So I had been fasting since Monday. Today I broke my fast. Couldn’t decide where to go for lunch, ended up at Chipotle. I ordered three soft tacos, steak, with mild salsa. It was a busy lunch hour and the man behind the counter made a mistake and laded my tacos with the hot salsa. “Do you want me to make you new tacos?” “Nah, I like the hot salsa too. It’s all good. Just put some of the mild on top.” Now it’s twelve hours later and I’m in agony. **TMI TO FOLLOW** \* I’m perched on the porcelain throne, and at this point I would swear my stomach didn’t digest the salsa at all. MY GOD IT BURNS. * * * ---

For some reason this reminds me of a line from one of the _The Little Rascals_ shows. ‘See what you get for being smart?’ ---

Fasting has some health benefits. Apparently, one of the health benefits is not a bullet proof rectum. Yeah, that salsa really rectum. ---

Reminds me of when, after a crazy overtime stint where I didn’t eat for two days and stumbled home to a crash-sleep, I woke up in a daze and stumbled to the fridge acting purely on primal survival instincts. Apparantly, my survival instincts have suffered some genetic drift over the millennia, because I came to consciousness staring at an emptied jar of cocktail onions and empty tub of hummus. :o barf smiley ensued :o ---

Those ads for Head-On? “Apply directly to the forehead”? There’s a market for something like that for one’s other end. The slogan writes itself. ---

[QUOTE=Philster] Yeah, that salsa really rectum. [/QUOTE] Rectum? Damn near killed 'im! _rimshot_ Yeah, I’m better now. Was fasting for health reasons - I was coming off a five-day vacation in Vegas and was sick of the bloated feeling from heavy drinking and all-you-can-eat buffets. Though, I gotta say - I really liked the way I felt after the fast. I might do another one soon. …I’ll break this next fast with something a bit tamer. Mild farina, perhaps. Or a nice steamed carrot. ---
