Rate Your Music score: 3.49 out of 5!
You'd think a top 10 hit wouldn't be lost, but we live in a strange world.
This song had a "Take It Away" moment of sorts. This took place one day just before I started a new semester of college or had a schedule change when I worked at the public library. I was getting ready for my new daily schedule, and my mom asked, "What about your lunch?"
The predictable happened. I burst into an adaptation of this now-lost TLC hit: "What about your lunch..."
My mom must have thought I would have to rush all the way home at noon each day to eat lunch, or that lunch had to be precisely at noon. But NKU actually had 2 cafeterias in the University Center building, and the public library had an employee lounge plus a gas station convenience store right next door.
Admittedly, I didn't always like using these venues, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Our lounge at the library always had spilled food and other trash laying around. And I kept getting in fights in the food courts at NKU - especially in the Helmethead era. For those who don't remember, Helmethead was a young man who always hung around in the cafeteria on the lower floor. I hesitate to say he was a student, because I never saw him going to or from a class. I only ever remember seeing him in the cafeteria. He was never eating or working on schoolwork. This lazy loafer was always just gambling with his friends. But I must have known him from before, because he started a fight with me every time I saw him. After he hounded me out of that food court for good, I started using the other one, and I got chased out of it too.
The lower food court is also where I got the slice of pizza that was spoiled, which caused me to discard it in the outgoing mail slot at the post office. I wonder who got that pizza in the mail. I think that court was also the source of the taco sauce that got smeared on the record player.
Five years ago, NKU whined to holy high hell about students "clustering", yet they wouldn't do a damn thing about Helmethead. What a complete, unmitigated, unchecked disaster.
