Give A Little, Helps A Lot
Man's greatest enemy: DINNER
So. Tuesday eveing. I'm a bit tired. I attempted something easy. Sweet and sour chicken and vegetables with rice noodles. Lovely. I stir fry the meat, add my peppers and onions and other colourful delights, and tip in a jar of Tesco Healthy Living Sweet and Sour Sauce. Beautiful. And now. Now for the noodles.
This was a noodle experiment. I was suspicious of these new noodles and their unappealing packaging, but had been advised of the healthy and delicious nature of this particular kind. K took it as his moral duty to prepare them according to the instructions. Three minutes in boiling water, a quick rinse and drain, and a good slicing with the old scissors to aid servation.
All good. But the result?
Brains on a plate
A little taste revealed that they were indeed the devil incarnate in food. Oh ho! we thought wisely, perhaps when we mix them with our delicious sauce they will soak it all up and become a delicacy worthy of a self-important monarch! It will be morsels of joy we shall consume tonight!
Not so
This sad discovery made Mister Balloon feel very sad, and very hungry.
Sad, hungry
Poor Mister Balloon. He was very very sad, and very hungry indeed. A depressed, ravenous balloon.
Suicidal?
Mister Balloon, if we are being honest, had more than one problem in his life. Not only was his dinner inedible slop, but he had very sore piles on his bottom, and worse than this, he was bald.
Suddenly, he had a "brain"wave! The noodles had another use!
Happy solution for all
And so versatile too! Check out this stylish do!

And so the moral of the story is this: if your food looks like brains or entrails, and tastes worse than a spoonful of pimple ointment, then find a friend who needs the food for his or her own unique purposes.
It might just save their life.
Peoples of the world: stop judging...and start living.

Steve wants to know how he can be happy like the balloon.
Posted by: David Barrett at October 19, 2005 01:14 AMWho would have thought that a balloon could obtain such enjoyment out of noodles? Or that you could get so much enjoyment out of a balloon? Or that I could get so much enjoyment out of a website? or that God could get so much enjoyment out of me?

Posted by: Zoomsicko at October 20, 2005 03:24 PMI think I will show all my newfound Dutch friends your wonderful creation...
They look a little scared. Why? Why must the world refuse to accept the joy of a balloon wearing second-hand noodles?
Posted by: Mr. Angry at October 20, 2005 08:28 PMWow... a blog entry that makes me want to vomit! Hurrah! And I'm just out of bed too! GO YOU!
Link to my blog, missus. I linked to yours. Obviously, mines not half as exciting as yours, but that's to be expected.
Honestly! Sheesh!
