Summer lovin'
I'm going to throw a warning out there and let you know that this may very well be my last blog ever. I'm going camping tomorrow which means I'm risking getting raped and killed by trees or slashed by serial killers. I was planning out how I'll manage to be the only one to survive, but then I remembered one of my attending friends is still a virgin, and I think that alone completely fucks me over. So if given the opportunity to swim naked in a lake, I'll just do it, and enjoy myself before the zombies get me.
I was out yesterday picking up an air mattress and a small army of citronella candles and found a box of Kool Aid Kool Pops. The packaging doesn't look like it's changed in the past decade, and I'm pleased with that. It fulfills my lust for that old fashioned summer feel, and having a freezer full of ice pops makes me want to dig out my old Barbie pools out of the closet and set them up on the patio. I have high hopes for this summer, and so many little excursions planned I may need to start a new scrapbook.
Passing by registers, I caught glance of a candy display that cocked my eyebrows a little. I was staring at some Snickers and 3 Musketeers wondering what the catch is and why the wrappers looked so weird. I was thinking at first it was some sort of summer promotion or a, "Our wrappers look this way to save the rainforest," type of bullshit. I examined them and didn't figure it out until I read the cardboard display stating they were the "original" wrapper design. They don't scream retro to me, they just look like cheap knock-off candy designs. Call me when you come out with a new flavor, Mars. It's summer, stick some pineapple in that shit.

You should be more afraid of the Blair Witch than of serial killers and raping trees in the woods.

That last sentence made me snort.

Three Musketeers now has 45% less fat? I always thought that Three Musketeers was the gayest candy bar around, now this just takes the (fat free) cake!

My plans while Mystie's gone:
1) Eat a Snickers (now I'm just hungry)
2) Buy a Pumpkinhead costume
3) Find Mystie in the woods and scare the holy hell out of her with above mentioned costume, all the while chanting, "Punkinhead! Punkinhead!"

Well at least you are in the New England woods... not Yellowstone.. I have to worry about getting eaten by a grizzly bear when I camp... hell even when I hike.. there are campgrounds in the park that are closed due to a large number of bears in the area. I keep thinking I am going to get eaten when I go on a hike... or at least gored by a bison or fall into a hot spring. Speaking of hotsprings... some lady fell into one on a trail at Artist's Paint Pots and really messed up her leg and had to be airlifted out of the park. It was like 160 degrees I think (water boils at 198 here... yeah.. that's freaking hot).

3 Musketeers has been doing the 45% less fat thing for years. I actually like it and think it's one of the most underrated candy bars out there.
