Gas Station @ Allen and DelewareCategory: food
What is with this sick pizza? I can't believe its still out like someone is going to buy it?
I also can't believe that spam is $4.59 for a can. You could buy fancy wild caught tuna or a pound of beef for that price.

I meant to say.... therefore the markup isnt too crazy, I just severly underestimated the cost of spam.

Looking around it seems a can of spam is generally around $3.50. Even if you buy them in bulk on amazon they are still around $2.50 a can :::link::: 6 cans for $27.50.

You pay for the convenience of buying the spam there. As to the pizza, think user error. The underpaid store employee probably cut the pizza slice unevenly. FWIW, Allentown Trading is owned by the BAP group in which the P stands for Paladino (Yes, that Paladino).

Seneca Niagara CasinoCategory: gambling
It was all downhill tonight. After I lost all my money I decided to look into how the slots are programmed. I thought it might be cool to be a programmer for the machines. I mean some of them are pretty awesome nowadays.
Then I read this report about electronic slots cheating and read that the programmer turned star witness got "shot in the back of his head in his mobile home." I couldn't decide what was more a shocking, that they killed him or that the guy who programmed the chips that raked in millions by cheating lived in a fucking trailer home. How unfair is that?

I didn't read the article but maybe if you write code that way you are kinda an off the grid type of person.... Now if it was written so he got the money some how I can see that... Can't have a huge Mansion Yeah I wrote this one code for this slot machine .... That being said it is still said either way... I bet he didn't get a share of it and that would be to bad... Not to mention the getting killed over it...

Strange FruitCategory: food
Last week I was craving a persimmon so bad. I had to wait a whole week for it to be sweet enough for eating. Its weird, yoi got to wait until they are pretty much smush for them to be ripe.
I paired it with clams. What doesn't go with clams?

Hachiya and they seriously need to be smoosh. They totally change into something delicious once you think they would be ready for the garbage. Honestly, I think a lot of fruit is like that. I went to this exhibit at the met where they had a wax fruit display from 100 years ago and all the fruit looked almost like rotten fruit but it was displayed as thought it was a delicious spread. At first I thought it was ironic but then I realized its such a modern expectation that fruit looks perfect. Pears are the same way. I would rather have a soft smooshy sweet pear that a mouth drying, bitter, perfect looking one.

I have only ever had persimmons a few times. I just remember them being so tannic. I guess that I was eating them wrong because yours look like a really ripe cheese. Did you have fuyu or hachiya?

haha. that seems like the type of situation that is typical of my life. i had to to the lock out of the front door of my house once to have a new key made and its hard work with only two hands. i was pretty proud that i was able to reassemble it by myself.
