Today on Mike: A friendship built on rice crackers, random purchases and racial equality

I spent the late hours of last night with Torie making fun of people and wandering around Dominion as if we were high out of our minds trying to find something that cost under $2. One of the topics on the long list of things we talked about was how she has been approached a number of times by people who know me talking about how they always hear about this Torie and they feel like it's her. Well, probably because it is her. After much thought I had decided that it was time to introduce the internet to my friendship with Torie. All I needed was a title.

I thought long and hard about what to title the entry. The title is usually the most important part; it needs to be witty and tell the reader about the entry without giving too much away. There are so many things I could talk about! I mean, it's not as if we don't share our love for Grey Goose over King of the Dancehall but that's too normal for us. And sure, I could always talk about our inside jokes about gay people, but someone might get offended and cry.

So I decided first on the rice crackers. Our love for rice crackers will shine on until the end of time when the only things left are cockroaches and Keith Richards. This love became apparent last night after we devoured what must have been $10 worth of them. From there it was just a hop, skip and a jump to random purchases under $2. Purchases that we happened to make at the same time as the rice cracker purchase. Finally, I decided to make a comment about our racial equality. After all, she is the token black chick and I am a BIG RACIST. Just ask Nancy's dad. He'll tell you how it's a good thing she's black, so I can only love her this much. Otherwise the world might implode around me because the love is just too much to handle.
