CH = ~ savory snacks... by (squidmann!)
I saw it when we ate at UMAI, which advertises 'savory hotdogs'
then, way awesome...getting to see grizzly bears at WSU..
and when I was reading.. big smile
.. and way my memory works..
or doesn't quite work; depending on expectation and actual design
well, I somehow just smile every time I see the words ~savory snacks
and I don't remember the details of his blog post at all, just that something funny...
and so I sent him an email and requested an encore posting
***
yes! it was from one of his Bits & Pieces posts.. which is when he would dedicate 5 or 6 paragraphs to entirely different topics, and included in this one:

I was at the movies today, waiting for my pretzel nuggets to be prepared. I already had my Coke and the cashier called over to me and actually said this sentence: “Sir, are you waiting for a savory snack?”
I couldn’t believe my ears. “Excuse me?” I said, because I wanted to hear it again.
“Are you waiting for a savory snack?” He said it again.
“A savory snack?” I asked in mock disbelief. Who talks like that?
“Yes. A snack that is not sweet.”
Well, I came home and checked the dictionary, and “savory” means exactly what you think it does: having a pleasant taste or smell. It doesn’t mean “not sweet.” But even if it did, or even if that’s what they call non-candy food in the movie theater biz, that pompous little creep still sounded like an asshole.
(Note: Since I wrote this I have discovered that one of the definitions of savory is indeed “not sweet. And so I may have to reevaluate who the asshole actually is.)

"Thank you! Squidmann" pretty funny stuff; audible laughter instantly and again...
