SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

I'M SUPER, THANKS FOR ASKING

Saw this at 7-Eleven during lunch:

Oh man. Superman Slurpees.

There are some things I cannot resist.

A Slurpee in a refillable cup made in the shape of Superman's emblem? That's like heroin for me.

My friend Rommie and I had to have one each.

When I shot this photo, the cashier behind the counter had her back to us.

"Wow. I just saw a flash of lightning real close," she said, not taking into account it might have been a camera flash.

Then she saw me trying to take a photo of something else in the store.

"Nope, can't do that," she said.

"You can't?"

"Nope."

"I'm sorry," I told her. "I was unaware that 7-Eleven had a strict photographic policy."

"I've been here 18 years and we've never allowed that," she said.

When we got back in my truck, Rommie said, "The hidden nugget in that statement is that she's worked there for 18 years."

What was I trying to photograph?

A bag of Doritos.

Well, not just any bag of Doritos.

I had no idea that Superman could be rendered defenseless by the application of artificial guacamole flavoring.

You learn something every day.
