Skins

Eating and conversating with friends and family is amongst my favorite things to do. I believe I may have mentioned this before.

In 2004 I was in an ensemble with Brandon and Robby. We went to lunch together afterwards. We added a fourth, Candi.

One day, the lot of us went to lunch at the BBQ place at the University Center. Candi mentioned that she really wanted a baked potato. Both she and Robby ordered one. We ate a decent meal and had an excellent time hanging out together. At one point, Candi said something along the lines of she hadn't thought she could finish the whole thing. Robby pointed out that she still didn't.

"If you don't eat the skin, it doesn't count."

It was a contest, you see. Candi didn't know that in the baked potato eating contest that the skins are part of the potato and she therefore lost. She argued, futilely, and thought that it was a stupid rule.

Hey, it's not like we invented it.
