GO RANDOM!----fun(?) lunch break stops...

Yesterday while hunkering down at my jobicle, it suddenly came to me that I don't get out enough. My skin has started turning a strange yellowish color that reminds me of glow-in-the-dark stars that you stick to your ceiling in high school (that your mom yells at you about because they have this ability to destroy the wallboards and decrease the property value.)

But I digress...

The only way to bring fun to a non-fun situation is to go out and find said fun yourself. Or...just ask the S.O.F. where to go and we'll write you up a list, lazy face. <3


Five radom places to go on your lunch break that will help alleviate your yellow skin dilemma:

1. THE HARDWARE STORE: So I went to the hardware store yesterday and realized that it enveloped a boatload (toot toot) of fun. There are spools of chains, 80s reminiscent letter stencils and spraypaint. ooooh...spray paint. How me circa 1999. But the fun part was getting keys made. I didn't have to get keys made, mind you, but I did anyway just for the experience. When that machine comes down and cuts your key and the metal flies everywhere, the light bounces off and delivers a fireworks spectacular just for you.



2. Gray's Papaya-Before you give me that Spirit of Fun evil eye, YES, I know that this is a regular spot to visit on a lunch break, but I had to include it anyway. Why? Because, friend, in your haste to get back to your jobicle, you forgot to stop and smell the weiners (Of the Best Hot Dog in New York Variety, you dirty reader you). Standing outside Gray's Papaya is one of the best parts---even if you're alone. You stand and eat your hot dog and watch people in business suits rushing by, getting back to their jobicles, eating their dog on the way. NOT FUN! Give yourself a freakin' hot dog break for goodness sake.



3. Speaking of dogs...DOG PARK!-God...dogs are the effin' best---how they get all excited about other dogs and tennis balls, and how they run quickly in strange patterns without rhyme or reason. They pee on the ground and they bark at anything they don't like without apology. We should all be more like them. Consider a jaunt to a dog park to be your own personal "Becoming a dog 101". ARF!




4. Dollar Store-easy now. We want you saving your dollar bills for the exercise in yesterdays edition (see below). A trip to the dollar store affords you (no pun intended) a look at America's obsession with chachkis, doo dads or what my mom likes to call CRAP (capitalized on purpose). I love dollar stores because they aid me in my mission to have every single religious novelty ever made out of plastic so that I may one day fill the rompous room and refer to it lovingly as "The Jesus Nook." See that? Dollar stores make dreams come true.



5. Water. Find some water. It's not as easy as you might think. This includes a fountain, a stream, a pond, lake, river, ocean, creek...you get the point my little sof-er. Water is soothing and makes you feel better about your current station in life. How Feng Shui. Just make sure you visit the ladies/gents room first...we all know what can happen with running water and a full bladder.




Sail off into the sunset on the Spirit of Fun...toot...tooot!
