crack for fatties in denial

Out working at clients all day… There’s been a surge in projects which means next month will be nice, but in the meantime I’m sitting on a pile of bills and my hands. I hate living hand to mouth.

I seem to have picked up the annoying habit of forgetting my power book’s power adapter.

Did our normal happy hour at JJ’s… The odd weather had even odder folks out – some of which we haven’t seen in a while. Afterward while dropping dvd rentals off I spied from across the street a huge sign in the Jack in the Box window:

“CHICKEN MONSTER TACOS – 99 Cents”

Well then… Considering all the hoopla from the left-coast Monkeytiers about Chicken Monster Tacos, (in response to a a previous non-blog praise of JITB tacos), I insisted we drive through and pick up dinner.

The verdict?………… why bother?

I’d draw a parallel to going to Starbuckos and ordering a double-decalf-skim-frapo-fuck-me-outa-four-dollars,… but…. I’m quite certain that Chicken Monster Tacos have damn near similar fat and calories to their bovine counterparts.

The only difference I could really observe was the shell of CMTs are more orange-red and the meat-paste filling is a taupey-gray rather than the brown-gray. Blindfolded, I’d challenge anyone to discern between the two.

So what’s the motivation? – (*monkeybear squelches urge to light-heartedly poke fun at the “Californian mindset”)

I didn’t take notice to see if there was a price difference between the two… so I don’t think it’s a “Status Thing”.

I suppose while woofing this deep-fried thing down some folks will say… “Hey- but it’s Chicken right?”

Pish..

So I’ll pass on the poultry – bring me the beef…. and no… I’m not blogging.
