Georgia peaches? Cause they're the bomb.

yes all of our peaches in Munich come from Georgia...
they were either Italy or France

I'm not picky just as long as they are ridiculously ripe. Like water balloon ripe. My best peach eating experiences were with my grandmother in-law in China. Every time I eat peaches I'm reminded of her now. It was really messy because you dont eat the skin of fruits there for fear of chemicals. Juice up to the elbows.

Who is supposed to comment on posts like this when shaft.ed is the one who said it in the first place.

I've only ever had two martinis. A dirty one Brock made me and an appletini because it was Saint Patrick's Day and the bartender couldn't make any other green drinks.

I bet that bartender was a gay.

Dirty martinis are good but the thought of them makes me want to puke now.
but I love you still

I had a dirty martini in the vodka bar in Darwin. It serves things other than vodka but he didn't seem able to put in gin. Also he dumped about a litre of olive juice into it, and I it was the sweetest martini i've ever tasted.

I hate vodka bar.

Zydrate comes in a little glass vial.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

I will play in spite of your stupid coin comment. Having lived in a country with dollar coins, that's the worst proposal I've ever heard.

Walking around with a big pocket of change everyday gets old. How do you not know this already?

yeah but when you can actually buy stuff with the coins it makes more sense. The reason US coins are stupid to carry is because you need about a pound of them to pay for anything since 25 cents is the highest commonly used denomination. It's kinda cool to pay for your groceries with just the coins in your pocket.

Also US is pretty much all credit now so the real life money is pretty moot since most people pay for most things in plastic

which is entirely more convenient and cost-effective :P

I guess I found that having coin dollars basically resulted in me having an excessive amount of coin dollars and that's pretty much it. If I left the house and forgot to fill my pockets with change, I'd be spending $5, $10 and $20 bills all day and just end up with more coins. That's why I hate that system.

What is the purpose of having a penny? Be honest have you ever used 1 cent worth of money to buy something. Naturally it is used to "make change", and can be accumulated over time, but it still seems quite useless.

its certainly more ceonvenient. Cost effective no. Credit card companies are skimming a big chunk of money that has to be passed on to somebody

also why didnt you just keep coins in your pocket. If you dont build them up, then they dont get annoying. I only have a mass of them if i buy subway passes since they give change only in coin

Well, credit card usage fees are more of a legislative problem. I guess in theory they can be more cost-effective, but you're right that they are jabbing businesses on that.
