First in terrible, I bring to you Doritos: the Quest. “The Quest” is an unmarked bag of Doritos. People try to guess the new flavor and you get prizes or something. Being a connoisseur and slave to Doritos, I had to try this out. My palette tasted lime and pineapple. The internet claims that it is lime and Mountain Dew. Terrible…
Next is cable television. Life in Korea was good, because I could download all my favorite TV shows and watch them on MY time. Now, my internet connection is crap and Charter Communication commands when I shall sit in front of the TV. And with no DVR, if you miss the TV show, that’s just too bad. So, I’ve been missing many of my shows. When I try downloading files, my internet connection will drop and I lose the files.
And Summer programming really sucks. Where’s the Amazing Race or Must See comedy on Thursdays. Everything is either a Million Dollar Game Show or a dance off. Terrible…
Will Smith movies …. terrible…
Since my days consist of waking up, watching TV, shuffling around the house, and sleeping, I’m putting on chub. I think it’s also due to boredom and overeating. The river road is closed due to high waters. So, no Raging Rivers or swimming either. Terrible…
And then, of course, I didn’t get the green light for Lasik. Terrible…

This morning I get into the office, and this girl had brought in cookies for everyone. From a distance, I spotted them and locked in on their color and appearance. They looked white, buttery, and delicious. But, I did not indulge right away.
After 15 minutes, the girl came around, and she was handing out the cookies. She was trying to gain peoples’ opinions, and they were coming in negative. I thought maybe she had added too much butter or vanilla? Eventually, it was my turn to become test subject. I took a bite, and my taste buds confirmed that there IS NO GOD! It was horrible,…and yet…familiar.
The nastiness didn’t stem from a miscalculated ingredient, but it came from the flavor itself. What was it? I couldn’t put my finger on it, and it led me to continue eating the cookie. It tasted so reminiscent, and yet so taste wrenching. Bite after bite, I thought I could solve the mystery of the flavor on my own. Finally, I had to ask. What’s in this?
…”black licorice”, she says.
Seriously? Black licorice. Who would do such a thing to a harmless cookie? Who thinks that black licorice honestly tastes good? I don’t know! It reminded me of this candy that clear had brought from Italy. It was small and looked like something you’d keep in your pocket as a breath mint, but instead you want to punish everyone around you for slowly pulling off your eyelids. Black licorice should never have been conceived or forced into a delicious looking cookie.
