda by yoda · Aug 21, 2003 · 220 views · Journal

In this world there are many stange things in life... on a recent trip to grapevine texas(love the name) i got a chance to see some of the oddities of the hugely backwards and hillbilly way of so called life...little kids are wearing cowboy hats...Kingdom halls have voicemail where you cant leave a message unless you leave a texas telephone number first...hagen daaz has a 20ft steel wire frame cowboy hat above it...ketchup is not provided on any place settings at restaraunts... and all of this way different but acceptable...what pushed all these things OVER the edge was that when i went to dinner last night the heinz ketchup was in a glass bottle...(noraml) but on the label it said "POURABLE" pourable?????!??? what is that about???some
things in life are not meant to be in POURABLE glass bottles... now its time to come home....

No matter what the label says, you still end up using your knife to get the ketchup out. Sue Heinz, make millions and donate all the money to Ezabel.

I was thinking the same thing...

I saw a sign outside of KFC in Arkansas that stated: "Liver and Gizzards Snack Box $3.99" thats not normal.

McDonalds throughout the New England region, sells lobster rolls! Now, I don't know about you, but I don't feel safe ordering the "local dish" at a fast-food restaurant. Fast-food is dangerous enough. One of my friends told me that the McDonalds in the Baltimore area, sells crab cakes! I've been to Baltimore many-a-time, but wasn't aware of this. Good thing I only heard it from him, instead of finding it out myself, since had I found this out myself, I'm sure I'd be short of puking, when reading it off a menu.

wait, explain how that's a bad thing? how's that dangerous?

seafood always is something you should be carefull with.... how old it is, how it was cooked, is it rotting while its on your fork? and I don't know howmany teenage minimumwage McD's workers really know how to prepare crab cakes.... you might end up with crabs after you eat it.... something to think about.

oooooh ok gotcha. thanks for filling me in

tinser #4 tinserOG 2002

lets face it...there are only 4 states in the US the qualify as "normal"...you can all figure out for yourselves which they are though

thatdarngirl #4.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

New York..New Jersey..uhhhhh California?

tinser #4.1.1 tinserOG 2002

yeah, new york...thats a given :)

walkngplaygrnd #4.2 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

I promise you PA is not one of them . . .

#4.2.1 toxicgirlOG 2003

Milton, what is THAT supposed to mean?

walkngplaygrnd #4.2.1.1 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

Come now, toxi . . . you're probably the ONLY semi-normal person I know from PA . . . and by calling you semi-normal, that is NOT an insult - that's actually more normal than I am, because I SURE wasn't counting Jersey either . . .

malibu malibuOG 2001

jersey is normal. one of them has to be florida.

tinser tinserOG 2002

yeah, i think i'd throw florida in there...because florida is basically composed up of new yorkers and new jersians

tinser tinserOG 2002

i also put jersey and cali in there...although cali has its moments of oddness. But then i thought about it...should i have included connecticut?

probably not, because i'm not actually sure that conn. really exists considering i dont know anyone from that state and its so close to ny (thats just really weird to me)

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

connecticut is only accessible from LI by ferry. which makes it especially odd.

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

Wyoming doesn't exist - I saw so on Garfield - and "if its on TV, then it must be true!"

malibu malibuOG 2001

hahaha. i always use that. if they print it in magazines, it must be fact.

people from texas have only ever heard of texas, california, new york, and florida. i don't know if that makes them "normal", but... anyway when i was in texas (san antonio) everyone kept asking if i was from new york. and i'd say "no, new jersey" and they'd just look at me like duhh where's that? so after awhile i just started saying "we're about an hour and a half south of brooklyn bethel." at least they've heard of bethel.
