Chats with Steve: Kraft Awesome Straws

This is Chats with Steve, in which I copy and paste inane conversations I've had on Gmail chat with my buddy Steve.

me: I'm gonna visit my parents this weekend.

steve: sounds like a blast, dude

me: so blast
12:38 PM what's your blast today?
12:39 PM that's like the slogan for a commercial with kids riding skateboards with helmets and it's like a hi-c juicebox or something

steve: Kraft Awesome Straws -- What's Your Blast?

me: they are just things filled with cheese spread you suck out of individual straws

steve: yeah, they come in flavors like Mondo Cheddar

me: for a limited time: Extreme Brie

steve: Monterrey Jacked Up

me: Shutup! Swiss

steve: hahaha what's your blast

 steve: they'd have pop culture icons-themed products

 me: like No Doubt Nacho
12:50 PM: with gwen stefani on the straw

steve: yeah, and no doubt tours in support of the product, just replacing the lyrics of their old songs.
12:52 PM but none of it makes any sense. "i'm walking in an awesome straw. so leave a message and i'll call you back."

me: "This straw is so cheesy/C-H-E-E-S-Y!" 

I know that's solo Gwen, btw. I'm no fool.

steve: What's your blast?

me: we should do a radio commercial for these

steve: definitely

 me: Awesome Straws. What's YOUR Blast?

 steve: Bow Dunna Dunna Dun -- Awesome Straws. Wave of the Future. Suck Cheese in your Face!

Live-Tweeting the First Snowfall of the Season

Last month I live-tweeted the first snowfall of the year on Knee-Jerk Magazine's Twitter as if it were something that, you know, someone would actually live-tweet.

And no one cared. But I still think it was funny. So I'm archiving it here. Enjoy! Or, I guess, don't.
