He means well. He really does. I asked Mike to bring home salad, which he did. But he also brought me a big bag of potato chips. I love potato chips, but I told Mike a long time ago to quit buying me Lay’s chips. I used to sort of like them, but they did something to them so that that are now flavorless. Taking out the transfats, maybe? I dunno, all I know is that they now taste like cardboard. I really hate them now, and I clearly expressed this to Mike the last time he brought them home for me. No more of these things, they really suck. PLEASE bring me Wise chips, or nothing. ANYTHING but Lay’s, they are really bad. “Same great flavor” it says on the bag. Yeah, “same great flavor”, my ass. Lay’s chips never really had much flavor to begin with, but since they stopped using trans-fats to fry them in, they have NO flavor at all. How can anyone be satisfied by eating this crap?

So now, he came home with another Hugh Jass bag of Lay’s chips for me. I didn’t even ask for chips, I just asked for salad to have with dinner. But he bought pretzels for himself, and flavorless chips for me. Not even any onion dip to give them a little flavor. Just plain old cardboard, fried in some flavorless oil, chips.

To annoy me even more, the bag had a promo for the “Make-A-Wish Foundation”. Color me an evil bitch, but this charity annoys the living hell out of me. Why does it have to be just for terminally ill CHILDREN? What about terminally ill ADULTS, who might have a final wish? Do they do anything for them? I doubt it. That is why I hate this charity, and won’t donate to it.

“Make-A-Wish” encourages kids to be greedy. Back in the days before I got satellite radio, around the holidaze, a local radio station did a fund-raising drive for “Make-A-Wish”. I guess they still do it, but now, I don’t have to hear about it…thank goodness for commercial-free XM radio!

They had this one kid on there, who said that all he wanted was a set of Pokemon cards. Really, that was ALL HE WANTED. But the foundation pushed him to “wish bigger”, but the kid really didn’t want anything besides the Pokemon cards. He finally said he wanted to go to Hawaii, or something like that, because they wanted him to have a BIG wish.

I hope they at least gave him the damned Pokemon cards that he wanted. Way to go, MAW, for encouraging greed in a kid, when it doesn’t exist. They will NEVER get a dime of my money, and that’s all the more reason not to buy flavorless potato chips that advertise this crap on their bags.

If this was a charity for ALL terminally ill people, I would not have a problem with it. And if I were terminally ill, and all I wanted as a final wish was a set of current Red Sox baseball cards…or a bag of nice, flavorful WISE potato chips, they should just give it to me and not push me to demand more.

Twenty-five cents from the profits of that stupid bag of chips went to Make-A-Wish. Twenty-five cents that could have better gone to make the damned chips taste better. That is really all I care about when I buy potato chips…DO THEY TASTE GOOD? If I did want to donate to Make-A-Wish, or some other charity, I woud just send them money directly, not buy some nasty-assed, flavorless chips to do so.

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to locate the clue-by-four, and beat Mike over the head with it. I need to make sure that he NEVER buys me Lay’s chips ever again.
