Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

I don't think it's a static number

Yeah, I think this was based on the Depression, but an average.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't mind sweet and spicy as a premise. Depends where it happens--Indian tamarind balls with black pepper are gross. But I love jalapenos and chocolate, for instance.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

shrift, would you hate me if I asked what you thought of last week's SPN?

I actually haven't seen the two latest episodes yet, and that's why I haven't been in the thread!

There are 20 or 30 completely overdressed hipster teens in the alley behind my building. They seem to be congregating there aimlessly, and have given me dirty looks for standing on my back porch to smoke because I'm, like, some stupid bitch who might call the cops. I'm almost tempted to call the cops because I'm concerned they don't understand that they're completely overdressed and in Uptown. Kids these days.

However, 30 Hipsters in the Alley could make an excellent band name.

I wonder why there's that comparatively better off swatch in the Intermountain West. Farmers?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Unemployment in MA apparently went down last month, but I always wonder if that's because of people leaving the work force, not getting jobs.

I think running out of unemployment benefits can also knock you out of the statistic.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It always makes me sad when TJs stops carrying an item I love. I'm still sad about the vanilla paste, but at least I can get that from Surfas. But TJs had it for so cheap.

My current TJ frustration is the crispy seaweed that they had like ONCE before they stopped carrying it. Grrr.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I weep when TJs stops carrying something I love. But they do respond to feedback on when items are good, bad or totally freaking awesome.
