before i begin, let me honestly say thank you for the overwhelming and enthusiastic response. it scares the hell out of me. you all need therapy. really, thanks. -a

Stage 1 - still completely wet. runny even.
Who decides what flavors of Pringles they'll sell to americans and what they'll sell to europeans? i'd really like to sit in on this board meeting. "no really frank, americans would never eat paprika flavored chips. it just makes people think of deviled eggs too much." personally, i'm going to have to side with frank on this one. they're good. you think of eggs, but then you're pleasantly surprised at the complete lack of egg flavor, and you have to rethink your whole paprika philosophy. and you might just realize that you had been unfair to paprika, and maybe next time, you'll cut it some slack.
Stage 2 - the left side where it's thinner has sort of skinned over, the rest is still kinda drippy
Do you ever hold your stomach in when you're alone? what's that about? just practice for holding it the rest of the time. wouldn't want to catch yourself slipping. really starts to wear on those muscles. i can't wait until i'm married and i can just let it all go to hell.
Stage 3 - a good skin on the whole thing, but you can sense the fluidity underneath. it just feels (italics) gooey. it's not a look, it's a feeling (italics, emphasis on the eee).
characters. i need characters. any interested parties should apply directly to my subconscious. successful applicants will be realistic yet quirky, with some darker, underlying psychosis. please try to be original, no oedipal complexes.
Stage 4 - it's really almost there. arguments could be raised, but really it's largely academic. i'll allow a bit tacky.
it seems excessive and a bit silly to return to pringles, but they're just so fascinating a study. the "official salted snack of Euro2000". what a distinct honor that must be. it was only recently that they broke out the hotly contested salted snack category from the larger "official snack" race, and i must say that pringles deserves every minute of this great honor. the "official snack" competition had just become a beauty contest anyway. everyone knew it was rigged when dinah shore won three years in a row.
there. i think it's completely dry.
