True. I\'d like to mow down a line of laggers in the knowledge that, 10 secs later, everything would be back to normal. It\'s one of those magic things that you\'d like to see the effect of but know it\'s wrong to do...so if there was a button on the gun that allowed you to reset to the original moment before death, that would be cool. I blame Hollywood and my PS2 for these thoughts. You could also shoot the trunks off of those miniature trees

I can just see it now...
Finn driving around as an old man in his modified tractor mounted with a flame thrower, get to the store and a compartment opens up and ejects him on an identical but smaller tractor to drive around in the store. I love it.
Here\'s one- don\'t eat stinkin\' veggies. I have a friend that considers chips a veggie and its about the only one he\'ll eat. I\'m going to his wedding this summer, so can\'t wait to see how he will have it set for grublol

one of my work collegues had his 50th in a local golf club (they don\'t even have a golf course so doesn\'t that make it a pub?) and he loves chips. at 9pm, he had £30 worth of chips delivered from the local chippy. the buffet didn\'t last long but the chips went first
Suggestions:
1. Coose only the most expensive items of any particular type.
2. Do not buy any itmes that can easily be combined to create a tasty na d nutricious meal.
3. Neglect to purchase any items that are absolutely required.
By following these simple guidelines one never risks being expected to shop again. One (mother, spouse, sister, girlfriend etc.) will automatically assume the shooping function, relieving one from the tedium of shopping wiht followup cooking duties. One\'s time and ultimately one\'s money will be saved.
Having not previously followed these rules at home, I am now simply known as default_setting.....

This just reminds me. A friend took me to an US supermarket where they also had a self service checkout counter where you had to scan your stuff yourself and paid at a machine. There was a only a guy there to keep an eye on things and do random checks at the different machines. Is that common in the US? I don\'t remember to have seen it somewhere else (it was in the town where Penn state university is).

I used the self checkout the other day. It seemed WIDE OPEN to theft. It surprised me to see something so not-well-thought-out.
Walmart and Home depot have those self checkout things by me. I worked at HD when they were installed, and the system is pretty theft-proof. You have to move each item you scan from one side of the scanner to the counter on the other side. There are scales built into the counters, and the weights must match after scanning, and the system knows how much each SKU weighs, so no price-switching either (one of my old favourites). Walmart however, is not so sophisticated, and I know someone who gets over on them all the time.
I like Broccoli and mushrooms, stalk and all. I just tend to get a little.. ah... \"musical\" from them
Best trick for a free lunch. The deli dept in the supermarkets around here always show you a slice of coldcuts before cutting the rest, and after you approve of the thickness they offer you a slice. Order about 15 different meats and cheeses, each time eating the free slice. Then just discreetly dump the ordered items on a shelf. You have the right to change your mind; instant FREE lunch!
For you guys doing all this cutting and peeling in the aisles, why not just eat all the stuff while your there? Put some meat on a couple slices of bread and your done. It\'ll save you money AND save you the hassle of having to cart the $hit home.lol

Finn, they\'re next to the brawn and tongue on the meat counter. Or were they real udders? My father was forced to eat udder once...said it was a terrible experience, a texture the like of which he never felt in his mouth again (to eat that is)

remind me of joke:
tourist is in spain eating in a restaurant and he sees this guy tucking into what looks like a big meatball. he ask the waiter what it is. the waiter explains that it\'s the bulls testicles from the bullfight and that they are a local delicacy (?sp). he wants to try so asks for one. the waiter apologises and says that there are only two after the bullfight every week and if he wants to, he can come back and he\'ll reserve him one from the next fight. he agrees. when he comes back the next week, he tries it and loves it but his is a lot smaller than the one he saw. he asks the waiter about this. the waiter replies \'senor, sometimes the bull wins!\'
hehehe
oh and also, beware, sometimes sheeps testicles are sold in restaurants masquerading as \'moubtain oysters\'
