I Hate Picky Eaters
Filed under: Vexed - January 19, 2007 @ 7:06 pm
Twice in the past month I’ve dined out with grown men who have stunned me by ordering chicken fingers. I managed to keep from busting a gut, but I swear the next time it happens I’m going to scream at them to grow the fuck up and eat eggplants and mushrooms already. What’s with these underdeveloped palates?
Fine, you can have your stupid pizza, but can’t you give the poor chickens a break? All the wimps eat chicken, which is the equivalent to vanilla sex. BOORING. (And oh my god, do you know what the other staple is for these immature souls? No, not catsup. RANCH DRESSING. And maybe Big Macs.)
Food writer Jeffrey Steingarten wrote in his book The Man Who Ate Everything about how he overcame his picky eating habits upon accepting a food critic gig. He says that if you eat something about a dozen times, you eventually acquire a taste for it. So quit embarrassing yourself and branch out already. I have some matar paneer and blackened tempeh ready to shove down your throat.

I think it’s so weird that if I have a computer problem at work and I pick up the phone to call the help desk, I end up talking to someone who lives in India.
How to fucking score:
4. Swear on a stack of bibles right up front that you won’t kiss your date. Then later admit you’re an atheist. In front of the fireplace.
8. Pull out secret weapon - open the pantry door to reveal CEILING TO FLOOR EUROPEAN CHOCOLATE. 



3. Open your damn mouth. I keep hearing from both men and women about these women with small mouths who can’t get the job done. Despite what you might think, my mouth isn’t that big, and I can stuff something substantial in it. Though I can’t fit a soda can in it like I saw one woman do. That’s impressive.
7. Party tricks. Ball licking, eye contact, rimming, deepthroating, these are all good techniques to employ, but the most important thing to keep in mind if your goal is to make him explode is keeping a consistent, steady rhythm. Of course you should mix it up until you’re ready for the home stretch.

I recently lost a fabulous sex partner to the circus (I love a guy who wants you to ejaculate in his face and borrows your dresses), so I’m on the prowl for new amazing experiences.
Today I walked into the bathroom at work and discovered a turd the size of a newborn child. I HATE seeing other people’s poop. Well, ANY poop really. It reminded me of that essay 
I started my new corporate hell job this week. I wore a “Jailhouse Rock” Elvis pin and told my new co-workers it was to celebrate his birthday (January 8.) But in reality, it was to acknowledge the fact that I’m now serving a sentence. I admit, I’m guilty of the crime - wanting a paycheck. God there are so many things I want to buy - 
To make it even more surreal, each person I meet reminds me of a celebrity or person from my past. One woman looks like Aly McBeal. My co-worker looks like Oprah. One woman looks like Dr. Ruth. My boss resembles Data from Star Trek, minus the weird eyes.
Can I keep it all in my head? Can I use my inside voice? Should I live it up extra hard when I’m not at work to make up for the fact that I sell my soul eight hours a day, or should I resort to wearing a butt plug at the office as a secret declaration of my perverted insanity? Are my seemingly normal co-workers already plugged and that’s why they all act happy? Am I not in on the secret? Maybe I’ll ask right in the middle of our training session today…


He’s so damn cute and shy…
