You Asked for It

| | Comments (12)

Our ghetto supermarket--that is severely lacking in all specialty brands or specific food items that I love--suddenly had Sabra brand hummus. This hummus is vastly superior to Tribe of Two Sheiks brand, and includes little nice touches like a swirl of olive oil or a sprinkling of pine nuts. The reason for such a delicacy to enter our story was evident by the handwritten note on a piece of florescent orange tag board taped up next to the display, claiming: "You asked for it!" It struck me as a rather ominous way to announce they'd begun stocking a requested item. Maybe, "By request!" or even "New!" would have been made for more invititng signage. As it was, it almost seemed like a warning.

This is all to say here; here, are my shoes.

Hot shoes

Are you picturing them with very cushy lining and the perfect balance on the heel? I hope so!

Also, did anyone else think that the gothic zombie dance that opened last night's "So You Think You Can Dance" was the best dance routine they've ever seen on television? Like, ever?

They are incredibly cute. I have kind of been hoping that the metallic shoe deal would go away quietly, as in the south they are always popular with the older ladies, but these have changed my mind. Live on, metallic shoes!

Sabra is the bomb. C-Town down my block has a whole fridge devoted to it. I like the "supremely Spicy."
Also, it is made in Astoria, Queens. FYI

We need to take those shoes out for margaritas.

And I totally loved the zombie dance! It made sense that the choreographer hasn't done anything else on that show. Although (ugh) he used to do all the old school (i.e. 1999) Britney and N Sync.

This website has the benefit of being 1) hilarious--including "all that he believes in" and 2) having a clickable link to the zombie dance for any who missed it!

Word on the street is "You Asked For It!" was the store sign-making guy's second attempt after "Finally, You Can Stop Calling About The Goddamn Hummus!" was denied by the manager.
