Best Laid Plans

So yesterday I attended the first session of my grad school class, and along the way I stopped at the school bookstore to pick up my copy of the textbook, “Educational Psychology”, a 650-page paperback volume surveying different theories on cognition. It cost me $108.

I can’t say I miss everything about school.

Oh well, that just means I’ll have to change plans a bit. You see, I had originally intended to go out tomorrow morning and purchase 108 6-piece chicken McNuggets meals. That way, I would have 648 McNuggets. Then I could eat them.

I spent the last few months crafting the nuances of this plan, but all for naught. Instead of feasting on a 5-foot high McNugget heap, I’ll just have to read a book, eat a sensible lunch, or have a pleasant conversation with an acquaintance.

I suppose this is all for the better anyway, since eating 648 McNuggets would probably give me a bad case of the squirts.

    That should be the new name of this blog.

    I don’t think you want the type of people that Google “Man Screw” to be visiting your blog.

    well, at least you would have had a rebuttal for that rebuttal you received for your state of the blog.

    i paid 18 mcnuggets for a gallon of milk the other night. the cashier looked at me with a quizzical look, but when i told her they were from mcdonalds not wendys, she took them with a smile.

    Leroy – Please explain your thoughts and expound by sharing the first image that pops up when “man screw” is searched.

    I wonder what else can be purchased with chicken nuggets? Perhaps in the future chicken nuggets will replace the current currency.

    Seems like that would facilitate the spread of bird flu.

    Yeah, but would it aid in the fight against global warming… that is the real question here.
