It's from Parks and Rec ... an episode called Soda Tax.

Yes ... yes, I know FAR too much about Parks and Rec. And yes ... yes I DO have "Bye Bye Lil' Sebastian" on my iPod ...

Exactly ... like ... "We don't think your frail wrist will be able to hold up the monstrosity that is ... MEGA SIZE." The kids cheered when I brought it in the house. It was like I'd wheeled in a C02 tank and set up a carnival! :)

LOL ... it's okay. I am nothing if not all about obscure jokes that no one gets but me. :) No, he didn't drink it all himself ... there were five of us in the car so we all took turns with this soda the size of a small toddler. It was ridiculous ...

... I'm saying it was a sea. A sea of soda ... :)

LOL ... I don't know ... but one summer my ex-husband came out of a gas station with a soda called a "Belly Buster" that was large enough to bathe in. I don't think it was 512 oz ... but there was a tiny sugar Moses on the rim trying to part it yelling, "Let my people go!"

Imagine that middle one ... with a handle ... LOL

PS - Paunch Burger for the win!

I'm so glad you're giggling! I was so ready to log on and read a half dozen posts saying, "You got fast food chicken for your family?! You're HITLER!" hahaha :)

I felt sorry for her ... this poor teenage girl working the window who looked ashamed that she was handing me a BUCKET of soda. It's like ... "What will…

Okay, so I read your comment and I *have* to share my story.

Years and years ago ... when my step-daughters were young ... it was the middle of summer and I ran through KFC to get a bucket of chicken for dinner because some event had run late. I asked for a medium soda so I could have something to drink on the drive…

Because my ex and I got married so quickly, some of his snark-ier friends declared I was pregnant. Some of them weren't just speculating ... they were telling other people as if they'd bought the EPT test themselves. About five months after we married, we ran into his best friend from college in the video store and…

I was in a relationship where I was slowly and systematically removed from my friends and my family ... until all I had left was him. He called me a cunt ... he told me I wasn't smart enough for him ... told me I wasn't good enough. I felt SO alone because I couldn't tell anyone. I am SO ashamed to admit that it…

LOLOL ... all apologies. Bowl ... I ate a bowl. Typos do happen now and then.

Last year I stumbled across Boo Berry and I was PSYCHED! I went home, took a picture, posted it on Facebook ... you SERIOUSLY would've thought I won the lottery. Then I ate a bowel and was like, "What kind of SHIT is this?!" Did it ALWAYS taste this bad ... or has my taste just changed as an adult? I ended up…

Nope ... I don't think you're crazy at all. Like I said ... people are different and you might find something touching that I don't. Paint with all the colors of the wind and all that ...

It may just be ME ... but if my boyfriend woke me up (strike 1) ... gave me a ring box with a spool of thread (strike 2) ...…

The first time I was proposed to ... it wasn't even a proposal. We were nineteen and my parents were, for good reason, being assholes ... so he said something like, "So let's go down to Arkansas where my Dad lives and he'll stand up with me and we'll get this over." We'll "get this over"? Okay then ...

The second…

THAT is special and lovely. You don't have to rent a hot air balloon or go to the top of a mountain or write a goddamned children's book ... just show me you love me. Your proposal was simple and perfect and beautiful.

First let me say ... that everyone is different and what one person finds special and romantic and beautiful isn't necessarily what the next person finds special and romantic and beautiful.

Having said that ... if my 98% of my boyfriend's proposal was a soliloquy about his first marriage? I'd shove that spool up his…

Awwww ... that makes my heart wiggle. I think it sounds like the best proposal too.

I get what you're laying down ... I think it's personal and sweet and adorable. You don't need to spend money or make this huge ORDEAL out of it all. Just put the ring over a packet of sauce and I'll love you JUST as much as if you rent a hot air balloon.

No ... oh no no no no. I didn't think that at all. I've just been a wad of Kleenex all weekend and I keep gushing over stupid things that don't amount to jack. You're very, very kind ... and I appreciate your kind words AND your linked article. I'm reading it right now.

Thanks for the kind words. Ours was an ... odd situation. They'd been married 20 years ... she found out she had MD maybe a year after they were married? She's been in a wheelchair these last five years or so. He's been her caretaker and done everything for her ... dress her ... care for her. Her death was…
