billy idol and dehydrated flesh for fantasy

recently when traveling on an empty stomach and near empty wallet, imagine my relief when on the side of the road i spied this glorious billboard:

BEEF JERKY OUTLET. EXIT NOW!

how could anyone resist the urge. the sweet delight of frugality rewarded with such delectable and savory treats. i fantasized wildly about stocking up. to hell w nitrites and msg. i salivated thinking how i might mix a case, how i'd be a real spend-more-to-save-more american. teriyaki, bbq, sweet-n-spicy, hot, cracked pepper...so many choices, so little jaw strength.

i passed. renewed vegetarian status has derailed more than a couple food fantasies so far this year. but what fun is life w o the challenge of a little deprivation.
