Vending Machines
(i actually had a cool background, but it was being weird
i had PICS weren't you proud of me?
anyhow
they'll come up at some point)

I know, I know, you�re probably thinking �how the heck did I get from a �guys� page to a �vending machines� page

Or
If you�re a tad more eloquent
Like Claudia
thenonsquirrel (12:20:28 AM): I must admit that my confused brain sees no connection

but there is a link
I swear

thenonsquirrel (12:12:32 AM): what you actually need
thenonsquirrel (12:12:38 AM): is a warm male body vending machine

and it�s true
we do need vending machines that dispense guys
you could go
and for less than a dollar (but of course, the price would HAVE to go up every year)
you could get whatever you want
unless of course you don�t want the standard stuff
that gets a bit harder

the thing is
there�s far more of a parallel between guys and vending machines than anyone�d like to admit
sometimes what you get is very
VERY sweet
sometimes you try something unfamiliar and it�s
nasty
but usually you know what you�re looking for, you go for something that has that characteristic, then it either hits the spot or doesn�t
<shrugs>
not that I have a whole lot of experience
but hey
(oh, btw � that �hits the spot� part is a reference to a phrase my grandpa uses to describe food. do not, and I repeat, DO NOT ascribe any truly dirty meanings to it
actually, the dirty meaning is kinda appropriate�.)

anyway
the reason that I�m creating this site is that I�m a vending machine junkie
yes
I am
It�s horrible, I know
But it�s true
I go to the vending machines every day after school
Sometimes before school
And even
Occasionally
During my open hours
Candy, cheetos, chips
You name it
I�ve bought it
I�m not really sure why, either
I like eating good food
Not dry, overly packed with preservatives, mass produced stuff
Maybe it�s the appeal of the machines themselves
They�re so convenient
Just empty the change left in your pocket into a little slit
Poke a couple of buttons
A little thingy spins
Candy falls
And you�ve got nourishment
Or at least something that will pass for it
I don�t rush to buy food from ppl
I�d never think of eating a snack so regularly after school if there weren�t any machines
Wouldn�t bring my own
Wouldn�t run over to a gas station
I�d just forget abt it
So I think they should be banned
They make us unhealthy
Sell us stuff we not only don�t need, but also don�t really want
They�re inherently ugly
They take up space
I mean
Really
What purpose do they serve?
Maybe, because they make such good targets for vandalism
They might save the school money
After all
It�s the owners of the machine that have to service them
I guess that would be a reason to keep them
Anyhow
That�s my rant
I hope it was at least vaguely amusing
this is a really cool link- "what has been sold in vending machines"
check out everything on it, too
it says some really interesting stuff
like, for instance,
the first vending machine was an automatic holy water dispenser
if it sells...
