I tried to buy a pack of American Spirit cigarettes at Whole Foods some years ago. Likely, the store was then called Fresh Fields. The chipper, well-groomed checkout clerk raised her eyebrows and said, “we don’t sell cigarettes here, this is a health food store!.” I retorted with something about the hypocrisy of selling eggs, but only soy-based mayonnaise, and asked her how healthy she thought a typical organic rib-eye steak was.

I didn’t get any closer to buying cigarettes with that argument, so I walked across the street to the gas station instead.

Peggy, the only thing I like more than you in that outfit is you out of it. Maplewood? Don’t you mean Maplesyrup?

I resent this consumer experience crap, I really do. “adequate”.. Wish one could saythe same for this blog. Alas, the word �crapulous�springs to mind instead.

It�s hard for me to remain within the constraints of bourgeois propriety, I�m sorry.

I went to a popular chain restaurant the other day. The waiter brought a cheeseburger and a cup of coffee, which turned out to be adequate. Remarkably, I could survey the restaurant parking from my booth. The place presented a combination of stillness and movement: while some cars, trucks and SUVs were moving in or out, others remained motionless for some time. In the end, I surprised myself by ordering a vanilla ice-cream.
