Underwear Revelation

Okay, okay, so it's about time I 'speechified' on this subject for a second... I mean really? I was in Target today, just perusing through with that someone special, she was looking for clothes, me, eh, I was just perusing. So I'm in the men's clothing section (looking for a 'nice' pair of black cargo pants for work). Nothing much there as everything's ready for summer and is either shorts or slacks. And there they were....

Men's underwear. Not that I have a problem with that, I mean, I'm a man, well at least a guy I s'pose, and I wear them, but here's my problem: WHY, I mean WHY do the pics on the front of the packages HAVE to be of these super-ripped fellahs that pretty much only exist on the front of romance novels? I mean seriously!
Now I will admit, yeah, it makes me think, 'Ooh, I would look that sexy in these underoos!' But really? That'd be a HUGE no! I mean, If...IF i am that susceptible to buy a pack (okay, okay, fine....I bought a pack..well two - SHUT UUP! I stopped after three, aiight?) I get them home, and well naturally, I'm ready to look sexy like that, so I strip to the nakidity (it's a word...well at least now it is anyways), and put a pair on.

First thing, apparently the men in the photos? They have no ass because these things rode ride up mine like I was wearing a freakin' thong! And these are supposed to be briefs for crying out loud! Next, (and I'll admit, I don't have abs, but I don't exactly have a gut) these things made me feel like I was Peter from The Family Guy, gut sticking way the hell out over my pants or something! And holy cow, do these guys have sticks for legs? Mine felt like they were turning blue from lack of circulation.

In short, I think they need some more normal guys on these photo fronts. I mean they do that for women now right? Help us guys out a bit, you underwear people! Quit making us feel like fattie patties! Although...I think about it....if they did that, then the peeps in the fast food industry (worthwhile ones like Hardee's and Taco Bell) would probably downsize portions.....then Hungryman TV dinners would downsize...then you wouldn't be able to get a 'decent' size meal at a restaurant -it'd be all that frou frou crap you get at 'gourmet' restaurants for 90 bucks a portion- , then cats and dogs would walk together, and....AAUUUUUGHHHH!

Maybe the little ripped guys advertising sexy underwear aren't sooo bad when i think on it.....

The Greatest Pie Ever

Just have to comment on something amazing... I am a fan of going out to eat (though I never can afford it!), and yeah, I appreciate the Chili's, the Tex-Mex places, the McDonald's, and etc., In other words, all those 'commersh' places we are so fond of, but I have as of recent become more and more a fan of the local, fa-nocal, ma-and-pa type places as well. For example, should any of you wonderful readers live in or visit Winston-Salem, NC, you should try El Triunfo (El Salvadorean food - I highly recommend the papusas), El Torrero (Tex-Mex the way it should be, Peanut's (Hot Dogs that will make you scoff at anyone's paltry offerings), and....well the subject of today's offering: The North Point Grill.

Located on North Point Boulevard (in between University and Cherry streets), this place has some of the most fabulous un-known fare I've ever had. In fact, I'm seriously thinking on throwing their name at little mister whats-his-face on the food network, you know, the guy that visits all the local dives? They would be well worth the publicity!

Anyways, in specific for me, the one thing I love the most, is their key lime pie. Hey, maybe they get it out of a can, or off some restaraunt industrial vendor, but you know what? It's THAT DAMN GOOD! Who cares where it comes from! I mean, from bite one to bite finish, it really is a fantabulous adventure of taste that is more than worth going back for!

It starts off, when you take the first bite, very sweet and you can taste the lime, as well as the graham of the crust, and the sweetness of the frozen whipped cream on top. However!!!! I mean, HOWEVER!!!!! The best part of any key lime pie in my opinion is the 'bite' or the slight sourness of the lime that gets you afterwards. The best way I can describe it is: Open mouth, insert bite.......wait for it......wait for it...............oh YES!!!! Maximum flavor and mouth watering (eye watering too!) flavor scored!!!

It was a wonderful experience, not to mention the chicken-fried steak and Oh-My-Gaw! Potato Salad it came with. Just saying, The North Point Grill here in Winston-Salem? WELL WORTH the trip to visit!

But maybe that's just plain-ol, easy to please me........Somehow I highly doubt it, though...
