Back from the beyond

Post – August 1, 2001

Taking my cue from Mike, a sign I saw recently outside a local Arby’s:

OUR MOZZ STICKS ARE BETTER

Now, first, I guess I have to allow them to print “MOZZ” to represent mozzarella. But then the trouble begins. Better than what? A poke in the eye with a sharp stick? A glass of hot tar? And if their meaning is “better than other fast food mozzarella sticks,” then, way to raise the bar! Even worse if they mean “better than they were before,” because you begin to think, how bad were they then? Words mean things.

    lol! i had to read this post about four times before it made the least sense to me, and each time it got funnier than the last. Culture-gap-itis!

    Better than the boiled testicles on Fear Factor?

    I couldn’t say – unfortunately, as it sounds wondrous! I only watched Fear Factor once and I had to switch off because the people were so scary.
    I’m not sure how I am ever going to get any work done when I keep falling over people’s web-sites and getting hooked on them *sigh* You have a new reader, Xkot 🙂
