Hypothetical Movie Trailer (Audio)

For anyone who missed it from last year on my blog or can't access it. As an aside to the undertone (Overtone? Maybe. I don't know.), when I was at a Dubyem on the west side of Boise in 2017, I noticed the utter lack of white males among the 15 to 20 promo photo murals for optical sales. Did any adolescent white boys stand a chance? Doubtful. What did they do to anybody by age 8, presuming they didn't torture pets? As for salt on snails and ants vs the magnifying glass, most have done that.

Near that Dubyem in Boise is or was a Brazilian buffet restaurant called Tocano's. I'd be amazed if they're still in business. They have carvers come to your table, controlling your meat consumption. They start you off with a heavily sauced piece of dark meat chicken. Does it help to turn your wooden tabletop signaling device upside down for your first round of meat? Most likely not. They slop a lot of brisket on your plate, which is also heavily sauced. Also, they don't inquire about quantity. When they come by with the tri tip sirloin, they carve off 2 paper thin slices about the diameter of a quarter and ask you if that's enough (Psy-op). Do they tell you what's about to be served to you, in time to decline it, when it's dark meat chicken or brisket? No. Tri tip? Yep. How does this relate to Dubyem Optical, apart from proximity? Eat enough of that sweet 'n' sour chicken, and you may go blind from the corn syrup due to diabetic retinopathy and / or mercury poisoning.

As for another Boise restaurant expose (Imagine an accent over that last E), the pizza place on Mallard Rd has a calzone that is simply a personal / small pizza, folded in half, at the cost of a medium. Also, adding insult to injury, Idaho charges sales tax on everything, including unprocessed foods at the grocery store. I was in Oregon prior to that, and that State had no sales tax. As much as I'd like to cite an Unholy Troller-based financial conspiracy, due to their alarmingly large presence in both States, I can't.

Who cares about Boise, or Idaho in general? Last decade, a number of Californians were flocking there. Now I'm not sure because of the 40% spike in real estate that occurred during the flimflamdemic. I endured The 30 Year Winter in 2016 / '17, nearly losing my pinky toes to frost bite in the process. Get yourself some Arctic grade boots and cleats if you move there. One of the employees at the grocery store called me "Cleat Guy", but the question is why it was so rare for people to use them. Believe it or not, I walked the 15 mile round trip in the middle of that 30 Year Winter to see a dive meet. That was with my Arctic boots, not that crappy, ill-fitting $40 pair. I spent $150 on those Arctic boots, and they were a bargain. They're probably upwards of $300 today.
