So I've been eating a lot of salads recently, partly due to the fact that I'm trying to eat healthier, and partly since usually a normal dinner meal doesn't really fill me up. So, I guess I'm eating healthier and eating more. That means the two are counter-acting each other, but hey, I feel better. Back to the salads and the point at hand. I've noticed that salads usually come with one or two large onion rings on them. Perhaps many people don't like to have chopped onions in their salads and are thus able to lift all the onion out of their salad without being bothered. Personally I like onions and the ring forces me to have to cut the onion with my fork. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but upon a slippery bed of lettuce and dressing I've often had difficulty cutting them. So last night when my salad (before the 2 pounds of crab legs.. yeah I know.. healthy!) arrived with a onion ring on it, I immediately started bitching to Zach. "Why to they put a ring of freaking onion on my salad?' Zach, being the brilliantly witty and funny guy that he is said.. "Ever seen that movie Stargate? Yeah, well the onion is sort of like a salad gate... a gateway to your salad!" I don't know why, but this caused me to start laughing a lot. I don't know, it was funny. I stopped laughing when I accidently rotated my onion ring slightly and my entire salad disappeared.
Alright, actually it didn't, but I thought I'd nerd it up a bit. But I did get pissed off when trying to cut my onion caused a piece of lettuce to fly of my plate and land on my arm. Stupid onion ring. Maybe I'll just start doing what everyone else does and remove the ring of onion from my salad.
Anyways, this post sucks hairy monkey balls.. but deal with it. I have nothing else to work with. Take it easy everyone.. and pShawn.. I hear we might be coming to visit you sometime in the near future? That would be fun I think. (Liz forwarded me an e-mail of sorts describing your thoughts in case you were wondering.)
Later all

i seriously dislike raw onions, so i appreciate the ring. they are much easier to get off the salad than small bits of onion...
but i mostly think it's just bc the cooks are lazy. they have so much stuff to chop and cut, that they just are tired and the onion seems like more of an after though.
really, i just hadn't replied to a post of yours in a while, so i just wanted to say "hi"... love you
Hmm, I never considered the lazy cooks angle. That is very insightful.. almost as if you've peered into SALADGATE! Joey if you are reading, a movie must be made entitled Salad Gate: Beyond the Lettuce... or something else like that.
Also hello amanda, long time no see..
Another thing.. does anyone else apperciate this new comment structure on Blogger? I love it. Let's you read the comments while commenting. So thoughtful of them.

when i first commented with this new structure, i was the first to comment, so i was a bit confused why i had so little room to type in, but now i am v impressed. it is quite thoughtful of them...
and i still miss you. but maybe i can get sucked into the saladgate and pop up near you? or is that not how it works? i'm not a big nerd, so i really don't know
already have the screenplay for Salad Gate: Lords of Lettuce finished and am now starting on Salad Gate 2: Oh My Gate.
worst titles ever.
what about egg in salads? i've always thought that was weird. i mean, fish is basically a vegetable, but eggs aren't. they are baby chickens!
on the topic of eating babies, i kind of feel bad whenever i eat a piece of fruit. that's like eating a fetus. what the hell. i'm not a monster!
Joey, you raise some very interesting questions. I'm sure I could go on a long rambling rant discussing the differing view points of vegetarians. vegans, and well, everyone else. But that sounds like a rant for Sean to handle. I'm sure he'll do lots of research on the subject and perhaps even have a bunch of articles color-coated for ease of reading. But in fruit wasn't meant to be eaten, it wouldn't taste so good in fetus form.

is misty going to be dave's new girlfriend? please vote YES, NO, or MAYBE SO.
maybe so; if the mist clears and her identity is revealed. if i was computer literate and knew how to italicize, the intended pun would be more clear.
italical clearness or not, word play makes me giggle.
