Curses!

My favorite local bakery, Avenue, has opened up another location within walking/biking distance of my house.

On my way to work.

Forget walking/biking, soon my yards and yards of luxurious flesh will be ferried around in an anti-gravity belt a-la the Baron Harkonnen in David Lynch's Dune while an army of pale androgynes in black plastic suits tends to my every nefarious need, which will involve crateloads of the delicious almond bear claw pastries I just sampled this morning and buckets of highly caffienated lattes.

DAMN BAKERIES! My bete noir! :shakes fist feebly, continues to munch on buttery, flakey, almond-y goodness:

I never stopped into a bakery until, one day in Paris, I was convinced that I needed a pain au chocolat. It's been a heavenly descent into hell ever since.

It's certainly not Hostess Twinkies, either. I guess if you're going to be damned, it should be with the good stuff...

Sadly, they both look the same on my waist.

Still, it's my desire to eat food. You know - the stuff our parents used to eat: the stuff without petrochemical derivatives added...

Stick with good ole coffee and cigarettes's what I say. Cause it's important to start off the morning with a good breakfast.

As Mark Knopfler says "If you wanna run cool/You hafta run/On heavy, heavy fuel..."

I came really, really close to getting into that whole "I like my women like I like my whiskey..." thing. But I think I'll just let that go for now.

..neat, and in a glass?

...on the rocks?

...Irish?

"Aged 16 years and goes down easy." That's probably the worst one I've ever heard. Or possibly the best.

Let's just stick with "Irish" (wink wink)

How about one for wine?

"I like my wine like I like my men..." etc etc.

GROAN!

Let's see...wine...

"I like my wine like I like my men...French and with a nice finish!"

Sheesh, I can't believe I just typed that...

By mlynnjohnson, # 24. July 2008, 01:02:05

I like my beer like I like my women... looong and cool.

Eddie Izzard:

I like my women like I like my coffee...in a plastic cup!

I suppose with wine you might say something about "full-bodied." And that would really work for either gender.

I like my wine like I like my women...cheap and from Australia.
