Monday Report

This post is dedicated to Raz, who just wanted the hot dogs gone.

• Hey, Raz (and all the rest of you without RSS), This post has been updated.
• Today mister mrtl and I found a Mexican restaurant that didn't leave us saying, "It wasn't bad." (Actually, Mexican or otherwise, this is the first time in Alaska that we've had this experience.) While it's lacking in ambiance, the food was good enough to make us go back.
• After lunch, mister mrtl and I stopped by a local furniture place that had given us a $100 gift card for "accessories" after our recent purchase of a livingroom set. We left with a great set of bowls (there are moose on them) and a nickel. Suckers thought they could get us to spend more on their crappy lamps and ceramic pigs.
• During our drive, we saw a bumper sticker that said, "Real Men Love Jesus," which of course made me taunt mister mrtl with talk of him not being a real man. I know, not so funny. I did get a kick out of the license plate on the same truck: JC 4me.
• I just heard "It Ain't Pretty (After the Show)" by INXS in the closing credits for "Vegas." For those of you now in the know, this is the song written by the winner of "Rock Star: INXS."

OMG - they have those stickers and license plates in Alaska too? poor mrtl and mr. mrtl!

btw, love your previous post. got my fix of tangents! (I would say I heart your tangents, but that sounds so wrong on so many levels.)

and go you for not spending more than they gave you!

[little sister]

OMG! I just saw the dress-up Jesus magnets! I've lived in the Bible belt for so long that I'd find it offensive if I weren't laughing so hard!

Since I'm a polytheist/Buddhist, I'm going to meditate on which god/dess to ask for guidance on entering your contest.....

whew, those are some expensive moose bowls. did you tell them Jesus wanted you to have them for less?

[ScottyGee]

INXS how low have you sunk? I can't even see them all the way down there...

We have Jesus all over the cars here too. He seems to prefer trucks and mini vans in NC.

As you live in Eagle River (yikes 3 degrees), I assume you've been to Garcias. I know this is not *the* mexican restaurant you think is so good, because the ambiance there is pretty effing cool.

If you've been and you didn't like it, might i suggest you go again? This time order a basket of mini chimis. You will thank me.

PS are you a real man? You love Jesus... magnets

Expensive moose bowls make baby Jesus cry.

[Dima]

I want one that says "Real Women Worship Lucifer" that way the girl in my office who thinks I'm Satan's child would be happy, and still wouldn't set me up with the "Real Men" she knows. BITCH!
I'm not bitter. Ok, I am!

Garcia's? Ugh. That place is disgusting. The chimichanga sauce tasted like turkey gravy. The salsa tasted like ketchup. Disgusting. Mrtl went back with Bug, but I'll let her tell you about it.

[RazDreams]

1) it seems like the anti-stalker is stalking you with his seven posts in a row! ;)
2) it seems like the anti-stalker doesn't like garcia's.
3) i luv mexican food...yummy to the tummy!
4) i luv that i have my very own post dedicated to me, even if it was because i cried about the dirty hotdog girl.

Here (southern California) we have a lot of sylistic "NOTW" (not of this world) stickers to proclaim the Jesusness of the vehicle's owner; far more annoying and less entertaining than the Real Men stickers, I think. Then again, I am beset on all sides by modern, strip-mall style churches, so there you go. :/

p.s. the hot dog was haunting me, too

[danielle]

okay now I am hungry!! lol hot dogs yummm lol my favorite all time food has to be mexican!!! love it!

[mrtl]

little sister - You're cracking me up! Can't wait to see your entry!
jana - They were free. Who cares?
ScottyGee - They're not on McDonald's commercials yet. Give them some credit.

Yes, prevailing stickers on trucks and SUVs here, too.
Hänni - Goodness. Garcia's SUCKS! In addition to what mister mrtl mentioned below, their enchilada sauce was on par with a frozen dinner. I'm convinced that many of their dishes are, in fact, tv dinners. I may go just to try the chimis, but mister mrtl is outright refusing to go again.

Be warned: If they make me gag, you're buying the pie when you visit.

The "good" place we found is 3 Amigos on Boniface.
misfit - But they are so cute!!
Dima - Bitch must be saving them for herself.
T A-S - Word.
Raz -
1. Typepad was acting up this morning, so I couldn't get in to delete quickly enough for the likes of you.
2. Indeed. He grimaces and has something foul to say every time we pass the place.
3. I agree.
4. Crybaby. ;)
pea - With schools of fish, too?
danielle - Check your email, girlfriend. LOL!

[pea]

Of course!
