The Case of the Missing Tupperware.
Monday, February 11, 2007 @ 10:17 pm
I had another entry from today that I believe warrants just as much attention as this one. Scroll down or click here to access it.

Several months ago, we bought a 20-piece set of tupperware from Costco. Fast forward to present and about 18 of those pieces are MISSING.

There are three possible explanations for this, listed in order of increasing probability:

1) Aliens have abducted our tupperware, mistaking the remains of their contents as the ruling species of this planet. In their estimation, the tupperware beings have evolved into amorphous creatures requiring a plastic container to keep form. Humans are a slave race designed to transport these creatures from one place to another, and to help them achieve a purely nonphysical existence by consuming their bodies whole (or, mostly whole) in a ritual typically observed during one of three times during the day.

2) My mother, in all of her germaphobic glory, has decided that those 18 pieces of tupperware were too far gone to be saved by soap and water alone. Lacking the industrial solvents to truly clean the tupperware--and afraid of what supergerm may evolve from these tainted food containers--she made the executive decision to send them to the rubbish bin rather than wait for her hazardous chemical license application to be approved.

3) Some ungrateful, dumb, possibly bipolar but definitely annoying bitch My cousin is using those tupperware containers to store food in the mini-fridge in her room because she wants nothing to do with my family. When we're out during the day, she emerges from her room like a groundhog, takes a look at her shadow, and if she can see it beyond her own selfish desires, decides that it's time to cook while no one's around. She steals our tupperware to store whatever she cooks so she only has to reheat that food, allowing her to survive without leaving her room, save for the 15 minutes she comes out to take a shower twice daily (thanks a lot for wasting our water, bitch!) and the 2 minutes it takes to nuke some cold leftovers. I admit that 18 tupperware containers probably do not fit in her mini-fridge, but considering the normal state of her room, it's probably the case where half (if not more) of those containers have some sort of smelly, crusty, possibly moldy buildup in them and are lying somewhere on the floor in her room, covered by miscellaneous articles of clothing, magazines, plastic grocery bags, and dust bunnies the size of New York City sewer rats. See possibility #2 for hints as to what this may mean for my mother.

As for what this all means for me: I am having trouble finding a way to transport food with me to work. In the case that I can't do that, I am forced to either starve or spend money on some overpriced cafeteria food. Neither of those options are in any way appealing.

She should just get those plastic containers that come with lunch meat and use those...

haha, we have so much tupperware that I don't even know what's what anymore. my mom used to work for tupperware and did parties so that's why we have so much.

the passwords are 'work' and 'giving in.' I'd read "work tomorrow" first, just to get a little better idea. and in the future, just so you know and in case you don't feel like asking, a majority of my PWP entries, the password is the title or one of the words in the title. =]

Eh...
I downloaded the whole series -_- Yes, I'm a terrible, unappreciative teenager with notorious Internet tendencies. Next on the list: The End of Evangelion...I've seen it once before, and it makes me so sad knowing that the happiness of episode 26 definitely does not last in The End.

I took a peak at the last entry...you're dreams are reallllly structured, mine are always incoherent and I can never remember half of it, only the emotions o_0 And do you play the piano in real life?

The very end of Episode 26, where everyone is standing around Shinji congratulating him, there's a piano version fo the Eva opening theme going...I found it on the internet and am going to play it soon because I'm that nerdy

Actually
I'm going to have to go with theory one...strange things have been disappearing around my house as well, and the most likely culprit is aliens. Where else could my Mars Attacks figurine and demoleculizer ray have gone? These things don't just sprout legs and walk away on their own....
