Ponderings of a traveling missionary.

I suppose you want an explanation for my absence?  At the risk of being rude, I have serendipitously decided another route for this, my first “comeback” post.  With implications so grave, I must ask the reader to openly and candidly ascertain the truth relative yourself and confer the vibrant discoveries to me, nestling them comfortably in the comment section I have benevolently provided.  

Having been asked for an “awesome” post, I must confess that I am only a man; a man that cares about truth.  I am uncertain if I can provide the “awesome” post requested, but I vow that we will all learn something profound, something fundamental on this, the day of my xanga comeback.  

Wendy’s puts the straw in the bag, and everywhere else gives you the straw with the cup.  Which is better?

I will attempt to convey my disputing thoughts and ask for either judgment on them, or allegations in addition to.  

Question today:  Wendy’s puts the straw and all the utensils in the bag, most places hand it with the items, compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of both ways.

It is a hot day, and hunger pangs ravish your stomach.  It’s been a long time since you’ve been off this long, hard road.  It’s been a long time since you’ve seen a smiling face.  It is time to get some fast food.  Exit 95A calls like a siren promising a sign full of establishments ready to provide comfort and aid.  Heeding their call, you allow yourself to fall victim to American capitalism.  Before the window sits your car, your parched throat screaming for the beverage you anxiously wait.  The window opens; a high school freshman with 1,000 pimples produces the object of your desire.  

Tantalizing you with the drink, you must wait until the man is paid before the beverage is dispensed.  At long last, the drink is in your hand!  But wait… where is the straw?  Oh, on this day of days they have forgotten a straw!  Oh no!  You can’t suck out of the top of this lid for very long, the beverage is soon to low, even when you push your face on the lid really hard!  Just when you didn’t think you could take any more, the pimple man produces a bag of food.  Immediately searching the bag for the ability to rectify any errors that may have been made you see your straw, hiding in the corner.  Oh the straw!  Hold aloft its cylindrical body; rejoice in its tube-like frame!  

I’ll have to finish this persuasive essay in another post, as this is getting long.  Stay tuned, I’m back my friends.

Hmm, I think I prefer the straw with my drink. There's always that pannicky moment where you're looking for the straw, fearful that they've left it out until you find it in the bag. Perhaps we should all carry an emergency supply of straws in our vehicles to avoid just such a catastrophe?

I prefer the straw in my bag. That way I know it's germ free. The less things the workers at a fast food restaurant touch of mine, the better.

Welcome back, my friend. I have made a discovery that will change your life forever. The details will be in my next Xanga entry...

Well first of all if I have been on the road THAT long I am not gonna go around to the drive thru window. If you're gonna take a break from the road, do it right or not at all says I. I am gonna get OUT of the car, do the perfunctory moaning and groaning as I stretch and actually walk into the restaurant to place my order. Sit down in there and eat it. Probably go back for a refill on the drink. Visit the men's room and then psych myself up to hit the road again. Now there's a well executed road break.

As far as straws go, if it's a to go order I don't want anything but food in the bag. Then I walk over to where they keep the straws and stuff and pick out the extras I need. If they put the stuff in the bag I find myself having to take the extra step of checking the bag to verify said straw, napkin and other stuff was in fact added and not forgotten.

You could always just take the lid off & drink liquids that way. This, of course, is always a last ditch option...but if you're that thirsty, you'd find a way too quench the parched state that you are in.

RYC: Omigoodness, you've actually told a friend that his gf needs to wax her 'stache? That's amazing. Once again, your boldness has shocked me, yet made me respect & admire you all the more. I believe I am the queen of TMI (too much information) & you, my friend are the King. How does this behavior go over with your lady friend? As far as my other half is concerned, he sometimes just shakes his head in disbelief, laughs & says, "Who are you??" I then reply with, "I'm your girlfriend. Quit acting like this behavior shocks you. You know you love it" How are things with you & Shiloh? I think you guys are about as cute of a couple as me & Kevin are...maybe even cuter.

I am WELL aware why you have been slow and sporatic in updating.  oh, btw, thanks for the "LOST" episodes so far. Haven't really had too much time to see them, but I thank you so much for your willingness to do them.  Will the rest be finished by the time I leave tomorrow morning? just curious. Sorry I sound really demanding. I try not to be.  Since Eth and I are leaving tomorrow although he'll be back, you should come join us for dinner. You haven't been over here forever! Yet again...you may be too busy, but it'd be fun if you could hang out here :)

We fly back & forth to see each other. If we drove it would take 20+ hours. And asking to Kevin to drive any longer than a half hour is like asking him to cut off his right arm. He hates driving, plus he cannot navigate his way out of a grocery sack. Shh, don't tell him I told you that. It would make him feel less manly. It's really quite comical because while I was down there I would be able to find places in no time...by the end of the trip I was telling him where to turn. Hehe.

Aww, I am so sad that it such an exepensive flight for you to see your girl. When are you going back to Guam? When I talked to Shiloh last she said it was looking like sometime around September? Is that right or has it changed? Ya know...you could always just get married & take your new bride with you. Hmmm, just an idea.

You are welcome, my friend. I'm on the lookout for more Matt Birnies, too. It's my believe you could be a part of triplets or even quintuplets.
