I went to another HS football game on Friday.  I'm going to start collecting the little color programs they hand out and then send them all to Homer at the end of the year as a secret Santa gift (though I suppose it won't be much of a secret anymore).  I think he'll, um, appreciate them.  

  My co-worker handed me some sort of sugar free gum at the game.  Most vile stuff I've ever had in my mouth, including mushrooms and Sally Bagwell.  I spit it out after a few minutes, but I swear to christ my taste buds are permanently ruined.  I can't get this taste out of my mouth no matter how many Coors Lights I ingest.  I even tried scotch.  I've brushed my teeth a dozen times, swished black coffee...I'm about to lick my dog's butt to try and quell this nastiness.  I don't see how you gum chewers do it.  That might be my last chew ever in life.
