Coke and Paranoia
What?
Something is up. Something HAS to be up. I don't watch enough television (read: *any* television) in order for this to just be a case of being overly influenced by the things I've seen on it. So now the problem is trying to figure out exactly what it all means . . .
I am referring to the, not one, not two, but THREE very shiny, generic and new looking Coca-Cola distribution vehicles I saw on my 20 minute drive to work today. They were not traveling together. I remember noticing the first one - it just looked odd. Oddly clean, oddly new, and just brimming with redness and generic Coca-Cola branding. Seriously, I took notice of it because it was almost creepy in its perfection. It was kind of like watching a computer generated Coca-Cola truck graphic drive down the street. Then I saw another and then another and then another. All had this same way too clean, way too red, way too Coca-Cola-y look about them.
So now I am trying to figure out what is up. I fear evil forces are at work here, but I just can't figure out what they might wish to do. But seriously, HOW brilliant is it to devise a plan of dirty deeds using an American icon such as Coca-Cola to lull your hapless victims into a state of non-chalance ("No one will ever suspect the big shiny Coke trucks, America LOVES Coke!")? The only problem IS Mr. and Mrs Evil-Doer, that distribution vehicles are always dirty! Ha! They are imperfect, never new! You're not getting anything over on me. No way.
Um, I am going to go back to work now.

Yeah, so you are saying that everything ELSE in that entry sounds fine and normal but that . . . is that what you are telling me? That is what I hear you telling me.
Oh phew, good. For a minute there I thought I sounded like a crazy lady, but instead I am just a lady that can't count.

THAT is not counting. That is why I can't count to 3 correctly but I *can* recite pi
...up to 19 digits, and counting. But not that kind of counting.
Dork. You can do much better. I know you can at least count to 13
*snort*
:P

Look, memorizing pi to the 19th digit is fine and all, but what in the hell are you waiting for& LEARN THE 20TH DIGIT FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersy, Deleware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. Nothing like colonies...
