Potato Dream
I woke up this morning in one of the best moods I've awakened to in some time.
If nothing else, it confirms that I'm a fat guy and I'm going to be so for a very long time.
Right before I woke up this morning, I was having a dream, a great dream. I dreamt I was back at IMSA and with very few exceptions, it was an IMSA unaltered in any substantive way. I was with Gunder and we were walking through the Old Cafeteria where one of my Minuteman coworkers was counseling one of his math students on their latest problem set.
OK, so that's the only realy difference, this guy really didn't belong there.
Anyway, I'm walking through the doors into the cafeteria when I run into Millicent and Jing.
Mill: Oh no, not another one of those tshirts.
Nenie: Huh? What shirts?
Mill: You know, for that stupid school spirit thing they're doing.
Nenie: Huh?
Mill: You know the "IMSA, it doesn't suck" campaign.
I was consumed by putting my salad together at the salad bar until then so I looked up to see Jenni T standing there busting out of a white tshirt that said "IT DOESN'T SUCK" in big black letters.
Amused by the sight and confused as to why I wasn't involved in such a campaign I looked down at the salad bar. In my hands was a small paper boat, the kind that you get nachos in at the movie theater. I looked across the salad bar, trying to decide what I wanted to eat when I saw them. Tucked away behind the tomatoes and in front of the green peppers, potato chips. Yup, there were potato chips in the salad bar.
I started to pile potato chips into my boat, but the boat wouldn't fill, so I started to add tortilla chips from the big bowl in the middle of the bar. Then, I saw two more little salad bar buckets containing ranch dressing and cheddar cheese. People, you have no idea how pleased I was with my self as I constucted a bottomless potato and tortilla chip salad covered in cheddar cheese and ranch dressing.
As I woke up, all I could think about was whether or not it'd be a good idea to put this salad in the microwave. Yes, it'd melt the cheese, but it might also really mess up the ranch dressing.

Ha!
Oh God. That's awesome.
I believe the best way would've been to have the cheese heated and the ranch cold. Whether or not you heat the chips depends on how much you like That Texture.
;P
Dude, but, I can't decide if cold dressing on warm cheese and chips is gonna work or not.
I can't believe I'm discussing this.
I was thinking chips in the middle with melted cheese on one side and cold ranch on the other. Although this theory does remind me of the McDLT... Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to mix them as long as the hot side was hot and the cool side cool until they were assembled right before eating.
funny thing about your idea willy, is that before you said McDLT, I was thinking it, just by the way you described your concept
that said, i dunno, part of what made this "salad" seem so genius in my dream (and in the moments that followed) is the integration of cheese and dressing throughout the chips.
relegating the dressing and the cheese to the role of "dipping sauces" rather than actual salad dressings kinda cheapens the whole endeavor
Hahaha, until you brought up Jen I just figured it was your shirt that Millicent was talking about... :)
There are so many things I could say about this line...
"so I looked up to see Jenni T standing there busting out of a white tshirt that said 'IT DOESN'T SUCK' in big black letters."
It's some funny shit.
See, you're one of the few people who can fully grasp how funny this all is.
