BACK TO THE JUNGLE — by Steve Nadis
Jungle Jerk stopped by last night en route to “The Jungle,” as usual. I’m not sure which jungle–somewhere in the “equatorial zone.” We passed the time unproductively. (Note to myself: Be more productive!) We watched part of a horrid horror movie called “Jeepers Creepers.” The characters were unremittingly stupid, moved slowly, talked slowly, and when given a choice invariably chose the worst possible path. The most amazing thing about “Jeepers Creepers” is that it somehow, against all odds, managed to do well enough that they made a sequel with the inspired title “Jeepers Creepers II.”
Eventually Jungle Jerk yanked the DVD–kind of like a “mercy killing”–and instead put on “Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, which is a lot funier than it sounds. I never found out how Jeepers Creepers ends, and I must say that comes as quite a relief. Bon Voyage, monsieur Jungle Jerk!

I would like to suggest a new feature for CMS - "Notes to Self." It would consist of exclusively of notes to ourselves.
I”ll start it off here myself:
Bank
Post Office
Milk
Make wry comment on Snake’’s blog
Thanks TB, that’’s an excellent suggestion. I need to make a note about that. By the way, have you taken candy/junk food off your list?
Junk food was off my list for a while, but is now back on. (Note to self: Stop making notes to self.)
Thanks TB for the update on your daily habits and patterns of consumption. My input-output model of the U.S. economy depends on it.
Does Coke count as junk food?
How about Carvel ice cream cake that doesn”t have cake in it — just chocolate crunchies?
Hello Windfall — You”ve touched on some interesting conundrums. Can a beverage be classified as "food"? Perhaps in the case of a milk shake, egg nog, or smoothie. But what about a "soft drink"? This question, I”m afraid, remains unanswered. As for that Carvel cake to which you refer, I can”t say, not knowing the precise definition of "chocolate crunchies." Let’’s leave that one open for now, shall we?
All I can say is, I would much rather be in an American prison with an Israel flag over my had and some of the other things, than in one of Saddams old toture chamber. Coke is junk food.

You”re right about Coke, Digs; it is JUNK.
