morning bun

among the choices from the local starbucks goodie bin is bill's favorite - morning bun. whether or not it is delicious is beside the point. it's just really freaking funny to hear someone say "i'd like the morning bun, please".  it's probably funnier if you watched a lot of beavis & butthead. or if you happen to be fairly immature and in your 40s.


you see, bill lives for the morning bun. the pastry, that is, and not the "hurry before the kids wake up" version. well, maybe they are equal favorites but i digress. one day, we walk in and stand in line to order and bill immediately eyes the one solitary, delectable morning bun sitting tauntingly in the case, crusted with cinnamon and sugar. there is one guy in line in front of us and he is the only thing standing between bill and 300 calories of sweet gooey bliss.


the guy in front of us orders. "i'll have the morning bun, please."


bill's screams were incredible. the startled barista dropped a freshly made venti half-caff, non-fat, extra syrup, part foam, part whip, extra hot, choccalakkamochalatteyaya on her shoes, and several patrons ducked under tables.


"NOOOO!! NOOOO!!!" he kept screaming over and over, and it took several of us to restrain him as the guy in line enjoyed his precious morning bun in agonizing slow motion right in front of bill.


morning bun. it may be an activity; or it could be a delight with coffee. just don't get in bill's way when he's got his mind set on one.
