Years From Now!
Years from now some modern classic rock station will be doing a regular "focus" feature on U2. And sometime around 2PM they'll anounce, with self-sastisfied smugness, that they are playing a "deep cut" -- the song "Numb." Now "numb" was actually released as a single, but it was the nadir of their career popularity-wise (it was the first single from the horrid "Zooropa" CD, and the band had realized that they better use the pent-up expectations of their fans on the first single and not waste the one good track, "Staring at the Sun," which was released second. "Numb" is how your editors feel today, so it was with amazement that the Monz caught on about this in relaying today's lunch, doing so in a numb-ers theme:
>>Today's lunch is a #4 from the "new" chinese place. I think a #4 is Schezwan Chicken (complete with the warning "HOT"), egg roll, and shrimp fried rice. But since I'm scared of shrimp from storefront chinese places, I substituted chicken FR. I decided to venture into the world of chinese food numbered specials just for the fun and the price -- it is $4.25!!! This is more than half off what it would cost ala carte!
Unlike the rest of my life, I hope this meal doesn't rock!<<
Spooky.
