So I'm supposed to write something interesting

I had lunch with my boss today, who's been encouraging me to write things other than analytical documents concerning search engine preferences and how to make them think you're grand. (As Maki said, I own a google hat) Being a fairly gifted writer himself, he said to start with a paragraph a night and see what happens.

Ok, pal. I'll write a paragraph or two, single-handedly butcher the english language and laugh gloriously as all of my english major friends cringe in abject terror and extreme mental anguish. In this case, I will actually reference my previous butchering on another blog where I created "meat chocolate" by forgetting a comma.

Commas are the devil anyway.

I swear.

Anyway, it reminded me of this company named Jones Soda. They have some pretty cool marketing concepts like putting consumer-submitted photos on their bottles and some fairly unique flavors. Unique flavors being the critical piece of this little rambling.

Behold! Meat flavored soda! What a glorious creation! Nowhere else can you satisfy your cravings for a tasty drink AND a multi-course meal in a single glass bottle. With an attractive, trendy label to boot.

Obviously, this was a limited release and no longer available. Jones doesn't want to be accused of monopolizing the dead animal carcass and traditional sides beverage industy. Who can blame them?

I have it from reliable sources (Frat boys and teenagers of course, as who else falls for the "you don't have a hair on your ass if you don't drink that!" line?) that it tastes exactly like you'd expect it to.

Very, very badly.

Meat chocolate. Heh. I'm still cracking up at that.

This meat soda (pop) sort of sounds like something Willy Wonka would have created--remember the Violet's chewing gum that was a multiple-course meal? That's where I'm going with this.

Cheese spooge... that's all I can think of when I hear Willy Wonka... this is all MATT'S FAULT!

Unknown said...

Yeah, the willy wonka reference is not lost. That and the Harry Potter jelly beans..

and actual Jelly Bellies for that matter. *shudder*

I love that your new profile pic shows your nametag in case we suspected that you actually put a photo of someone other than yourself up.

Tracy said...

Please note that I made sure to find one with the infamous google hat. I searched high and low... like he isn't wearing it in EVERY photo....
I thought it was appropriate to offer up one with that shirt too... you know why ; )

Unknown said...

Gah...I totally didn't catch the name tag. The shirt and the hat, yes...nametag, not so much.

And there are photos of me without my hat, for sure! somewhere....

Tracy said...

Unknown said...

There are far too many pictures of Jeremy on this comments page! I'm going crazy!

Maki said...

I know, it's confusing the hell out of me.

Unknown said...

It's confusing YOU? heh Not only is it a picture I can't seem to get rid of, but I see pictures of me next to things that I have not said.

She's crazy, man, crazeeeeee

Tracy said...

Tracy said...

Actually... I hate to admit it, but it confused me once or twice as well...

Notta Wallflower said...

Well, I must say that I'm not sorry I haven't tried the meat soda. Blech! My b/f has a "google" shirt - is that as bad as having the hat? :-/

Tracy said...

it can't be as bad... unless he wears the shirt EVERY time you go out.
J wears that hat ALL the time. : )
but tis okay... it looks cute on him!

Unknown said...

I didn't wear it tonight! You'd be so proud of me!

Notta Wallflower said...

Nope, luckily he wears it only around the house. :-P
