straight talk from tito*

For some reason, I feel the need to set the “record straight”. So for the record:
Cadbury Creme Eggs My all-time favorite candy. I long for the days following Easter when they can be had for pennies on the dollar. Getting harder to find the “real” ones because of all the caramel/snickers versions. Speaking of which(not exactly) does anybody remember the SCTV skit that lampoons Grapes of Wrath (the movie, specifically) — instead of peaches, the grandpa is obsessed with chicken fried steak? I’m almost afraid to youtube it for fear it won’t live up to the memory.
Slim Jim. I have only tried them once – in high school – and am afraid to ever try again. Perhaps the worst thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.
Best (storebought) cookie: This is a tie between:
1. Archway Vanilla Wafers (screw ‘Nilla Wafers)
2. Archway Windmill cookies (with the little nuts)
further … i think storebought is officially a single word in Perez family lingo. Growing up, we’d often get our school clothes from a combination of
1. hand me downs
2. garage sales
3. thrift stores
Over anything else, (royal) we would often choose garments based mostly on how “storebought” it looked as opposed to such silly things as:
1. “Fit”
2. “Style”
nowadays, I still catch myself commenting “looks storebought”
* this may be the last time I ever associate anything with my “real” name. I’m considering taking on an internet persona, but have yet to decide on my name. Early contenders are
1. Sparkle Motion
Ok, that’s as far as I got.

This week the I started receiving 2009 calendars and sample Christmas Cards from the World Wildlife Fund. The year is 60% over.
The WWF cover letter touted their cards by thrice contrasting them with “store bought” cards. Yes, two, un-hyphenated words.
