Baguettes and Penguins



"Penguin Princesses" These are what I call the very young girls who, even in 112 degree temperatures, wear jeans so tight that they literally cannot bend their knees to walk. So they have this very odd, side to side gait that makes them look like groups of little penguins waddling along sidewalks and malls.
I was approached by a group of these penguin princesses in the Deli section of the grocery store today. I had just had a lovely swim and laid out and felt...good.
"Um, ewwoohhh,yuh, excuse me? Like, where's the baguettes?"
"All of these...are baguettes"
"Ewwwohhh, yuh, like, ALL of them?"
"Yes"
"Ewwohhh, um, like, soooo, what one do I buy?"
"Well, what are gonna' do with it, serve it with?"
"Ewwwohhhh, like, you mean,with dinner or whut?"

"eeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
This is a sound I've recently started hearing in my brain at the base of my skull where the headache starts.
I'm convinced it's my brain trying to run away and only succeeding in going round and round the inside of my head on a rusted, squeaky, neuron wheel.
Me, feeling panicky,"EXCUSE ME, Counter man, guy! Yes! Uh, could you please help these young ladies in their selection of a ...BAGUETTE?! Great! Thank you SO much!"
As I'm walking away..."Ewwohhh, so like, are ALL of these baguettes?"
"eeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE"
