Taste the Rainbow
Oh, look...a question from a MesteeBlogger reader --
I post one question to ponder: Would you rather have the ability to expedite an elevator by rapidly and repeatedly pressing the up or down button or, have accurate precision when opening a Capri Sun?
-Skittles
Skittles -
This reminds me of the discussion that Irf and I had after watching X2: X-Men United. We decided that if we had superpowers, they would probably be something unimpressive...along the lines of starting a microwave oven while standing up to 30 feet away or just flatulating on command. But I digress. I would have to go with the elevator option, because I use elevators, but I don't drink Capri Sun anymore. If I was 10, I would opt for accurate precision when opening a Capri Sun.

On the walk back from the commuter rail station yesterday, I was approached by a ten year-old boy, who was the owner of not only a fine lemonade stand, but also the owner of a mullet that would make Billy Ray Cyrus proud. I felt the need to reward his entrepreneurial spirit and his haircut, so I bought some lemonade. I believe I was one of his first customers, as he still had some kinks to work out, which I learned during this exchange:
Lemonade Kid: Do you want half a cup or a whole cup?
Me : How much for half a cup?
Lemonade Kid: Fifty cents.
Me : How much for a whole cup?
Lemonade Kid: Fifty cents.
After learning this, I exploited the loophole in his business plan, bought out the company, and sold it for a hefty profit. Okay, I didn't do that. But I did buy a cup of lemonade -- how else are we going to refuel the local economy after the DNC bust?
This company has also reportedly begun work on pants that gradually expand as you eat dinner at Thanksgiving.
