Yesterday, I went to Walgreens to pick up some stuff.

- Laundry detergent. (Ive been buying the cheapo off-brands. Im done wit dat.)
- Cashews. (My mom was addicted to them. Theyre a treat for me, but I like them old school, sweet & freshly roasted.)
- Vitamin water. (Expensive, but they make me feel good. The lemonade flavor in particular.)
- Pringles. (On sale at 79 cents. Why not?)

And my impulse buy? The National Enquirer.

Heh, I dont think Ive bought one in decades, but this one seemed like an Important Issue.

- Brad was SO lying to Jennifer. Brad & Angelina's secret life is exposed. Jen is PISSED.
- Oprah & Dr. Phil are NOT getting along. Theyre at WAR.
- Britney's husband taking drugs with hookers in Vegas.

Huh? HUH? Yeah, I know you would buy a copy too.

And lookit:

- Denise Richard dumped her marital mattress! Charlie Sheen is laser-removing the Denise tattoo on his wrist!
- Fran Drescher has been taking blow job lessons!
- Martha donated 25 grand on the downlow for a computer lab at the request of her friends in the slammer. (You KNOW thats gonna make the Times.)
- The teacher who had kids with the teenager is selling her story. (Gonna be news..)
- Kobe spends 50 grand to remarry his wife. (*makes "L for Loser" hand sign)
- The Sears Tower & the Golden Gate Bridge were definitely targeted by Osama bin Laden.
- Hef's orgy ritual at the mansion: Unprotected sex with 10 women at a time, weed, oral sex and then the girls cheer on as he pleasures himself. Oh, and apparently he's fascinated by inter-racial gay sex, which plays constantly on giant screens.
(I believe it.)

All in the current issue!

Yes, I know. The Enquirer is a rag. But, they seem to break stories that the regular rags pick up on later and run with gusto without mentioning where they got it.
And this stuff is important.

Is it a fast when all you eat are cashews, Pringles and drink vitamin water?

Better than a pizza.

Wow, all that and the Enquirer.

Whoo, Id better slow down on this self-destructive path Im on.
