HAHAHAHA Todd!

I bought some Odwalla bars yesterday.

I stood in the aisle where the willowy people look like the 22nd century and read the Odwalla bars and noted their goodness.

Then I put them in my half-grocery cart.

But I don't think the god of dietary probity was fooled.

Sartre could have used this as a classic example of "bad faith" in one of his mickey-mouse essays.

I had become a collaborator.

I had used Vichy coins to buy something.

Momus waited outside the liquor store and when I passed I agreed I should be lined up against the wall and shot.

But wait til dawn.

Take a picture of me eating the Odwalla bar before you kill me.

Let posterity know I could always come up with a good lie at the eleventh hour to save somebody's feelings.

I remember you saying "My face is not a toy."

That line titillated me and stuck with me.

And I kept saying "well everybody's face is a toy!" in my head for a few days.

And wondering.

Language is like a bear trap, a strap on, a bear trap, a strap on...no it's not.

Don't blog with only one eye open, I remind myself.

The windshield wiper will diminish the visual returns.
