I snagged this from stepfordtart yesterday. I almost fell over laughing when I saw it. It's a WONDERFUL way to present onion rings in a restaurant! When they laze around in those baskets lined with paper, all you can see is grease. When you see all that grease, you can imagine what it might do to your arteries. Next thing you know, you are astral projecting to some nook in a church witnessing your own funeral.If you have one of these handy-dandy onion ring servers, I can guarantee you will NOT be thinking about grease. Well, maybe you would be thinking about something slick....but not grease.
I just can't answer this for everyone. I think this is up to each individual to decide. What do YOU think about when you see this?
Ahhhhhhhh.......
Just two more days of work and then I fly out of here to see my mother for her 92nd birthday. I'm flying to the Midwest with Big Sister, my nephew, and his wife. Every time I get on a plane, a little voice says, "You can relax now." I sit down, buckle in, and sometimes I can actually feel the stress melt away. I can't fix any problems, return any phone calls, or change anything. It's heavenly.
When I flew to New Zealand, the plane stopped in Tahiti. Most of the passengers got off there, so we all had five middle seats for sleeping. I was doing fine until the flight attendant grabbed my ankle and asked me if I wanted some yogurt. I don't respond well to ankle grabbing when I am sound asleep. Let's just say that.
The clown shoes are very excited to make this trip. I'm thinking about taking them as carry-on, but I can just imagine what the TSA doofies will think of that. Some people have suggested that I wear them through security and be ever so polite when asked to remove them and put them in the big tray for x-ray. Somehow, I think that might make me an instant candidate for secondary inspection, and that is not fun. I get pulled into secondary inspection often enough as it is.
But once we are off the plane, the shoes can cut loose and have some fun. They will be going to mom's birthday party and out to the bar on Friday night. It will be their first time in a motel too, so I hope they don't do obnoxious things with the ice machine, etc.
Once chaosdaily meets up with us, the real fun begins! Road tripping with the clown shoes all the way to San Diego!
Two more days!
