Indi-dairy Bones and the Temple of Yo

Oh!  What is more magnificent than the fall season?  The leaves changing color. The.…We interrupt this blog about fabulous fall foliage to bring you another episode of ….. Indi-dairy Bones and Lego Kid……..

We last left our explorers making a heart-pounding escape from Coffee Chasm and continuing their  trek towards the Dairy Deluge.  With his faithful 41” tall exploring companion, Lego Kid, riding in the creaky-wheeled shopping cart (which by the way needs a major front end alignment), Indi pushed down the brim of his construction paper fedora and made his move onto the shopper laden aisle  ahead.  Weaving!  Dodging! Hanging tight turns on two wheels! Oh, the treacherous journey of getting through the quagmire of cart traffic!  Lego Kid enjoyed the ride as he was hanging 10 inside the plastic box accompanied by a quick tune of “Surfing Safari” hummed by yours truly (oops.  I mean Indi).

After furiously fleeing through the frozen tundra of  Freezer land, there in the distance beneath a flickering neon light, was the treasure they had been seeking.  The pro-biotic treasure they first learned about from the ragged edge flyer they had received in the mail the week before. The flyer with cryptic discounted language and free turkey announcements. The flyer that took two weeks to decipher (allowing one week of being misplaced and another week of finding the ancient coupon code book). 

Armed with the flyer, their “bring me back and don’t use plastic bags” shopping satchel, and a Cool Whip, (Come on.  You know I had to work a whip in here somewhere and it would have been too obvious if I applied the ‘whip’ directly to the yogurt commentary) our heroes had arrived to the Temple of Yogurt.  Talk about the “Paradox of Choice” (which, by the way, is a good read written by Barry Schwartz)!   Carefully constructed containers of yogurt from every culture, country and flavor where stacked from floor to ceiling in their refrigerated recluse.  I’m not pudding this mildly.  Indi-dairy held up the flyer and said to Lego Kid, “Yo. Play. Help me match the picture on the flyer with the yogurt treasure we are seeking!”   Lego Kid scoured the stack and pointed right smack dab in the middle of the pile.  “There”, he said.   “Nice job, kid.”

Now, for the moment of truth. Indi took a deep breath and gathered his wits. “Time to get my Dan on!” he muttered.  Mustering up all his courage, Indi reached into the pile and gingerly plucked the blueberry treasure.  He stood back and smirked that victorious smirk that only he can smirk.

As Indi turned around to give a high five to Lego Kid, he saw Lego Kid reaching beyond the barrier of the plastic box and grabbing a Batman Ball from its cage causing an avalanche of plastic balls (make up your own joke here).

“Chiobani!”, Indi shouted as he threw the treasure into the satchel, picked up Lego Kid, and fled across the stony field to Checkout Island.
