Fribble

"Oh, my Fribble! One of my favorite things to get at Friendly's. Yes, you can put it right there, Denise. Thank-- whoa! Hey, careful, you're going to spill that! Just because it's thick and delicious does not mean it can't slosh around."

This post is in honor of Friendly's, my favorite restaurant, which is going bankrupt. Guess it wasn't enough other people's favorite restaurant. If I lived in a city with a Friendly's I might have kept them in business all by myself, but alas, I have not lived in a city with a Friendly's since 1989.

Glass of Milk

"Hi, my name's Jim. Mind if I have a sip of that-- Whoa! Hey, you're going to spill that."

On Track (Victoire) Cereal

"Mmm, I love this cereal! Hey, whoa, don't put that honey thing right on the table like that. Don't you have a little dish or something? I'm going to have to clean that up later. Also, tomorrow I'd rather not have raw wheat on the table. I know, it's to show the wheat in the cereal, but still, it's messy. Hey, careful with that milk; you're going to spill that! Oh, man, what a mess."

Wine

"Sure, I'd love a glass of-- whoa! Don't pour that so fast! I know the wine glass is invisible, but shouldn't that be even more reason to pour carefully? You're going to spill that."

Thanks to Rita Moffitt

Absinthe

"I don't really need a whole glass of ab-- whoa! Slow down, cowboy! You're spilling it all over the ah, the ah.. the ice on the table."

Coke

"Oh my God! What the hell happened! No, you clean it up. How the--?"

Milk in Cereal (with Raspberries)

"Come on, Dad! You don't have to hold the milk three feet above the bowl when you pour it-- aw, man, it's getting all over everything. Have you stopped taking your meds?"

Thanks to Daniel Saunders for the mailed-in spill. Mail yours to jim@jimdavies.org with "spillthat" in the subject line.

Martini

"Hey! Don't move that glass so fast! That martini was expensive!"

Coca-Cola and Iced Premium Roast Coffee

"Ah! Hey, watch it! Don't put that coke down so hard.  And that other drink-- I'm going to smell like coffee all day!"
