I planned to write today’s update on Sunday, because I have some stuff that needs to get done before I leave for work this afternoon. But, as so often happens, my plans went circling down the ol’ poop catcher. Therefore… this one is going to be abbreviated. Sorry, but real life has a way of ruining things sometimes. Stupid real life.
One thing I hadn’t planned to do, was have lunch at Moe’s. But they just sent me a text message saying I can get any burrito, unlimited chips and salsa, and a regular drink for $5. Today until 3. So, I’m going to take them up on their little offer, on my way out of town.
In case you’re keeping an Excel spreadsheet or something, I will be purchasing the Joey Bag o’ Donuts burrito. However, I just call it the “Joey,” so as to slightly lessen the douchiness quotient. It will contain chicken, rice, pico, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, cilantro, and a light dusting of raw onions. Oh, it’s one tasty-ass lunch.
They also have really good sweet tea, inside the dispenser marked SOUTHERN. I always get my iced tea from SOUTHERN, never from NORTHERN. Because NORTHERN tastes like dish water.
I also need to visit the post office, buy some gas (grrr..), and go to the credit union.
If you can believe it, a publishing company paid me $300 to reprint this photo in a text book. Hey, who am I to question it? The check arrived on Saturday, from a publishing house we’re all familiar with. Unfortunately… it’s the only money I’ve ever collected from a New York publisher. Kinda ironic, huh? Like rain on your wedding day, or a free ride when you’ve already paid.
In any case, what did you have for lunch today? I’m also maintaining a spreadsheet, and will need all of you to report in on your midday meal. Please use the comments link below.
And I’m gonna go run my errands now, and drive forty miles to work.
I’ll be back tomorrow, with a real update.
See ya then.
Now playing in the bunker

Soup…as always.
I just ate a Lean Cuisine “Five Cheese Rigatoni” purchased from Super Target and carried from home to work in my bag this morning (not sure how detailed your spreadsheet is).
But now after seeing your picture of that pitiful-looking whopper, I realize I made a huge mistake. BK for dinner!
I never expected to be first. Heh.
Lunch consisted of a bowl of canned soup and some stale bread in my cube.
No, I’m not kidding.
Crap. How did 2 comments appear so quickly?
They just do Miss Q. If I would have stopped watching the poop splash video after a minute, I might have had a chance.
Left over or is it leftover, anyway pizza.
A sandwich on a crusty whole wheat roll with mayo, garden grown tomatoes, zatar seasoning, iceberg lettuce, dill pickles, cheddar cheese and swiss cheese. I also had four Vienna Fingers cookies from a package that has Elves on the front. I made the sandwich this morning and brought it to work in aluminum foil. The pickles kind of leaked out some juice and made one side of the bread a little soggy. It wasn’t bad. It was better than paying 6.00 for a stale sandwich from the commissary.
Cheeseburger and a bag of Munchos Potato Crisps.
And some Eastern water.
Depending on how Beloved’s meeting with his boss goes today, we’re either rejoicing and going out or glumly eating in. Probably a lot of drinking in eithr outcome.
Good luck, madz!!!!!
As almost always, a big-ass salad. Today’s consisted of:
– Romaine lettuce.
– Spinach.
– Red bell pepper.
– Sliced cherry tomatoes.
– Canned black-eyed peas.
– Sweet onion (Vidalia knock-off).
– Newman’s Light Balsamic dressing.
I am sated. At least for a couple of hours, when I’ll eat my second apple of the day. (No, I don’t eat a whole peck, as Jeff’s old office-mate used to. Only one or two.)
Despite having a similar lunch every weekday for about the past five years, I remain forever at least 30 pounds overweight. I blame it on too much booze in the evening.
And thanks to the Bunker Cam, lunch is started to regurgitate.
Imagine what it’s like when he gets a cold?!
How does he blow his nose? Stick it in a vacuum cleaner?
Zat a fucking wrench sticking out of his ear hole? Looks like it. About a 5/8″.
If his face looks like that, I can only imagine what the tip of his dick looks like. Maybe even a couple of danglies on the old scrotum.
I had a #9 Italian Club from Jimmy John’s.
And 2 bags of Sweetarts. Halloween Candy has arrived in the office.
Good Afternoon Surf Reporters…..
No lunch for me today. I usually wait til about 3 or 4 o’clock to eat when I’m working a 12 hour day.
Drinking coffee is another story.
I had four fried chickens and some plain white toast.
And a coke, Ma’am.
I had a cool water sandwich and a Sunday-go-to-meetin’ bun.
Tomorrow I’m having a toasted cheese sandwich.
I had a Stouffer’s Philly Steak and Cheese Sandwich, which I over-nuked resulting in dry and crunchy on one end, super chewy on the other and a third degree palate burn. Plus (highlight of meal) a 90 Calorie Fiber One Chewy Brownie. Them bitches is good.
1 lo-carb Monster from the vending machine, runny red beans and rice from the cafeteria. Usually they’re better, or maybe I’m usually hungrier.
Subway
12″ on whole wheat but I was good and only ate half.
Turkey
Ham
Lettuce
Tomato
Onions
Green Peppers
Sweet Peppers
Jalapeños
Banana Peppers
Spicy Mustard
Oregano
Salt and Pepper
Bag of oven-baked Lays BBQ potato chips
The secret with next-day Subway is to take it out of the fridge at 10a. Too-cold leftover Subway is vile.
Homemade meat pies.
I hope all the work I am putting into my current collection of original horror short stories one day nets me the sale of a stick figure doodle from an old notebook..
Some of you guys sound like you have some pretty good lunches.
Todays’ lunch was a hunk of roast pork loin with dijon mustard and an Ida Red apple. (I’m experimenting with apples to see what I prefer; so far it remains Granny Smith, with Jonnathans coming in second.) It was washed down with about 300ml (10oz) of Big K diet cola.
I do enjoy the Burritos at Moes although they seem to have largely folded here in the mitten state. I will forever maintain however that lettuce has no place whatsoever in a burrito.
“I will forever maintain however that lettuce has no place whatsoever in a burrito”
I second that!
Honey Crisp Apples – the best Jerry. the Best.
Second that. Love love Honey Crisp apples!
Large mug of (hot) tea, industrial strength, with milk and sugar.
Half of a 6-inch Subway cheese steak sandwich & a glass of iced tea.
No extras on the sandwich, I’m a sandwich purist 🙂
Walked 2 miles before lunch, this was my reward.
I’ve been having these new meal replacement shakes (not slimfast) for breakfast and lunch for about a week now. However, the WHORE GODDAMN BITCH in accounting ordered some stuffed pizza and told me to help myself. So I’m thinking about it. Real hard.
I’m losing weight. I’m already close to giving up, I’m not THAT fat. I saw a show late last night, “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” where people get themselves in jam and nearly die. Lost at sea and shit like that. This one guy got lost in the Australian desert and wandered around for 6 days, I think. When they found him he’d lost about 50 pounds. I was thinking about putting some gas in my car, pointing it towards a desert and driving until I run out of gas. Then I’ll hope to get found before I die, but not before I lose 50 pounds.
A large Jet’s pizza and a half gallon of milk.
Three Marlboro Red’s for dessert.
All that milk and cheese is bound to erupt a storm in your ass.
Left over home made chili from yesterday, with a scoop of rice, minced onion, and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Also added about a tablespoon of good hot sauce, Mike’s Ultimate Insanity. I am farting like a donkey this afternoon.
“DONKEY FARTS!!!” I’m trying to recall who said that. I’m pretty sure it was Mildred Pierce.
Is that a local sauce? I use a lot of Dave’s Insanity Sauce. Put it on pizza, in spaghetti, in chili and sometime spread it on sandwiches. The sauces that no one can stand to be around you when you eat, due to their watering eyes, are the best. Surprised I have intestines left at all.
Damn dude, I use Dave’s in chili and that’s it. That stuff is toxic. I can put a couple drops of it in a big ol kettle of chili and it gives it a nice heat that I like. There’s a reason the label says to stay away from it if you have a heart condition. It also says something about being used to strip wax off of floors. I still have the same bottle I bought about 6 years ago.
I go thru a bottle a week. Probably why I shit my weight every day.
Flamethrower !!
Ho-made turkey sandwich and pickles. And I know the Ho that made it.
By the way, I’ve always wanted to punch Alanis Morissette in the head and explain the difference between ironic and unfortunate. Rain on your wedding day is ironic if your a weather man. Otherwise, not so much.
I don’t think you need to justify punching Alanis Morissette
Oh hell no. punch away. uppercut that wingnut ga-ga while you are at it.
Extra-hungry for lunch today because I skipped breakfast:
Patty melt with fries (no salt)
Washed it down with a Big K cola
I love paatty melts. Food of the gods, I tell ya!
I’m not sure the idea is original, but the name is awesome: the Fatty Melt. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2008/10/hamburger-fatty-melt-burger-with-grilled-cheese-sandwich-buns-recipe.html
.
Replace the tomato slice with some grilled onions on the burger, and this seems like something I should try to make. Thanks for the tip!
Coulpe of whites. GottabeinSaltLakebytomorrow@7pm. I’minIndynowandgottago. 🙂
Willin’?
French fried taters. Biscuts and mustard, ummhumm.
Did you order the big-uns?
Yessir, reckon I did. Ummhmm.
some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade
Damn near cut his head plum in two.
Tuna salad, red onion, hard-boiled egg, capers, with one of the very last home-grown tomatoes from my Grandma’s garden. Soon, I will be giving up on tomatoes until next summer. I refuse to eat one of those waxy, bland “not-tomato” things from the grocery store.
BTW, opening a big pouch of tuna in an office full of women? Hilarious. The jokes just seem to write themselves.
Chicken and string beans white rice and an egg roll at a local Chinese establishment then across the street for a ralph’s Italian ice. A medium no sugar added lemon and creamsicle.
Was told I have to watch my cholesterol, so I watched two over-easy fried eggs with fried potatoes on the side and two slices buttered toast for about three seconds before I ate it.
whew, good thing you didn’t have any bacon or sausage.
Actually, I only splurge on eggs about twice a month. Today just happened to be one of those days. You can get real tired of baked chicken, steamed vegetables and no red meats. Reading every label before you eat takes the fun out.
You got $300 for a picture of a burger? How does that shit happen?
If you call that a burger…
But I was wondering the same thing! I need to trademark my silly pics! 🙂
Chicken salad sandwich that I packed in a baggie last night.
A can of Bush’s beans and a half pound of Boar’s Head low salt ham.
A ready-pack chicken Caesar salad that I picked up at the grocery store on the way to work this a.m. I just finished an Atkins Day Break Chocolate Chip Crisp Bar (with a large glass glass of water) for a snack. Gotta watch the carbs going in, ’cause I’ve already got a hell of a lot of them stored.
Thank God there’s no carbs in vodka.
A box of Crunch and Munch, half a bag of Sweet & Salty snack mix, and an Atkins Bar.
Check out the very appropriate name Jeff has given today’s bunker cam photo.
The guy doesn’t look very happy. After having all of that work done, he remains dissatisfied……
Lunch: I went across the road to King Pollo. I’m having chicken tonight, so I got the three beef tacos. Damn good.
.
I had All-You-Can-Eat Sushi for lunch today. Normally I don’t go that fancy, but it was my friend’s first day back to work from a long maternity leave, so it was my ‘Congratulations, eat fish’ and ‘Welcome Back, eat fish.’ During the time she was off she had a birthday so it was also a ‘Happy Birthday, eat fish’ affair. She enjoyed it. For some reason though today I wasn’t too into it so I had a few pieces then wished I was eating lasagna or something. Weird, I know.
The “fast food as it really looks” is what brought me to WVSR, years ago.
And homemade potato leek soup for lunch.
Lunch: I had a 2 egg cheese omlette with crushed red pepper and drank a glass of apple cider. Plus a handful of caramel popcorn I bought from a cub scout peddling door to door this weekend.
Lunch today consisted of a sandwich with the following ingredients–
Roast Beef
Salami
Turkey Breast
Lettuce
Provolone Cheese
Honey Mustard
Mayo
Tortilla Chips
on white bread
with a pickle on the side and some diet mt. dew…and I think I had a generic snack cake of some sort and some carrots too.
What’s sad is the fellow in the bunker cam pic has probably had heterosexual relations more recently than I have. Long about when did people start getting so freaking weird…?
Lunch today: Three buttermilk blueberry pancakes topped with butter and maple syrup.
lunch was Cheese of the Cottage topped with bacon bits..
I have to low carb my life because of Wilford Brimley disease.. he delivers my supplies riding in like the pic from yesterdays post.
luckily, i am a meat and veggies lover so it’s not that hard.. its the damn mcdonalds french fries that make me go comatose.. that and mashed potatos.. so I no eaty..
I had beenie weenies. Used leftover baked beans I made on the weekend and threw in four cut up Boar’s Head wieners with natural casing.
Love the snap.
Agreed! Board head makes the best natural casing snappy dogs!
Jesus – BOARS head – not a parlor game.
Freaking out a little right now; Ironic was playing on Songbird and the line “Like rain on your wedding day, or a free ride when you’ve already paid.” came out of my speakers at the exact instant I read it. Feeling like I need to by a lottery ticket or something.
And lunch was just a can of Chunky clam chowder. Meh.
I like the Chunky Clam Chowder…for a canned chowder it really is pretty good. Not Boundary House restaurant good, but still pretty decent.
Lunch was a peanut butter and Fluff sandwich and a yogurt. Blueberry. I washed it all down with a cup of coffee. It helps me keep my edge. 🙂
Ice cream sundae and a chocolate shake.
I just had a big got-dam bowl of oatmeal, suck on that you jealous bastards!
Out and about the big city, so we had Baja Fresh for lunch – 2-taco combo. Mmmmmm. With a large Diet Coke.
Yesterday was leftover spaghetti and meat sauce (with ground beef, green peppers, celery, green onions, carrots and italian seasoning) covered in shredded old/sharp cheddar.
Today was leftover (Canadian) Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes.
Both lunches were delicious. There is a co-workers retirement luncheon on Thursday at a fancy Italian restaurant and Friday is a vacation day so I should be drinking by noon, it is a good week for lunches!
