Carytown Boogers and Fries

And no, that's not misspelled. We were gonna eat there last night (my hurt fingers and all), but sis and I saw an article clipping of Barack Obama on the wall, well that was enough to make us lose our appetites. Instead, we got sandwiches from Ukrop's. Now, say what you will, Ukrop's is a good store. They are closed on Sundays (The Lords day), they don't sell evil booze, and from reputation they treat their employees well. Not to mention their food is divine! I went over to Johnny Rocket's in Short Pump to apply for a waiter position. They liked me, but they said I don't have much experience. Well working at the smoothie shop, basically all I do is wait on people in between butchering off my fingers and making wraps and smoothies. Later I headed over to Starbucks on Robinson right near where I live, and put in an application there. I had an egg salad sandwich. It wasn't bad- tasted fairly fresh. The irony is that I hate coffee, but working there wouldn't be a problem for me. I worked at the one in The Barnes and Noble 2 years ago at Christmas time. I sure do need something where I won't hurt my hands. Although, I could probably easily burn myself on a latte'. Why don't people just order regular coffee instead of all that fancy stuff? There are people starving in India!

Wow, you really DO eat out a lot.

And don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Meade Skelton said...

I hardly eat out at all. In fact, usually no more than once a month if that.

Jocelyn Testes-Harder said...

I saw you at Starbucks today, Meade. I was afraid to introduce myself because I thought you might be intimidated by the overpowering vibes of my sexual prowess.

Meade Skelton said...

Oh were you the cute tall girl? Blonde? Or which one? Were you with someone? Don't be shy. Thats my neck of the woods.

Brian said...

if I saw Richmond superstar Meade Skelton I would walk up to him and shake his hand

Jocelyn Testes-Harder said...

I'm somewhat convinced that Meade is a future serial killer, so I've decided to stay below his radar.

Brian said...

he sure does fit that profile doesn't he

What exactly about Obama made you lose your appetite? Is it that he ran a dignified campaign, or that he inspired a majority of Americans and the world with his message of hope for a better America? Is it that he is intelligent and surrounds himself with competent advisors (in contrast to the current Joe Six-Pack GOP)?

What ever it is you better get over it quick because you are not going to eat much over the next 4 years. I expect Obama will be in the news just a little bit.

One last question - have you ever been to Carytown Burger and Fries before? It is a top five hipster hangout in Richmond and I would get worried if there wasn't an Obama article hanging up.

Meade Skelton said...

Yes, and what good are Hipsters? They ruin everything! They are so brainwashed at VCU- they all voted for Obama because their whacko liberal professors told them to. Can't they think for themselves? They are ultra conformists.

I go to the thrift store and they hog all the good vinyl, and then they act like elitists just because I worship Morrissey. They are rude and lack manners. They don't shower. I could go on about them. But I won't stoop to their level. Do you honestly believe Barack Obama and his B.S.? Are people that blind? What scares me is how they almost worship him. Its like something out of a horror film. Its like, yeah, he won, whats the big deal? They can take down their silly yard signs too. Makes me want to scream and claw my face every time I have to pass one in the Fan. And Carytown Burgers and Fries has awful food.

Barack Obama is hardly intelligent. He is just a con artist. Frankly, I dont care for McCain either, but I would pick him any day over Obama. Even George Bush. Obama is just bad news. I have never felt so strongly against a candidate before. I usually don't care about politics. This is a first for me. I hate Obama worship. Its idolatry. And its sick.

Now you know how half of Americans felt watching all those a-holes driving around with "W '04" stickers on their SUVs for three years after the election. Except Bush had already failed our country repeatedly by then, while Obama hasn't really done anything that anyone should be angry about.

booooo.

Meade Skelton said...

Um, let me see- under Bush we captured Saddam Hussein- one of the most horrible criminals in the words since Adolf Hitler. Our country was attacked, as we prevailed. We were able to keep terrorists from striking again. People blame the bad economy on Bush- when its actually the liberal Democrats in Congress and Fanny May and Freddie Mac etc- thats all their doings, not Bush. George Bush is not perfect, but he has done what he said he would do, and did it. He is like the guy who does the right thing, instead of saying what people want to hear- ala Obama. Obama is a liar. Hes not even American. But thats besides the point

People HARDLY worship George Bush the way they do Barack Obama. I mean, for Pete's sake- hes not even president yet and they already named a school after him .

Bookstore Piet said...

And for Bush they've named a waste treatment plant...

Meade Skelton said...

Lets all learn to love each other. Democrat or Republican- lets not hate each other. Liberal or Conservative. We are all God's children.

If that were true Jocelyn you wouldn't be posting comments to his blog all the time. Posting comments or even arguing with someone is no way to "stay below his radar".
Meade is a really nice person if you knew him you'd know that. He's kind and considerate and generous, not at all the way people paint him to be online.
