The Non Carbonated Life for ME!

The Non Carbonated Life for ME!

Tuesday June 13, 2006

During the summer, most Tuesday's a group that I like to call my "Angels" meet for lunch at Piatt Park downtown for the lunchtime concert series. Weather and work permitting, that is where you will find me. Come on down- Noon to One.

This week my buddy Antarctica Jeff and his lovely bride Christine met me at Dinks Hot Dogs beforehand.  I had a Coney and some Frito Chili Pie. They had the same plus for desert they had a FRIED TWINKIE.  I am trying to behave myself, but the damn Twinkie looked good though. Damn skinny people who can eat anything! ARRRGGH.  For desert- I had a few MENTOS that I bought from a street vendor. I figured they would probably be sweet, and take the edge off the Coney, and a Mento can't have that many calories could it? Fried Twinkie or Mentos. Hmmmm.... Mentos is probably better for me.

I offer Jeff and Christine a Mentos, and they DECLINE saying that "MENTOS ARE BAD FOR YOU"

(THEY'RE EATING A FREAKIN FRIED TWINKIE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!)

I amazingly ask "WHY?"

"Well, JC, you had an ICED TEA with lunch- we had DIET COKES."

Hmmm? I ask. They know that I am to avoid Carbonated beverages. I tried one two weeks after my endoscopy and thought I was gonna die. I tried an Ale-8-One Sunday and it took me three hours to drink it and I felt like crap all day. So, odds are I'm not having anything carbonated.

"Ok, how is a FREAKIN MENTOS gonna kill you Mr. Fried Twinkie man?", I ask.

Well, here you go= they sent me proof!

So........

Yup, it's the NON CARBONATED LIFE FOR ME!

Now, if you want to have fun with the above phrase , just sing it to the tune of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's- POSH LIFE FOR ME!" (See below)

Or you can just go have LOTS OF FUN WITH MENTOS=

If you are absolutely insane, go get 500 Mentos and 200 2 Liter Bottles of Diet Coke and try to reproduce this:

PS- Yup IT'S THE NON CARBONATED LIFE FOR ME!

 

This is livin', this is style, this is elegance by the mile
Oh the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me
First cabin and captain's table regal company
Whenever I'm bored I travel abroad but ever so properly
Port out, starboard home, posh with a capital P-O-S-H, posh
The hands that hold the scepters, every head that holds a crown
They'll always give their all for me they'll never let me down
I'm on my way to far away tah tah and toodle-oo
And fare thee well, and Bon Voyage arrivederci too
O the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me
First cabin and captain's table regal company
Pardon the dust of the upper crust--fetch us a cup of tea
Port out, starboard home, posh with a capital P-O-S-H, posh
In every foreign strand I land the royal trumpets toot me
The royal welcome mat is out
They 21 gun salute me
But monarchies are constantly commanding me to call
Last month I miffed (missed) the (a) Mufti but you can't oblige them all
Oh the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me
Oh rumpetly tumpety didy didy dee dee dee dee dee
Oh the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me
First cabin and captain's table regal company
When I'm at the helm the world's my realm and I do it stylishly
Port out, starboard home, posh with a capital P-O-S-H
P-O-S-H, P-O-S-H...
Posh
