Poisonous Fortune Cookies And A Lazy Easter Bunny
The Easter Bunny must have forgotten to stop by Kappa Sigma this morning, because I didn’t find a basket full of candy on my desk when I woke up. I wasn’t too upset. I went to Dairy Queen to get my sugar fix. I bought a large vanilla ice cream cone with sprinkles.
I went with Jorge, Nathan, and Keegan to a little Chinese buffet place for Easter dinner. Chinese food isn’t the standard Easter meal, but it tastes decent and is filling. My fortune cookie told me I would soon be reunited with an old friend; I’ve had that one before. Getting a fortune you’ve already had is a lame and disappointing experience. Wouldn’t it be scary if you ate your fortune cookie and then read this on the little piece of paper: The cookie you just ate had potassium cyanide in it? I don’t know that I’d eat any more fortune cookies—because I’d either be too scared or too dead.
Over at the library there’s this little display called the Human Race Machine. It takes a picture of your face and morphs it so you can see how you would look if you were a member of another race. It can also age your face so you can see how you will look at 45 or whenever. I wasn’t impressed with the race change, but the aging thing was cool. There was also a program that lets you pick a disorder so you can see what you’d look like with the disorder. Disorder D gave me a huge chin; disorder A gave me squinty, crossed eyes; disorder C gave me a bloated appearance. Interesting. I guess.

Mike, sir, you are crazy. Who thinks about fortune cookies like that? Of course, the obvious solution to your worries is to read your fortune before you eat the cookie.

Hey, Mike, we had chinese food on Easter, too.
Also, Kayla said the same thing Seth did. (Kayla is Mike's sister). Reading the fortune first does make sense, but I don't think a fortune would ever alert you to danger so directly. It would say something vague like Jacob's did. (Jacob is Mike's youngest brother). Jacob's fortune read - "Everything will come your way."
That would certainly include a poisonous fortune cookie, but who would guess?
Potassium cyanide and zombies. Interesting.
......We'll entertain any notion around here.

my fortune cookies always tell me the truth.

Now, sir Papaya, why did you not introduce yourself when we were making introductions? I am thoroughly disappointed with the cowardly readership that Mike seems to attract.
Mike, start writing more inspiring blogs. These people need to get riled up.
Anywho, Mike, you need to write a new blog.
