I see. They could speed them up if they just replaced the cashiers with vacuum cleaners. "Please hold up your wallet here"

I sense that you dislike the Whole Foods. For me, it is a money saver, because it is always the alternative to eating out somewhere. Perhaps your options differ from mine though. You have a designated person in your household who enjoys the cooking and the cleaning up processes?

The Apprentice LA
 

Yeh, but once you eat their stuff, you can't buy your shit at ACME anymore.

The Apprentice LA
 

You found the elusive internet umlaut!! yay for you!!

Yes, Über-smug divorcee suits me to a tee these days.

The Apprentice LA
 

A reliable source tells me that Trader Joes is the new Whole Foods for the in crowd and that only losers and poseurs shop at Whole Foods.

The Apprentice LA
 

I shop at both, for different things. TJ does produce in weird ways.

The Apprentice LA
 

Nah. Trader Joes is where you shop for stuff for a party.

Too much frozen stuff. I don't do the frozen seafood thing.

The Apprentice LA
 

Same "reliable source" about the non-existent activities under your nose? I'm skeptical of you and your sources.

The Apprentice LA
 

Balty and you aren't a couple?

The Apprentice LA
 

I dislike the prices at whole foods, particularly relative to the overall quality. They offer value on some things (their affineur around here is terrific).* But a lot of their stuff is overpriced/same quality as the safeway down the street.

Yes. I like to cook. No one likes to clean, but with my new dishwasher, about all I have to remove from the plate is the t-bone.


*Smug five-cheese eater, I am.

The Apprentice LA
 

So true. The SO lost her shit in some kind of grocery shopping nirvana last night, and must've spent an hour or two emptying the contents of the entire Trader Joe's in Redondo.

I'm gonna be eating frozen chimichangas for the rest of my days. (And finishing it off with 8 kinds of chocolate, so I suppose it's not ALL bad.)

The Apprentice LA
 

Trader Joe's is a mile away (aka "driving distance" for grocery stores). Whole Foods is a block away (aka "walking distance").

Plus the uber-smug divorcee crowd looks down upon those who use the word "poseur".

The Apprentice LA
 

Yeah, but we're on the other side of the ears. Totally different area of coupledom.

BTW, and totally unrelated, unless he needs the URL for the same reason that I needed the URL, Mini Motoring Gear is a great place for Christmas presents for Mini Cooper drivers and devotees.

The Apprentice LA
 

Bosch?

Next Board Title?
 

We've just started this one, but I nominate this for the next board/thread title.

The Apprentice LA
 

You are behind his back? I would think you would be under his nose.

The Apprentice LA
 

I would have thought so too, but the retracted couple(s?) apparently had that space. Who knew the areas around Flinty were so heavily occupied?

The Apprentice LA
 

The bay area is densely populated.

Kenmore.

Bosch and Miele can suck it. Same problem as whole foods.*

Same for Viking and Sub-Zero, fwiw.

The Apprentice LA
 

My reliable sources state that Gatti and Club are "just friends". I can't help it if people want to confess their deepest, darkest secrets to me. I think they just feel more secure telling me because no one actually believes a word I say. Plausible deniability. Keep those pictures coming, kids.

lusty divorcees
 

I have never experienced a dishwasher as quiet as a Bosch. You can't even tell there is a dishwasher on, and I am not exaggerating.

I have a total POS dishwasher.

The Apprentice LA
 

Can you get edible sushi at Safeway? Can you get the pre-made pesto shrimp, rare London Broil, Naked juices, calamari salad, high grade lox, tasty flavored peanut butter, handmade sorbets, top shelf frozen yogurts/ice cream, sushi grade tuna, sauteed broccoli rabe and that really good shaved romano cheese at your Safeway?

If so, I'm moving to your town.

Can you recommend a packaged national brand bacon?

What does this say?

Market your clients, kids.
 

No, but all that (and more!) is available here:

And, my dear sebby, the MILFs who shop here all look like Rene Russo in "The Thomas Crown Affair." Rowr!

edited by Not Bob's Id to add: Insert an "edible sushi" joke, and you've got a winner!

"Tru Warier", crazyman's record label.

Market your clients, kids.
 

You go ordering Lox in most towns with a Pig's and you're likely to get lynched.

I think, I'm not sure, but I think it says "tru warier". What it means, I hesitate to venture an opinion.

Uh, I guess I could have waited two seconds. I'm still unclear on what "Tru Warier" means. "Validly more cautious"?

Market your clients, kids.

No bacon, but the salami is tasty.

No.

It's the brand name of his record label. It's an ironic twist designed to tweak the concept of an "athletic scholarship".

Man Pleads Guilty in Horse-Sex Case

SEATTLE


A man has pleaded guilty to trespassing in connection with a fatal horse-sex case.

James Michael Tait, 54, of Enumclaw, was accused of entering a barn without the owner's permission. Tait admitted to officers that he entered a neighboring barn last July with friend Kenneth Pinyan to have sex with a horse, charging papers said. Tait was videotaping the episode when Pinyan suffered internal injuries that led to his death.

Tait pleaded guilty Tuesday and was given a one-year suspended sentence, a $300 fine, and ordered to perform eight hours of community service and have no contact with the neighbors.

The prosecutor's office said no animal cruelty charges were filed because there was no evidence of injury to the horses.

I hate to blame the victim, but I don't know that I'd be able to look at my horse the same way ever again. And I wonder what the community service will be. Mucking stables for the police horses?

What is a warier? Does he mean True Warrior? This is incredible to me.

If I want take out, I get it. As for sushi, they bring it in from the sushi place down the street that's one of the top restaurants in DC.

Sure whole foods has some good stuff. i grant that. just no reason to buy everything there. unless all you buy is pesto shrimp, rare london broil, naked juices, lox, peanut butter etc.

btw, what is handmade sorbet? And do you really believe that anything mass marketed is handmade, unless by "hand" they include such mechanical devices as were displayed yesterday?

Soylent Green is people!
 

Cynic. Next you'll be telling us that big agribusiness is lobbying to weaken the standards for labelling food as "organic."

Shooting out the walls of heartache, bang-bang!
 

Your eyes touch me physically.

The Apprentice LA
 

Who said that they buy everything there? I'd never allow their unprocessed-hemp-based-all-natural toilet paper to touch my tender behind or their environmentally-friendly-tastes-like-bark toothpaste to touch my pearly whites. Thankfully SavOn has me covered with all the lotion-infused-unnatural-bad-for-the-envoronment paper, toiletry and cleaning products I could ever desire. And cheap beer and liquor. Oh, I think i covered that already.

Shooting out the walls of heartache, bang-bang!
 

Really? Do you admire my spirit?
