I Want Some of That Convention Pudding! (page 2)

cold coffee, frozen orange juice, no-name brand sodas that tasted like chilled snot, nasty hoagies that no amount of mayo helped, roast beef sandwiches that tasted like sandpaper...

The bag of fruit was the safest thing... once you fought off the fruit flies.

Hey, how come we never got roast beef sandwiches?

In Australia we had amazing fresh doughnuts... that was WAY back.

I had a major problem with conventions even when I was in.

For a start, any work conference I'd ever been to would run from 9:30am to 3:00pm, then they would have snacks and water available right through the day, a 20 minute morning tea break (food provided), a one hour lunch break (food provided) and a 20 minute afternoon tea (again provided).

I can't believe that these New York cronies considered it Kosher to make parents endure a full 8 hour day with their children for a start. Add in the fact that they banished the prams (at my convention at least) and made it seem weak and unscriptural to go out for a break at some point, and the icing on the cake was when some genius decided it best that they would add the burden that people prepare all their own food for the day.

I guess the faithful and discreet slave aren't made up of the sharpest tools in the shed.

Be glad. You're better off going to Arby's... at least it resembles roast beef... and the Horsey sauce helps

PS... I have no idea what grits are.

I forgot about the frozen orange juices. My homey's little 4 year old asked me to poke a straw into her little juice box similar to those frozen orange juices we had back at the conventions.
