Anti-terrorism Pomegranetes
So the commercial for what is coming up next on the news is "HOW POMEGRANATES ARE BEING USED TO FIGHT TERRORISM!"-- i have to see how the heck that is!!! i'll update when i fin dout
mike - 08/18/10 17:55
i just realized i never update this. They are used to fight terrorism because they are growing them in Afghanistan and they make a lot of money for farmers so they don't grow drugs so they don't funnel the drug money to the Taliban. I'm not really sure why they don't end up funneling the pomegranite money but next time I buy POM (which i have actually never bought ) i will think, "this just tastes just a little bit terroristy"

Wormy Plum ew ew ew
So i have kept wanting to post but then not feeling like it by the time i got to the computer but this juts has to be posted. I WENT TO EAT A DELICIOUS PLUM yesterday and it was weird because I swear soon as i picked it up i just had a feeling of dread about it but i started to eat it anyway.......and as i am pleasantly chomping my way through i look down and there is like a hole near the pit and curled all up in there is a little white worm like creature! EWWWWW! I don't think i ate any of it because it was just little and in there, but maybe there were more and i ate them. End of that story is i am not just eating into fruit anymore i am thoroughly cutting and inspecting it alL!!!
paul - 02/19/09 17:14
Once I ate one of those oversized grapes and it had a grub like giant white plump bug inside. I bit the grape and the bug in half. When I realized, it was too late as I had already swallowed. Now I more carefully inspect grapes.
tinypliny - 02/18/09 23:33
Haha... ever heard this story -> :::link:::

It tells the story of a mythical king of India who was killed by a worm - that was actually the king of snakes in disguise. :)
mk - 02/18/09 19:52
EWWWWWWWW
james - 02/17/09 23:27
compared to other worms, I bet those are pretty delicious.

OWning my own store
I was really thinking today how much I would like to own my own store. I would love it. I am not sure what kind of store, prolly knick knacks cuz that is what i know and love. Maybe a bar/knick knack store. Me and rachelle at work have talked about opening a bar called Drinks and Trinks where you get like trinkets with your purhcases, like you can buy a value meal of like a vodka cranberry and two shots and you get a free toy like a happy meal. I tihnk it could really work well, haha. Well i do really want to own a store though but the whole idea seems so daunting!
mk - 02/05/09 21:59
Do we still have our old "blueprints" from sophomore year??
metalpeter - 02/05/09 17:38
Just be careful and learn you blue laws and Liquar the reason I say this is I think if you sell it you can't sell much else. The law might change though because Paterson wants stores to be able to sell wine. I think if that law changed then you might have to do something to change the law so that Liquer stores could compete with them. I guess their highest profit margin is on wine. I do have an idea for something you could sell. Some drink has a worm at the bottom of it, what about drinks with gummy worms in them or an alcohol store and a Candy store?
iriesara - 02/05/09 16:08
you could put all those cash registers to use!
matthew - 02/05/09 13:47
What if you put trinks at the bottom of the drinks!?! Oh wait, that would be a major choking hazard. Scratch that idea.
hodown - 02/05/09 10:21
can I work at your store?
trisha - 02/05/09 09:18
haha, that is a great idea! would you bartend?
james - 02/05/09 00:02
a very nice variation on the 'if you buy enough drinks you might get to sleep with the bartender' theme.
