SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

SLOPPY JOES, SLOP-SLOPPY JOES

I know what I want for Arbor Day:

The Lunch Lady Action Figure from Archie McPhee.

For only $9.95. you get:

This Lunch Lady Action Figure will take you back to those glorious "hot lunch" days of sloppy joes, fish sticks and mini milk cartons. Each 5-1/4" tall, hard vinyl figure comes with a scoop, a food tray, a serving station and a sticker sheet featuring images of delicious hot entrées.

The lunch lady at my Catholic grade school (Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle, for those who were wondering) was pretty nice. She was nothing like Chris Farley, who set the standard for obese, mole-ridden food workers in his depiction of the woman in Adam Sandler's song, "Lunch Ladyland."

Of course, if I got the lunch lady figure, I'd also have to go for the coffee barista action figure.
