...these are their stories.

today i was driving into work and i looked over at a blue ford focus, only to see what looked like the 18 year old version of the tall scary looking rapper dude on law and order svu. i had to google the show to remember that his name is ice-t, however my gut instinct was to tell this young man that he looked like that rapper guy from law and order svu. i would have just said law and order, but for those of us who watch, we know that's not sufficient.

however, while i would have liked to inform him of this resemblance, anyone who knows what ice-t looks like would also know that if you see his 18 year old twin driving down the street, yelling something out your window probably is not the best idea. also, he most likely wouldn't know what i was talking about.

people who watch law and order svu all look alike. we are a very unique group of people and we all have that look in our eye. that look that says..."hey, i want to watch a crime show, but not any crime show. i want to see some sexually based offenses that are considered especially heinous. also, i would like to know that the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the special victims unit"....and we all want to know these stories.

also, those us who watch also have had this happen:

Person 1 - "hey, what are you watching"
Person 2 - "law and order svu"
***show comes back on***
Person 1 - "oh, i've seen this one, want me to tell you what happens?"
Person 2 - "yeah, i've seen it too, it's a good one though...can you believe it's the mom?!?"

every morning i stop and get my $1 diet coke at mcdonalds and 90% of the time they get it right. however, every now and then, i go to take a big gulp and get a mouthful of regular coke. this would be a bad situation if it weren't for the fact that i love mcdonalds cokes. what i don't love is the 8000 calories. so to make up for it, i just don't eat breakfast. if i am lucky enough for the universe to provide me a regular coke, i don't want to mess with that. granted there is no nutritional value in 32 oz of coca cola...but we all need a big cup of empty calories every now and then. i also like to think that they gave my diet to someone who ordered regular...and anyone who drinks regular and accidentally takes a big swig of diet coke knows what that situation is going to be like...and i think that is hilarious.
