Howcumizzit, that when I go buy a buncha veggies it costs me 20 kuai, when a zhongguoren it costs then 10 kuai? I tried this experiment, maybe 3 years into living in China. I bought a basic bunch of stuff, maybe it was 2 tomatoes, a cucumber, maybe an onion. I showed this melange to a girl friend. A girl friend, not a girlfriend. She went and bought the same stuff. She paid 10 kuai, I paid 20 kuai. Can someone explain this?

I was a vegetarian, (actually I ate clams as well) for at least 15 years, based on the idea that killing an animal for consumption was cruel. I was healthy as a horse, and thin as a rake. Very cheap living. 10 kilos of lentils, kilos of every root crop going, potatatos, carrots, beets, onions garlic, and etc tomatoes by the fistful. i haven't yet met a vegetable or a fruit i don't like to eat.

I could never figger it out. My ol' bachelor Uncle Ed. Ate spareribs and kielbasa like a pack of taiga timberwolves. But, regular as the rain in Spain, every month when he got his pension check, he'd be off to Bay City "to get my salad tossed." Why'd a man what lived for meat need to TRAVEL all day just for leafy comestibles? Then come the day li'l Gio stumbled onter www.urbandictionary.com and had his "OHHHHHHHH!" moment.

I want a bowl of chopped tomato, onion, cucumber and green pepper . mix this stuff , add some spices, maybe salt . add feta chesse, which I believe has an existance in China. Now in the great land of China is there no feta Cheese? Are there no black olives? aiya.

OMG. What a lie!

And stop deceiving people that a drink and tapas will only cost 15 RMB. Even though it sounds too good to be true, at least explain it clearer, if not it doesn't sound like there's any Tuesday special in your restaurant.

I'm trying to post a picture of your flyer that says that right here but for some reason it wouldn't let me post it.

quote.. `somethin about cold cars' ... now the only `cold cars' i have knowledge of is me dad's F150 at 5 am. February. Now `hot cars' I got to know about from Jovica, and we usually exchanged them at 3 am, out in a cornfield in Wainfleet.

#1. I am funny (maybe) because it amuses me, not for pay. That way lies the long descent into turning children's party clown.

#2. You have to agree with me, at least in broad outline. I'm either right or I'm dead. But the days of discussion is past. "Reasonable compromise" is the tip of the camel's unlubed you-know-what.

Well might have to think about that. Being funny for money is the hallmark of advanced civililization. All civilizations actually. And the height of culture. Courst jesters i.e. It needn't be any kind of descent. Haven't you checks the brakes on yer shoes lately?

Secondly, no I have to disagree with you perpetually. That is the whole schtick. If you don't like the word schtick, then replace with premise. Except I think we should argue absolutely apposing viewpoints and switch them up daily, or at least weekly. Lets get this cognizant dissonance rolling ba!

All my philtres go into phials, you phile little man.

the whole world knows that Candanastan started out as a penal colony for Great Britain's underclassed grammar-thugs. Types for whom unnatural spelling acts were a morbid delight.

That got some real guffaws. But I think you was thinking bout Australiastan. That's were we noble Brits sent our losers, loafers and idle rich mommas boy remittance men.
