No – not you my friends. Never you. Television commercials. That’s it. Have you noticed the lies that spew out of that box? I’m here to tell you it’s true. Lies – Lies – Lies. Products that do this. Clothes that make you feel that. Shaking my head. Lies. Whatever happened to truth in advertising? I bet you are asking yourself why I’m so pigcited over something that you already knew. I’ll tell you why in one word – Mom.
You see, mom sweet mom, saw a certain commercial on television. After watching it, she got this ‘look’ in her eyes. I’ve seen that look my friends. It means trouble. And in this case it was trouble with a capital T. The next day, she came home with a bag in her hand. Took out the product, looked at daddy and tried the product. After opening her eyes, she looked at daddy again. I didn’t get it. He was still the same. Mom on the other hoof, lost it, snorted and went into the kitchen. You want to know what commercial it was don’t you? Okay, I’ll show it to you. But let me tell you straight up. It doesn’t work. Snorts with piggy laughter.
BASHFUL: I’m helping ES out by drawing the picture for his Tuesday art feature!
PORKYPINE: Wow! I didn’t know rocks could draw.
BASHFUL: I’m quite the talented artiste, don’t you know? My work has been compared to the great Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello…. even Master Splinter!
PORKYPINE: I’m amazed that you can even hold a pen with no arms.
BASHFUL: Bashful de Milo they called me back at the art school!
PORKYPINE: So what are you drawing?
BASHFUL: Well, that crazy pig that keeps sending me out of the house, Bacon. He requested a drawing of Hannibal. You know, the dude who crossed the Alps with the Ringling Brothers circus in tow?
PORKYPINE: Oh, I’ll bet that was fun to draw! May I see your work?
BASHFUL: Sure! Get a good look, because this’ll be going straight to The Louvre to hang next to the Moaning…
Welcome my friends to another edition of Travels in the South. Today I want to share another food experience with you from mom/dad. You know those two are professional eaters what can I say. That might be where I get it from, right? Snorts with piggy laughter.
Well, there’s a certain restaurant nearby that was offering “Endless Aps”. No not phone aps.. appetizers my silly friends. Well mom also belongs to their food club where every time you eat there you acquire points towards free food. Well part of the food club is that you get special things that you have to ask for. For instance, chips and salsa come complimentary with your meal. How about that? BUT you have to ask and then show them your membership.
So mom/dad ordered some chips to start with… and did I mention they are endless? Do you see where this post is going – endless – snorts. Well daddy wanted to try all of the ‘endless aps’ that were on special. Mom ordered a side salad and was going to sample things here/there which I’m sure was not how this was suppose to go but did this day.
Dad wanted to try everything so here you go – Potato Skins, Mozzarella Sticks, Pot Stickers, Fried Green Beans and Boneless Wings in a Tennessee barbeque sauce. And nods head – you read that right. Fried Green Beans which mom says is her new favorite. Now, don’t drool too much on your keyboard my friends ❤
