20 Packets

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

I ordered a mexican pizza, Nachos Supreme, and a taco at the drive thru today.  They asked if I wanted any hot sauce.  I said yes.

They gave me 20 packets of hot sauce.

At least now I have something to give the trick-or-treaters.

Halloween Ideas

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

You could wear this for Halloween, or any day, really.

Or, if you wanted to be Beck for Halloween, here is the official MikeCarp.com style guide:

Warning: You will probably look like an idiot, unless you are actually Beck.

Beck can do things you cannot, because he possesses the power of Beck.  And that is why we must elect him as our president.

The Food Interview

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

I don’t like long food interviews.  Subway, in my opinion, has a bad food interview.  There are too many questions.  The ability to control the outcome of the sandwich might be welcomed by the picky eaters out there, but for me, it’s just annoying.  It isn’t that I can’t decide, it’s just that I don’t care. In contrast, Quizno’s has a terrific food interview that is done in seconds.

Anyway, since I don’t have any artwork to post, I decided to delight the readers with the next best thing: An example of a bad food interview. This happened just moments ago!

JJ: Hey, darling.  What can I get for you, honey?

Mike:  Can I get a large hot chocolate?

JJ: Yes you may get a large hot chocolate.  What kind of milk do you want?

Mike: 2% is fine.

JJ: And what kind of chocolate do you want?

Mike: Wha-?

JJ:  Do you want Hershey’s or Ghirardelli’s?

Mike: Oh, I don’t care.  What do they usually use?

JJ: (silence)

Mike: Ghirardelli’s, I guess.

JJ:  OK.  Do you want whip cream?

Mike: That would be great.

JJ: Greatness is what we are striving for! (laughs)

Mike:  (Silence)

JJ: Do you want it hot hot or just drinkable hot?

Mike:  Drinkable hot is fine.  Oh, and can I get a banana muffin?

JJ: Yes you may get a banana muffin.  Now would you mind taking a sip of the hot chocolate to make sure it is ok?

(Mike sips)

Mike: BAH! THIS IS GARBAGE!  YOU ARE GARBAGE!

(Mike splashes the hot chocolate in the barsita’s face)

(Barista screams and wails in agony)

Mike: You’re lucky it is only “drinkable hot!”

OK, everything after (Mike Sips) didn’t really happen.  But it sort of embodies the effect a bad food interview can have on me.

The end.

This blog has just wet its proverbial blog pants in anticipation!  It should be epic.

Wiener Mobile

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

This Wiener is MOBILE!

I went to church this morning and was surprised to find the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile parked in the church parking lot.

I was more alarmed when I noticed a girl parking her car at the same time I pulled in, and she got out of her car and walked straight to the church like there wasn’t a big freakin’ Wiener Mobile right there. While that girl may have been a novelty vehicle snob, at least a few people inside actually had acknowledged the Wiener Mobile’s mysterious presence. Strangely enough, someone asked if I drove it there. Uhh…

At any rate, nobody knew what the deal was. And, technically, since it was parked on private church property, we could have had the Wiener Mobile towed away and impounded. That would have been awesome.

We could have had a race with the Pope Mobile!
