A small trip to the grocery...

[Paulie]

Turned out to be just that. A small trip.

I bought some twinkies and shit, opened up a 20oz soda that I got out of the cooler because I was thirsty, paid for my items, minded my own fucking business and didn't give a fuck about what anyone else was doing, and went home.

I thought some people might care though, so I started a thread about it.

Damn you, Paulie! You opened the soda in the store..

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I have no doubt that twinkies, shit and soda make up your diet.
Thanks for telling us about it.

Oh sure you believe him.

 

[Paulie]

It's cool though, they gave me a little orange sticker to put on it that proves I paid for it.

I also always refer to it specifically as the "grocery".

Now you have to post it on Facebook...

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I am also not surprised you are entertained by shiny stickers.

Perhaps you should lie down before you hurt yourself.

But I already just told everybody on there about the bagel I just ate, they're still processing that. I don't want to overload them.

I'll mention it tomorrow after I update everybody about how my trip to the dentist went.

It's actually pretty dull, and just says PAID in black over bright orange.

I held it up toward the light at several different angles and couldn't get it to reflect a single light beam.

 

[Paulie]

I actually forgot to mention that I used a credit card for my purchase.

Can you guys fucking believe that I actually charged friviolous groceries to my credit card?

I'm glad no one saw me, I'd hate to think they might view me as aiding the credit crisis.

 

[Si modo]

Yeah, I went to the grocery store this morning, too. And I found myself not giving a shit what others were buying or how they were buying it. I don't need to create drama in my life. Others obviously have so little going on that they need to create something.

Oh, I bought some hazelnut flavored creamer, some milk, some sugar, and some *gasp* soda. I paid cash.

Now all my dirty details are out there.

You didn't buy any ammo, or hard liquor or porn? At all?

Not that there is anything wrong with that.....

Who buys porn anymore?

Which is all well and good, because you paid for it with your money. You didn't buy it with someone else's money.

Personally, I think twinkies are for twinkies. YMMV. I prefer Cliff Bars.

I'm not exactly the biggest proponent of the food stamp program, but you do realize that a great many people who receive them have also paid their fair share of taxes as well, and as such, the money they receive in food stamp funds can be considered THEIR money as well?

I don't agree with MOST of what my tax dollars go to these days. If I can get some of that back in the form of food money to feed my family, I wouldn't feel all that fucking bad about it.

The problem in a nutshell is the food stamp program itself. It allows you to buy value added, nutrition reduced processed food with stamps and is there fore cataclysmically inefficient.

It would be far cheaper and far more effective to just distribute actual food, like rice, beans, flour etc. Even cheese, bacon and steak would give a bigger bang for the buck.

The government already subsidizes agriculture. Just restructure the subsidy so the government gets agricultural goods at real commodity prices and then distributes it on an industrial scale.

Rather than pay farmers not to grow crops and all.

But Americans never do things sensibly.
