Stand By Me: Directors cut - Sunshine edition

Narrator: We talked into the night. The kind of talk that seemed important until you discover girls.

Gordie: Alright, alright. Mickey's a mouse. Donald's a duck. Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy?

Vern: If I can only have one food (for lunch) for the rest of my life? That's easy. Pez. Cherryflavoured Pez. No question about it.

Teddy: Goofy's a dog, he's definitely a dog.

Gordie: I knew the sixty-four thousand dollars question was fixed. There's no way anybody can know that much about opera.

Chris: He can't be a dog. Wears a hat and drives a car.

Gordie: Wagon Train's a really cool show. But did you ever notice that they never get anywhere? They just keep wagon training.

Vern: God, that's weird. What the hell is Goofy?

MikeySunshine: Wait a GD Second here. Vern asked a damn good question. What would you eat if you could only have one kind of food for the rest of your life? I mean, you got to think about a lot of things before comitting to something monumental like that.

Teddy: Like what Sunny?

MikeySunshine: I told you. Don't call me Sunny, that ain't my name.

Teddy: Whatever.

Vern: Yeah, Sunshine, what do you have to think about?

MikeySunshine: Well Vern, this is the food you have to live on for the rest of your life. Think about your answer for a minute lardass. Seriously, your teeth would rot out and I don't even want to think about what would be falling out of your ass if all you eat is Cherry Pez.

Gordie: Yeah, you'd have pink hershey squirts Vern-o .

Vern: Shut up man.

MikeySunshine: Like I was trying to say, you gotta think about the repeatability, and the nutrition of the food. I mean Hot dogs are great, but you don't get nothing green, unless you eat them with relish, but that shit tastes like barf.

Chris: Hey, I like Relish.

Teddy: You would.

Chris: What's that supposed to mean?

Teddy: Nothing man, just forget it.

Gordie: Sunshine, you've obviously thought about this, what would you eat?

MikeySunshine: Pizza. No doubt. It's got all the food groups, and I already eat it like 4 times a week... and Goofy is a retarded donkey.

Narrator: None of us mentioned Ray Brower but we were all thinking about him.



The question for today should be clear: If you could only have one type of food for the rest of your life, what would it be? If you can only have one lunch today, what will it be?

Pizza or sandwiches...or maybe pot pies...tough question. I'll go with sandwiches, you can get the standard cold deli style, hot and grilled with melty cheese, open faced with a mound of pot roast and gravy...options are endless but delicious.

Nice post Sunny! I think you and Watchdog are in the running for MVPoster. Hmmm....the first annual 2006 OWFL Awards...??

Heliocentric said...

"I told you, Don't call me Sunny. That ain't my name"

In fact, I used to ignore the kids when they would call me that. I pretended that I couldn't hear them until they said Sunshine. you can't nick a nick name.

Thanks Lady A. That means a lot coming from the lead dictator.

Despite what I said in the post about Pizza, I think I'd like to go with Taquitos, because I think they are quite possible the world's perfect food, but I might take the nutrition in to account and go one step back and say Tacos. They have more veggies.

Heliocentric said...

Categories for the awards could include:

Least reliable poster
Most hilarious comments
Most personalities
Sassiest
Most coments about being hung over (I'm looking at you PeeP)

I like it Lady A

LizTurtle said...

'most personalities'?? And who do you think would win that one, Sunny??

Heliocentric said...

Easy question.

Oscar mayer and wonder bread.

Already I am eating it 80% of meals any ways. It is just too bad that I am just descovering the Wendy's

ILL Mitch, what are you doing up in the morning so early you might be asking.

I am having interview for guest DJ spot on pirate radio today. Want to make good impression. Mitch has a lot to say and people need to hear me... and got banned from open mike night yesterday. Big Jim says I need new raps. Customers are tired of the ones I throw down every week.

Mitch says, How can customers be tired of Mitch Raps? They hit like punch machine.

HaterTot said...

Can I pick Diet Coke?

Barring that, I guess if I'm going nutrition, I have to say "salads."

Were I not considering nutrition, I'd say "candy," though, I suspect that's probably not narrow enough. Non-chocolate, sugary, artifically fruit flavored candy.

Oh, or cupcakes. I could definitely do cupcakes.

Or maybe steak.

Hmmm...

Josephus said...

"Most Personalities"
I think mikey is stacking the deck a bit.

If we are talking "type" of food than it has to be sandwiches because there is no limit (like pizza) to the possibilities. In fact you could have a different sandwich every day for the rest of the decade I bet. Maybe longer.

For lunch today I'd like to try Pho for the first time, but if that falls through I may go for my braunschweiger and salami sub from Cap Grounds.

Lady A said...

I could probably do burritos too.

Lady A said...

or chicken wings.

LizTurtle said...

Sammies or pizza. Although I would be very sad about the lack of sushi, b/c the no fish belongs on a pizza, raw or otherwise. And those of you who like anchovies are just wrong. Although, soup would also open up a whole realm of possibilities . . . fish chowder, clam chowder (New England, not that bastardization from NY), gazpacho, noodle, etc. It's weird that I'm considering that, seeing as how I'm not a big soup fan. But mmmm . . . the creamy soups. My mom's potato soup. Or her asparagus soup. Oh, so good. I guess I'm just not a big healthy soup fan.

Lunch today will be the free burrito I didn't get yesterday. Hopefully I can hit a slow spot in the rain to run out & get it. I think I'll get the blackened chicken caesar in a bowl with the dressing on the side. Then it's not so unhealthy. And I need to be healthy. I'm still sore from yoga 2 nights ago. So sad.

m said...

mmm chili...
the first week or so would be murder on your anus but after that i'm sure you'd adapt.

Josephus said...

Speaking of clam chodwer, I, like lizturtle, prefer the New England style, but I have to say that N.E. style CC seems to be very easy to fuck up. What I mean is that I have been to several joints and ordered the N.E. CC and been disappointed with a bowl of white whater and potatoes, or grainy chowder with celery and a few miniscule clams and so on and so on. The only good thing about Manhattan clam chowder is that it's pretty consistent from place to place. It is not as good as "good" N.E. CC but I would prefer a consistent decent bowl of Manhattan over the crapshoot of disappointment that is often N.E. CC.

Any experienced the same thing?

HaterTot said...

Jo, I might be up for joining you for pho. What time are you thinking?

HaterTot said...

Oh, on the clam chowder debate - I prefer NE, but I know far too many people who have bad NE Clam Chowder stories, so I am very, very cautious of where I eat it. As such,it's usually pretty good. But, at this point, it's probably been at least 5 years since I touched the stuff.

Heliocentric said...

I have no idea what all y'all are talking about with me having most personalities.

I'll drop the bomb and admit that I was in fact the mysterious Ultimo Dragon, but how can 2 personas be the most up in here? Somebody has to be posting as LisTurtle, Massive Delts, Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, Dirty Mitts and I know there are others. I mean those aren't real people right?

Anonymous said...

I think i'd roll with "fajitas". That way you can get all the nutrition you need, and mix it up a bit depending on your mood. So one day chicken, next steak, next shrimp, next up a "salmon" fajita.

Then you roll with the fresh veggies, tomatos, onions, peppers, avocado, lettuce.

Some frijoles in there. You're gold.

Anonymous said...

And thanks for the shout-out Lady A. Though now I have extra pressure to "outdo" sunshine.

Josephus said...

Four for Pho at 2.

Josephus said...

Any other downtown DC owflers want to join the 4 (me, ht, lachoi and Lady A) for Pho (at some joint at 19th and L) at 2:00?

LizTurtle said...

Ooooh, good point, WD. I think I'm adding guac to my order today, now that you mention it.

Sunshine, not only am I real, but I can see you right now. I am omnipotent, much like this "God" character people keep going on about.

Sunshine, you've never met Mr. Dirty Mitts or seen his Abraham Lincoln?

LizTurtle said...

Uck. I swear I'm going to make it to lunch with the DC folk sometime, but today ain't the day. I'm going the shortest distance possible outside.

Mr. Dirty Mitts - your picture looks like a fetus.

Anonymous said...

Already got lunch plans.

And 2pm? I can't eat that late, are you guys crazy? Or perhaps that's "second lunch".

I had Pho this week, it was good. Made another Pho attempt last night, but NOVA traffic stymied that attempt and instead had sushi

The Doctor said...

I salute you on your post, Sunny.

I go with the Cobb salad. (No substitutions, Larry.) Greens, chicken, bacon, egg, corn, blue cheese, tomatoes and avocado -- maybe some onion. I usually like to get it with blue cheese dressing as well, but I’d strongly consider a vinaigrette of some sort if it’s for life.

Office birthday party catered by Portillos!! That means Italian beef. That means Italian sausage.

And you KNOW what that means.

Josephus said...

I should open a Chicago style eatery out here. No deep dish.

Lady A said...

I've been craving Hot Doug's.

GimletGirl said...

Mr. Dirty Mitts is most definitely real. His fur is really dirty (but the white bits are really clean), he most definitely has a very real case of asthma, a really delicate stomach sometimes leading to very, very real cat vomit, and he has a real desire to perch on the chests of well-endowed women. And whenever I have borrowed HT's computer, he's been really helpful and interested, so I have no doubt that he can really type.

Lunch for the rest of my life? I'd probably go for something pasta-y, cause you can throw lots of food groups in with noodles and make something delicious. But right now I'm munching on a grilled cheese with tomato AND bacon, and I could definitely enjoy one of those sandwhiches everyday for a good long while.

Heliocentric said...

Man, that was painful.

That being the Blogger lock out that i had to suffer through for the last hour or so.

I wouldl ike to join for Pho, but can't since I am being releived here in 3 minutes.

I am however down for HH at Mackey's tonight

m said...

grr. i much prefer the haze of a hangover to the lucid realization that you actually do hate everyone you work with.

vacation all next week though.

lunch: Tastykake Cherry pie (ever notice there is not expiration date on these things? its not like they are hermetically sealed either.. and they have fruit eggs and dairy as ingredients.. shoudlnt that go bad at some point?)
Doritos (which do have a "freshness date") and a Dr. Pepper (established 1885) which i bought purely because it says "win 1000000$" on it... then i read the fine print and its just an advert for espn college pick 'em. fuck you doctor and fuck you marketing people.

LizTurtle said...

I'm sad. My guac is no good. And that was the only thing I paid for. Oh well. It was $1.08, so I guess I'm not out too much. You kind of can't taste the rancidness when you put a bunch of hot sauce & caesar dressing on it & eat it with a big scoop of rice & beans. Sigh!

Wish I could go to happy hour, but I have to paint & make a thing for the office thanksgiving potluck tomorrow. That won't take long, but the painting is dragging a lot more than I thought it would. Hey! I just realized tonight will be a year since I met the czar! Aw! I remember b/c we all went out & got hammered at the campaign kick-off for abby's boyfriend & then even more hammered in Mount Pleasant afterwards. I haven't been back to that bar since. God, those tater tots were good. And then I was so hungover Friday I couldn't eat any of the good eats at the potluck. Ah, memories!

Josephus said...

Hooray for the LT-Czar anniversary!!!

What did you get me?

m said...

yay! lunch two! mau just brought me more tacos.

and that kids is how i became rotund

Anonymous said...

HH at BB for DC'ers! The Czar talked me out of going to a place other than BB. What was I thinking?

Occassion is hanging with a college friend who's got TDY in DC.

Josephus said...

HH@BB not Mackey's as earlier reported.

Heliocentric said...

Shady back room deals

Josephus said...

The history of OWFL is rife with backroom deals.

Which is why cornhole is perfect as the OWFL's official sport.

Heliocentric said...

So competetive eating, one of the fastest growing sports in the US, is not?

Heliocentric said...

Oh snap!

I don't know if I mentioned my private Project Lunch Meyham assignment where I shake up the cans of pop before I put them in the fridge here at Time Warner where I am temping, but I think it finally paid off.

I only have forensic evidence here, but it is pretty compelling.

I was out of work with a back injury on monday and Tuesday, and some other schlub had to take my place here. Before I was out, there was no cola splatter stain on the wall. Now there is the unmistakable spray of dried cola across the wall.

Take that Huge multinational corporation!

Mwah ha ha ha.

LizTurtle said...

Czar, my anniversary gift to you is a drink at BB (Corona?). Yes, I've been talked into HH@BB. (by me. nobody else cared enough to try to twist my arm! sniff sniff!) What time we going??

Heliocentric said...

Well all of my personalities are dropping by after work, but we work until 6:00, so i be there bout 6:07

LizTurtle said...

6:07? So late! What about everybuddy else?

m said...

miso: that last statement gives me hope that you will someday share a plate of bacon with me.

Josephus said...

5:01

Josephus said...

I just had pho with lachoi, Lady A and little miss HT.

Always a pleasure to meet up with some of the GLOOWFL.

I believe they will all make an appearance at BB.

The Czar may even buy a round of blowjobs.

Josephus said...

shots.

Heliocentric said...

H-Dog, c'mon, I wasn't talkin about you. I'm just one man trying to get my officin' on. You can get behind that can't you?

Look, i'll try to get Time warner to switch from Staples to Mid-State Office supply.

We cool then?

LizTurtle said...

Sunshine. Herbert. Get a room.

Heliocentric said...

Turtle, just save me a seat at BB, i don't need no room

LizTurtle said...

Ain't nobody want to see you & herbert doin the nasty. Least of all, Bob.

HaterTot said...

Herbshizzle - are you aware that our very own Lady A has taken a position in Accounts Receivable. You guys should get together and talk about collections and shit.

Pho was good, and nice to see other OWFLers. I'm a big "maybe" for HH since the ProspectiveEmployer is waiting on some writing from yours truly.

Lady A said...

Someone needs to bring Bob cookies.

Unknown said...

hey all! sorry about being MIA. i had pho with HT, Jo, and LadyA. i put so much rooster hot sauce in mine that one of the waitresses came over and set a stack of napkins right next to me. it was a not so subtle sign of saying "here, you look like you could use some of these you sweaty pig!"

i am still debating HH tonight. i was up all last night doing BOJO. hmmm, decisions decision...

LizTurtle said...

Hey, ya, how was the bojo? Who all went?

Josephus said...

7 minutes

Heliocentric said...

In an accidental side move towards project lunch mayhem, I just hung up on a congressman.

Damn, i'm dangerous.

Josephus said...

Oh mikey...
