I like cheesy poofs.
Feb. 7th, 2006 07:34 amThere's this game I'd never heard of, "Chubby Bunny", where you see how many are marshmallows you can stuff into your mouth and still say "Chubby Bunny" in an intelligible fashion. The white puffy mess bulging out of your mouth makes it looks like you're eating a rabbit, I dunno. So at her party Tegin has this oversized barrel full of cheesy poofs, and someone comes up with the bright idea of playing Chubby Bunny with cheesy poofs. There are four of us starting out but soon it's down to Fudjo and me, cramming cheesy poof after cheesy poof into our mouths, between lips and gum, cheeks bulging, eyes watering, howling "chhuuuurbbehh buuuhnneeehh!!!" "cheuuurzheeehh pooouuuufffff!!!!"
Oh god there's pictures
Thing about cheesy poofs, they're kinda crunchy-scratchy, not as bad as Captain Crunch cereal but pack your mouth full of them and it turns into a wad of scouring abrasive orange cheddar pain, I think I abraded half my gums away, the edges of my tongue and the insides of my cheeks are really tender this morning, and I think I can still taste poof. But hey that's showbiz.
And Tegin has a fingerboard, this thing for building the climbing-strength, doing fingery hangs and pull-ups with different sized jugs and holds. I haven't tried doing pull-ups since P.E. in elementary school; yeah with climbing sometimes your doing pull-up type things but there's no form and half the time you're smearing off the wall or whatever, but real live pull-ups, I can actually do them, which is surprising. And climbing/work friend Ethan showed us how to do one-arm pull-ups. You don't just hang by one hand and try to drag yourself up, because nobody in the world has that kind of strength/weight ratio, but if you hang by one hand and grab your wrist with your other (free) hand, it steadies you and does something to your body’s position and you can totally do a one-arm pull up! Try not to pull too much with the hand around your wrist because that's cheating, and you probably have to cheat a little bit but I'm telling you try it you can totally do it. It's comforting to know that if you're, like, hanging by one hand from a helicopter flying a hundred feet over the city, there's a reasonable way you can pull yourself up on the skid and back into the cabin.
