a half-hearted attempt to reaffirm my conservative bona fides, 16
If a restaurant won’t let me substitute a side of fries or a baked potato or even some cole slaw for a dainty little dish of fruit salad, I just get up and walk the hell right out. No offense to fruit salads, understand. But that’s just the way I roll. 39 Comments ::: Post a comment »RSS feed for comments on this post.

True story…
I’d like a cheeseburger without the cheese please.
You mean you want a hamburger.
NO. Give me a cheeseburger and just take off the cheese. I hate cheese.

“I just get up and walk the hell right out.”
Good choice.

It’s the manly thing to do.

BECAUSE OF THE LACTOSE INTOLERANCE!

Okay, I’ll make it as easy for you as I can. I’d like an omelet plain and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce, no chicken salad, no wheat toast.. all on fries or a baked potatoe or even some cole slaw for Crissakes… And a cup of coffee.

You are tossing who’s salad?
Comment by Bobby Dupea on 8/31 @ 11:07 am #
Yeah.. Hold the Fruitcup.. Hold it between your knees!
Comment by JD on 8/31 @ 11:07 am #
Hey, Fruitcup. How about let’s try out that wide stance?
Comment by Major John on 8/31 @ 11:22 am #
Steak fries, right? Not some weenie, Julienne fries or, God forbid, curly fries…
Comment by The Ouroboros on 8/31 @ 11:33 am #
… or worse, pommes frites

Just so I’m clear here…..what’s your stance on sherbet? Particularly pineapple sherbet.
Comment by Sticky B on 8/31 @ 12:04 pm #
Cause I’m guessing that we’re talking about compromised values in that case.
Comment by Ric Caric on 8/31 @ 12:06 pm #
That’s absurd. Goldstein’s the kind of guy who would demand a pumpkin latte instead of ordinary coffee.
Comment by SarahW on 8/31 @ 12:14 pm #
Nuh uh. He drinks the beans.
Comment by SarahW on 8/31 @ 12:16 pm #
Straigth from the roaster. At
5002000 degrees. Some of those beans pooed out by Gorillas.Comment by SarahW on 8/31 @ 12:18 pm #
I swear that “th” was just a slip of the fingers. I was reaching down to pick up a post-it.

Fruit salad? There are places that still serve fruit salad?
Comment by ccs on 8/31 @ 12:20 pm #
Major John,
There’s a little mom & pop close to where I work where that makes fries that are probably cosidered julienne (cut @ 1/4 inch). They are homemade and are the greasiest best tasting fries I’ve ever had, the only resaon to eat there, the rest of the food is mediocore at best. The fries are extra crisp on the outside yet still soft on the inside, and the little *crumbs* are extra crispy, heaven. Similar to the fries you get at the fair or a carnival in the little cup. My point? Julienne is not always a bad thing.
Excuse me, I think I’m going for an early dinner…

Orange sherbet with chocolate ice cream.

Rules for fruit salad – no grapes, or you are cheating.
Comment by The Ouroboros on 8/31 @ 12:40 pm #
What if it’s not truly ‘Fruit Salad’ but rather “Big N’ Chunky Fruit Cocktail in Extra Heavy Syrup” ?
A masculine treat if there ever was one…
Comment by SarahW on 8/31 @ 12:55 pm #
There was a famous murder here in Richmond – the violence erupted when two hobo’s clashed over who would get the cherry from the Van de Camps fruit cocktail.
Comment by The Ouroboros on 8/31 @ 1:00 pm #
So if our social welfare program had not failed these hobos by providing them with only regular Van de Camps fruit cocktail instead of the more expensive (but worth it) ‘double the cherries’ variant… a life could have been saved.
A sad statement on our society…

WEENIEMANAPHOBE!
Comment by happyfeet on 8/31 @ 2:05 pm #
you won’t have this little dish of poncey geriatric fruit salad to kick around anymore
Comment by Ardsgaine on 8/31 @ 2:09 pm #
Jeff, you must overcome your fear of a fruit salad planet…
Comment by Lost My Cookies on 8/31 @ 2:23 pm #
Oh yeah? I won’t even let the kid watch the Wiggles.
That’s how much I hate fruit salad.
I did order a smoothie in the airport once, but I had to leave before I got it.
Comment by The Ouroboros on 8/31 @ 2:39 pm #
Oh yeah? But I bet you let them watch the hell outta Veggie Tales, don’t you?!
Fruitophobe !
Comment by Rusty on 8/31 @ 5:08 pm #
Men don’t drink ‘lattes’. Men drink coffee.
Comment by Sean M. on 8/31 @ 5:17 pm #
I like my coffee how I like my women–in a burlap sack, slung over a burro.
Comment by SarahW on 8/31 @ 5:37 pm #
Sean M, I thought that was Dan.
Comment by Sean M. on 8/31 @ 6:29 pm #
How could you mistake a burro for Dan?
Comment by happyfeet on 8/31 @ 8:06 pm #
Does “burrito” mean little burro? Just curious.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/31 @ 8:07 pm #
The word burrito literally means “little donkey” in Spanish.
That was easy.
Comment by Major John on 8/31 @ 8:30 pm #
ccs – hmmm. What you describe sounds an awful lot like the fries from Steak n’ Shake. You are hearby granted full pardon and future dispensation. Go forth and scarf down those fries!
Comment by JD on 9/1 @ 2:33 pm #
If you like sherbert, your stance has to be wide.
Comment by Bob Dobalina on 9/1 @ 10:10 pm #
I like your blog, and I agree with your politics, so this isn’t a troll, but…
You should eat the fruit, fatass.
Comment by happyfeet on 9/1 @ 10:17 pm #
I bought some fruit a couple weeks ago. It looks different now.
