Did anyone even notice that I did not eat any actual food for our entire freshman year? I think it took me about a week to find out that there was a lifetime supply of missle pops at the Cannon Center, and that while my meal ticket allowed me in the front door, it did not force me to eat anything I did not like. And what I liked were missle pops. I often wore my trench coat to dinner, because I found that my wide inner pocket could hold about 2 dozen missle pops. I also found that when I cranked my small refrigerator in my room up to high, it could keep 100 or so missle pops chilled rather nicely, to be eaten throughout the following day.
Of course, since I was all hopped up on sugar from the night before, I rarely if ever had breakfast. About mid-semester someone mentioned that I could use my meal ticket to get a free bag lunch, which included a cold sandwich, an apple, a cookie, and two sodas. Ah, it was a simpler time, when Apple Slice was plentiful on campus...and so that was all I ever selected.
Apple Slice and missle pops. Mmmmm.
My Bishop at the time was the guy who ran the Cannon Center (in 1986-87). Wish I could remember his name...
Dear God, this whole blog is like a blast from my past!
Plastique-- oh my god!!!
