Dreaming of Squirreli

Thanks to our resident Italian and the illustrious keymaster, the hot-wired tv featured a Jimmy Fallon clip of the reunited cast of California Dreams today. The easily forgotten step-sister of Saved by the Bell, California Dreams' only saving grace is a catchy theme song about attitudinal surf dudes sleeping in the skin-cancer-causing California sun. Aside from some ABC family movies, the cast has, cumulatively done nothing since 1996...although one of them did gain a decent amount of weight, a fact made all the more noticeable by his decision to shave his head bald. So...with cheap McDonald's food and an off-pitch teen-comedy theme song to eat it by, the 2pm Lunch Crew was content to discuss the elusive Shamrock Shake and the mystery of why it is apparently not a heavily consumed product on the east side. (Socioeconomics is not a contributing factor, as both wealthy non-McDonald fans as well as east-side-poor (not to be confused with regular ole 'poor') drive thru junkies were polled.)

But alas, as in most lunchrooms across the nation, California Dreams gave way to Colbert Vancouverage. Raining on the jovial parade of Colbert zingers, however, was the reemerging squirreli. (Note: the 2pm Lunch Crew has a crippling and debilitating infestation of squirrels, aka...the squirreli. The squirreli are hoarders, constantly in search of nuts to steal and hide, only to lose again. The squirreli are obnoxious and of the grey variety. They are not afraid of humans, but are prone to bite the hand that feeds them, so any and all attempts of domestication should be avoided.) Today, the squirreli argued about nuts and continued their futile search to find a haystack in a pile of needles. (Yes, the squirreli are THAT ridiculous).
