cookie_pusher jane in one of the local la bou's (there are about 14 in a one-mile radius), there is a guy working at the register counter who is a cookie pusher. i am not sure if the "world of good tastes"/la bou corporation suits demanded, requested, or even suggested this particular business venture, or if he does it of his own volition, but damn it makes me not want to go in there. or, if i do go in, i attempt every possible maneuver to avoid a transaction or exchange of words with ol' "C.P." you could approach the counter with 17 roast beef paninis, and still he would proceed with his attempts to entice the Hedonist within you: "would you like anything else today? maybe, a Cookie?!" "nope. no thanks," i always say; inside i'm yelling, "just give me my goddamn total!" i do think he crosses the line quite a bit. i overheard him trying to convince an unsuspecting consumer of the Killer Deal she would be missing out on were she not to purchase a delectable baked good: "Cookies!" he exclaimed! "make the world go 'round!" (like la bou cookies have their own tag line). i was unable to assess her response, perhaps she indicated the $1.25 was a little over her lunchtime budget. "come on," he said. "how much is a Prozac?!" at this moment, i wished with all my heart it had been me he had asked, so i could reply haughtily, "70 cents generic. now lay off me with your stinkin' cookies, would ya?!" i'd probably be kicked out. fine, people. i'd rather avoid you and your cookie harrassment. la poo. 070726 ... fuffle hello please may i have a line of coke, you spooky poop. 070727 ... unhinged cookie monster isn't allowed to eat cookies anymore because it portrays an unhealthy image to kids. cookie monster can't be a cookie addict and you can't say 'merry christmas' on tv anymore. what the hell is this world coming to? 070727 ... ues i got upsold at a healthfood store yesterday... while buying water (water!) i was asked if i'd seen their array of delish' vegan sandwiches! the world has gone to hell. i'd rather go to mcdonalds than be sold a golden flaxseed oil injection. 070806 ... high viscosity the title of this post makes me think of the guy who sells the cookie monster his stash. i makes me laugh every time. 070806 ... jane i'm still pretty against mcdonalds, but i'm definitely into pretending i'm deaf. 070806 what's it to you? who go blather from
