Beam me up, Chester. I know, I know, I’m mixing my chips mascots. So I’m sitting here doing some online shopping for por… Portnoy’s Complaint first editions, that’s the ticket, and I’m snacking on a little dollar-sized bag of Chili Cheese Fritos. Still with me? I don’t wanna go too fast and lose you. So I reach into the bag and retrieve a single Frito, a.k.a. FritoSolo to those in the industry, and bring it up to my mouth. Apparently, my success rate of managing to put a Frito in my mouth without any mishaps along the way is not as high as I would have thought. I reached for my mouth yet brushed the Frito against my lip with just the right force, from the just right angle to cause me to fumble my Frito just like I were Mark Sanchez running into a butt.
But here’s where things get interesting. In my peripheral vision I saw the Frito fall. It fell straight down, as Fritos tend to fall, and struck the outside of the hand-pouch of my hoodie and bounced then to I know not where. No, really, I don’t know where. I roll back in my chair and look down to find the fallen Frito and it is nowhere to be seen. I mean, no where. This is a simple desk with four legs and there’s no clutter about the floor. There are no little animals running about who could have some snatched it before I could find it. There’s nothing on the floor for it to fall behind. It didn’t fall into my hoodie pouch. I checked multiple times. This Frito fucking flew the coop. The Frito has vanished. This is one freaky Frito. I don’t mind telling you, I’m afraid to drop anything else.
