It's just so fucking expensive. It's cheaper for me to go out on Lake Michigan, troll for king salmon all day and land a 15-pounder then it is to buy it at Whole Foods.
I gauge it by the quality of the lox. A good food store has good quality and assortmeent of lox (and all fish for that matter). Whole Foods has a great assortment of wild and farm raised lox. And the pre-cooked foods (which is what I have for dinner almost every night) is much better than anything else available. I'm the sort of person who wants a little bit of everything on the menu. WF is the only place where I can do that right at the deli counter.

Poor lox selection is a deal killer for me. What drives me nuts here in Philly is that there's not a good NY quality Jewish deli in the whole fucking city. The Jews in this town have really let this slide. Deplorable.

I don't care about $ when it comes to good food. You eat bad shit, you'll feel like shit.

I've concluded that the only city with good NY quality Jewish delis is NYC.

WF's meats and fish are phenomenal.

If you haven't seen it yet, the South Park where they tear Paris a new ass is really funny. Problem is, Paris probably thinks its a tribute of some sort. Why my gripe about Paris? It ain't that she's a rich vapid twat... No, my issue is that her face is ugly, and she's fucking up what's considered attractive in this country. I wan't my MTV beach house dancers, models and Hollywood trash to look like Angelina or Andrienne Lima, not some air brushed, pseudo-anorexic chick who looks like she's got a touch of Marphans. Gisele is about as gangly as I go... Paris looks like a fucking Preying Mantis with tits. And will somebody please pull her fucking eyes apart... the fucking Charlie Brown look suits no one. You could put billboards on the sides of her face between her eyes and ears.

Not hot. Three thumbs down.

My MIL brings Philly deli when she comes here. Not lox so much but other smoked fish, and corned beef, to hear her you can only get decent corned beef in Philly and NY. Maybe you're in the wrong places?

Some people like the gangly look.* Those of us who are gangly are thankful.

*But maybe they are just humoring us. Like those men who claim to be turned on by pregnancy.

Gangly is one thing. Arachnid, like Lohan in that pic, is entirely another.

There is a line between gangly and concentration camp victim. You know which side of the line you are on. Lindsay has crossed the rubicon and needs to be fed reubens until she returns.

Is Coventry still in business? They used to be the best deli around, and even had a Market in Elkins Park.

Thinking of Coventry is making me want a kasha knish really bad.

I never took a math course that covered probability. Or, if I did, I was doing something more fun that day.

I was watching Numbers on Tivo the other day and the little professor guy explained a concept in probability using the following example:

Say there are three doors. Behind two doors there is a goat. Behind one door is a new car. What is the probability that you pick the door that has the car? You have a one-in-three chance.

Okay, so you pick the second door. The third door is opened, revealing a goat. Now you have a one in two chance of finding the car.

Here's where it gets tricky. Will your chances of finding the car increase if you change your choice from door two to door one?

I, and all the other dumbass students in his classroom on his show said that it wouldn't. He said we were all mistaken, of course. If you change your choice, apparently you double (or increase, but I think he said "double") the probability that you will find the car.

It doesn't make sense to me because I think the decision to not change doors is as much a choice as deciding to change doors at this point. And I can't get past the fact that no matter which door you choose, when it comes down to two doors, you would have a 50/50 chance of picking the right door.

Someone explain this to me.

This is why epidemiology and statistics should not be given the reverence and evidentiary value they have been in our society. In most studies conducted, there are a thousand variables neglected. People are addicted to the shit because its only science that lets them think they can predict where they'll be and what they'll be doing in 20 years.

I have actually made certain life decisions specifically because they are contrary to what someone told me people in my situation statistically do. Don't know if they were good or not, but I know one thing - I don't want to remain a person in my situation, so doing the opposite is the best positive guidepost I can think of....

And statistics was the only math that I liked.

I didn't say I did the opposite of what I SHOULD do, I said I did the opposite of what people in my position STATISTICALLY do. You assume the masses' decision is preferred. I'm not so sure. I think its more a comfort thing with them.
