Leninade

Today Offspring #2 took me out for an adventure.  We both got hair cuts before stopping at the library.  Since my goal is now to walk 23 minutes 5 times a day I was so happy to be walking around the library instead of my house.  In my house the only excitement is whether to go clockwise or counterclockwise around my living room/dining room/kitchen.  But at the library I can stroll past the children's area, the reference section, fiction, mystery, non fiction, DVD's and audio books.  I needed to buy a light bulb so we headed to the hardware store.  We both like hardware stores so we basically walked every aisle where I bought stuff I really needed including this bottle of soda called Leninade. I didn't buy it for the taste.  I bought it for the hilarious labeling which included these words:  Get really hammered and sickled! Our 5 year plan-drink a bottle a day for five years and become a hero of socialist flavor. Surprisingly satisfying Simple Soviet Style Soda. Beware the repressed Communist party animal who is really a proletariat in denial masquerading as a bourgeois cold war monger. Crimea and punishment. Drink comrade drink - it's this or the gulag. Misha - chill down this bottle and chill out. A party in every bottle. Join the party. A taste worth standing in line for.
