Open Mic for Whiners

Why do they stop making products as soon as I start liking them? In high school, they stopped production of my favorite mechanical pencil. In college they stopped selling the Brute, clear-gel deoderant I was using. The KRAFT spicy mayo I loved to dip onion rings in is no longer sold in Rainbow or Cub.... and last night I drove down to Bloomington to hear Open Mic standup at a comedy club that closed between the time I took their brochure and decided to go. To make matters worse, it looks like my co-worker may be leaving me just after I stopped hating him. And all of this doesn't spell good things for the entire female gender.... Well, at least I still have you, Tab Cola....

Everything I start to like has a way of being discontinued (even my favorite show, Arrested Development, is possibly on the chopping block). Now that I have finally warmed up to the idea of girls (the veil of kooties has been lifted), I am afraid they will start disappearing... If my trend continues, by the year 2006 only male babies will be born. Although, if I had my choice, right now I would save KRAFT spicy mayo first… oh, what I would give for some onion rings right now!

Yummy onion rings. Beer battered goodness. It is not helping that I can see Town Hall right now.
Of course pretzels would be good too. I don't think spicy mustard is going anywhere anytime soon.

I wouldn't worry about women, we seem to sometimes be self-perpetuating.

You stopped hating your co-worker? I am delighted that you and Carl are getting along better.
