They’re both…good…but not quite what I was hoping for. I really wanted a good deli-style pickle—the kind you find at local sub shops (DiBella’s, I miss you! /sob).

So now I have two nearly full jars of fermented pickles sitting in my fridge. You said, “I’ll hunt them down”—well, I don’t know where you are, but I live in Seattle….

I think that today you could put together a bike with zero Shimano parts if you wanted … but you really have to be making an effort to avoid them. They have more or less a monopoly in mountain bike parts…

Nah, now that SRAM owns RockShox and Truvativ, it makes everything Shimano does and then some.

I like SRAM chains for the PowerLink and Shimano for cheap but good bottom brackets that are compatible with, say, Race Face cranks.

But yes, if I had my choice, original Huggies rock. I HATE the Costco wipes.

Oh — except baby wipes. Huggies original scent baby wipes are the only ones that don’t smell horrible to me. In a pinch, I can stomach the lightly scented “natural care” Huggies, but no others, especially not the herbals (I swear mango-cucumber is the most nauseating scents ever when combined with poop).

What kind of an idiot is that loyal to such a crappy fast food restaurant that they’d get a tattoo of it? Hilarious.

Whoa there, Rusty. Popeye’s isn’t crappy. It’s good.

Susan,
Or the opposite. I see it as all the mom & pop businesses are all getting pushed out or bought out by the big brands that there will be less and less choice, forcing everyone to have to choose among the big boys.
