Yesterday i went to land's dad's house to help him move some boxes and stuff. we got chinese food for lunch, from panda express. land and i used to meet up at the panda express at the disney studio lot commissary. according to land, this particular panda express location is better and tastier than every other panda express. even though the others are tasty. either way, when we get back to his dad's house, after we finish eating, we realize that there is only one fortune cookie left. neither of us really likes to eat the fortune cookie that much, but we both do enjoy the ancient black art of the fortune-reading. briefly discussed, the idea of throwing out the cookie or destroying it was rejected. i still hold that it would have been the best solution. then we started talking about who should get to claim the fortune as being theirs, and having it apply to themselves. then i said we could each start out with a 50% stake in claiming the fortune, and if one of us really wanted the fortune, he could purchase shares from the other in order to claim the full force of the fortune. finally we just decided that we should just open the cookie and read the fortune. i am assuming we would have just called dibs if it was a good fortune. being the inside man, being the person actually _holding_ the cookie, i knew that this contest was mine. so i opened the fortune cookie, and pulled out the following message:
An important discussion will take place today.
