The heat is sucking my creativity right out of my eyes, replacing it only with a strange anxiety about my plane getting hit by lightning tomorrow and the creeping realization that I may never be finished with the project I started at work last week. This heat is nefarious, I tell you. If I didn’t have so much cold booze lying around, none of us would ever make it out of this alive.
Thanks to the heat and my insane craziness at work lately, I have had next to no time to troll around the Internet looking for fun things to show off to you. Sorry about that. In lieu of a lame post about how I have no Thing That Does Not Suck for today, I thought I’d leave it up to you. I’ll propose some things that I think definitely do not suck, and you guys can pick for yourself.
Ready? Set? Rock the vote!

Since I can’t support white chocolate (come on, chocolate is supposed to be brown and silky, not ivory and waxy!), and I don’t get the In-N-Out frenzy (OK for fast food, but nothing to write home about), and I’d much rather eat my calories than drink them, pizza is the hands-down winner!
(It’s lucky you said thin-crust or I’d have had to leave your post without voting at all.)

-Debra, Wow, perhaps I’m too specific with my polls! So glad you enjoy piping hot thin-crust pizza. A good pizza is a thing of beauty… As for white chocolate, I think it has its place. I can’t escape the smooth deliciousness that is strawberry mousse with white chocolate shavings!

White Chocolate hands down. Matter of fact I just devoured some Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese frosting with White Chocolate Shavings earlier this week. Simply D-I-V-I-N-E!

-EdgellACE, Mmmmmmm, cream cheese frosting may just be the best thing to ever happen to baked goods. I haven’t had red velvet cake in a long time, I think it may be time to give it another shot…

Thursday rocked the suckage. No amounts of the other choices, however fabulous they may be could erase the suck. I’m hoping Friday (today) reverses the trend.

-Blanche, I know, I put that option on there for you. No sense pretending the world is a happy place filled with delicious foods when things genuinely do suck. Keep your chin up, little trooper!

Am I the only person on the planet who thinks In N Out fries are totally nasty??

-Belly Girl, I’m not sure. I’m pretty sure there are some aborigines who’ve never had fast food who would probably think In N Out fries tasted weird. I have some friends who think In N Out fries are too thick, and therefore icky. They’re wrong.
