ah so it’s newyears eve, and another year has passed. wow.
so…you have big plans for tonight? me? naw, staying in, with the wife’s condition and all, don’t really need to be out in smokey bars till all hours of the morning. yeah, low key, might put in the hootie and the blowfish live dvd or something.
i jest.
but get this…so for whatever reason, my family has always had something of a fancy pants dinner on new years. often it consisted of crab legs and steak and shit. so i says to my self i says…"why don’t i do that here, since we’re not going out and all, it’ll be cheaper". so last night we headed up to best buyS (people in bawlemer make it plural for some reason) so i could convert my gift cards in to unneeded xbox accessories.
after that we headed to the wholefoods to get supplies for the big New Year’s eve rockin dinner.
OK so the crab leggs were $20.99 a pound. no biggie, i mean a pound is a lot, so no biggie. so i get 2 legs and a claw each. we then picked up a steak and some other minor supplies. blah blah…so we get to the register, and the scruffy hippie save the world through responsible grocery chain stores check out guy puts the legs on the scale and then thumbs through his book of PLU’s, and types in the code and…
boom! $46.81! seems my internal scales are a bit off. too late to take them back too, as there is a huge line , so fuck it, it’s once a year. the fuckers better be good.
i can’t wait to hear the gun play and fights on teh street come 2 am, when all the WT has worked through their 30 packs of bud light and decide to head home with each other’s sisters. should be fun.
did i hear the regis is doing the rocking eve, and not dick clark? could that be why the world seems to be falling apart? think about it. ever wonder why there hasn’t been a third world war? it’s cuz dick puts a spell on the year at midnight every year…the gods are angry!
happy new year people

Actually, Jefke, the crab legs were $24.99 per pound. They were good to eat, but you can be thankful that my “morning” sickness more or less makes it so that I have an aversion to a food once I eat it. In other words, I won’t be wanting crab legs again any time soon. Although I could go for some steamed crabs. Too bad that they are hopelessly out of season right now.

Oh, no kidding. The sign by the freezer did say $24.99 per pound, but I’m not gonna complain if they charged less.
