The Beer Retard - February 2nd, 2002

mixed feelings from folks about my plan to head to beautiful wayne, michigan in march. i guess blowing $200+ dollars to go to michigan for a few days may seem a little wack, but i just want to go somewhere and do something different. and the michigan fest lineup has at least 10 bands i'm excited about seeing. we'll see, maybe it won't end up happening. for the time being, the planning gives me something to do...a distraction from the every day.

speaking of wack-ass shit, francesca found a centipede in our chinese take-out last night. that's right...a fucking centipede! needless to say, it killed our appetites instantly. i guess it wasn't so bad. the thing was dead and no one actually ate it. but it was still pretty nasty. luckily, i've never gotten anything too disgusting in my food. i think the worst was a long ass hair in the middle of a sandwich. i felt it in my mouth and pulled it out and the thing just kept coming. it must've been 2 feet long. but i ate the rest of the sandwich anyway. i remember at a place i worked in houston, a secretary got a caesar salad and found a live worm wriggling around in the lettuce. anybody else got any nasty things found in food stories?
