there are several things one commonly encounters in the pasta aisle of my neighborhood c-town supermarket: 1. pasta and pasta-related products, 2. fighting hipster couples, and 3. a family in which one or more members is loudly asking the others what "youse wants" for dinner. yesterday c-town was even more exciting, thanks to the latest addition to the pasta aisle... a freaking PIGEON. that's right, our flying, disease-laden friend who eats cigarette butts and old ham off the sidewalk was chillin' on the pasta boxes. MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! tell me, is there ANYTHING more delicious than the thought of filthy bird toes dancing atop your penne? I THINK NOT. i'd like to nominate this pigeon, who i've decided to name "mr. yucky toes," to become c-town's official pasta-aisle mascot. they could have all kinds of specials, like "mr. yucky toes feels like all our linguine is half off this week!" and such. it would be AWESOME. anyway, i have to go and throw away all our pasta for completely unrelated reasons. um, right now.
Here I thought this stuff happened only in Vegas. Thank you for compounding my existing germophobia. :) That is all.
