Withdrawal was as it always is-- clumsy, badly timed, and really really distracting. I wouldn't advise it as an effective method of control.

Um, if you're still reading this, then I'd just like to say that combining the chili and nacho cheese would be a real time-saver. It all goes down the same tube anyway-- why not go together? Find some way to inject it directly into your arteries and you can skip the digestive tract entirely!

Seriously, though, some foods that you wouldn't expect to go together do so very well. It wasn't until I was about fourteen that I realized that hot pizza and mint chocolate chip ice cream complement one another perfectly. And it prevents roof burn, too!

Hmm, did I honestly mean that, or am I just saying it to see if you'll try it? (*evil grin*) Bwahahaha!

Mike! You're back. We're so happy to see you. How was withdrawal?

Back to topic: Why would the 'cofee' stuff be anywhere near the coffee?

Wait, is that a single dispenser for nacho cheese & chili? Combined?! Ewwwwwwww.

Archived comment by Mike:
Keeping the coffee and the coffee supplies separate. How... inconvenient.

Um, I'm not sure if The Laughing God's reappearance had anything to do with the comments from the "House of Mirth" thing, but, if it did, I hope the email he received was courteous and polite; I really can't handle being brought up on cyber-stalking charges right now. :^)

Yeah, my 7-11 has some odd stuff in it as well.

oooo-kay. i'm going to politely not wonder what kinky thing is going on between those two that involves throwing pickles. or midgets, come to that. =) but welcome back! and, yes, the gas station nacho cheese is evil and poisonous and even LOOKS bad, and i must have some at least once a week. there's got to be some kind of drug in it, i know it.

The Laughing God is back! Woohoo! (Throws sweet gerkin midgets.)

I have plaid underwear. Did you think to check out the check-out clerks' underwear?

And, regarding the quote, do people really eat the nacho cheese from those dispensers, or are they, more or less, for looks? Gas-staion cheese just doesn't sound very appetizing.

Plaid Pantry sounds like a little place run by a grandmother type, who sells maybe scottish shortbread in those little red plaid tins. ;)
Then again, Circle K is both a convenience store and apparently a community service club, so apparently the name means nothing.

Archived comment by The Laughing God Returns:
So I don't know why, but this reminds me of the fact that the Plaid Pantry (a "convenience" store here in WA and I don't know where else) has very little to do with plaid. Their logo is not plaid. The clerks' uniforms are not plaid. And the vast majority of products in no way involve plaid. In fact, we went looking for some plaid in the Plaid Pantry one night. It took a while, but we finally found one item that featured plaid. Scotch tape.

The month after Februaryu is called Marchr, followed shortly by my needing some sleep, desperately.

What month comes after Februaryu?

RedRidingHood, that reminds me of that bad joke about the beautiful she poodle who enters the bar where an English bulldog, a Mexican chihuahua & a Boston terrier are having drinks.

The poodle sashays up to the 3 male dogs & says, "The one who uses the words 'liver' and 'cheese' in a sentence the best will come home with me for a night of wild passion."

The bulldog perks up & says, "I looove liver & cheese."
The poodle sniffs & says, "That's weak."
The terrier pipes up, "I have liver & cheese."
The poodle says, "That's not any better."
Then the chihuahua says (insert bad Mexican accent), "Liver alone, cheese mine."

Archived comment by RedRidingHood:
I may be spoiling a joke here...
But the punch line was kinda funny (if you're really drunk...)
It's "nacho cheese!" (as in, it's my cheese)...
Hey it was good for a laugh!

Well, how "convenient" would it be without a nacho cheese dispenser?

Archived comment by butternuts seven:
its also kinda like 7-eleven.

Sometimes what is found at 'convenience stores' & how it is arranged is mystifying. Although these days it seems like only convenience & gas stations carry Cheerwine. 8-{
