And You Think You Found the Bag, You're Getting Weaker and Your Knees Begin to Sag...

Van Morrison - Madame George. (it's a longish song, but if you don't know it, you should listen to all of it, because it's by far my fav Van Morrison song. Then, if you like it, you should listen to the full 10 minute version. This clip is live, but it's more like the way he released it on Astral Weeks. It's acoustic, and I like it.)


Okay I have two main things to discuss here. First. How do we feel about stocking up on a certain item, in the fear the when you need it, you'll be all out, and it will not be available. For example, Luden's cough drops. A little over a week ago when I needed some, I went to the drug store, and they had a whole wall of cough drops, but the only Luden's they had were honey lemon. GIGAWHAT?!? NO!!!!!

Now, some people would branch out, and try other perhaps accepting that maybe they didn't know for a fact what the best brand was. These people are idiots. Or at least, they're not me (thus, idiots). Because I know what the best brand is. It's Luden's, and the best flavors are wild cherry and berry assortment.

So when I stopped in to this same drug store yesterday, and they had restocked, I bought 8 bags of Luden's, 4 berry assortment, and 4 wild cherry. Because I know that the other brands blow, and I will not be subjected to using them the next time I need a cough drop, and that's that.


Point number two. The people at ChapStick are assholes. They get you addicted, and you have no choice but to continue to use it. And they must have scientists and engineers working to make a stick of it as losable as possible. Because I must have so many of them scattered about my apartment, and my classes, and at practice. If I were to guess, I'd say I've invested roughly 18.4 trillion dollars in Cherry ChapStick alone. It's a curse.
