Snowpocalypse? In Philly? What does that mean, more than 1/2 inch? (/snark)

Yes dude; Philadelphians have become embarrassingly soft the last decade in this respect.

I just checked your forecast. You're gonna need a snowblower.

Darlene at 8:15am March 1
jason- remember the blizzard of 93 ? that was awesome- almost as good as the summer they didn't pick up trash!

You're starting to sound like my father, let's all rush out and buy milk and bread!!!

Totally, Jen. I'm off to the local smacme soon for our weekly food shopping, and I fully expect the masses to be buying their cake ingredients (milk, eggs, sugar, et al) for the impending lockdown the next several days! How are you Jen?! How many kids do you have, two? they're adorable!

French Toast, I meant; That's what my buddy Matt says: "every time there's a threat of even a dusting of snow, people are compelled to head to the store to get their ingredients to make French Toast: eggs, milk, bread..."

Bullshit, wheat pasta costing almost twice as much as non...

Use the right coupons, get what's on sale, use the recycable/our own bags... So much pressure...

Paper aisle... Slow, but smooth sailing...people seem relatively okay with "the end"...Nirvana's "in utero" playing (extraordinary and remarkably underrated record)

spacejace at 12:33pm March 1
Bullshit, organic, cage-free eggs are about twice as much as regular..

spacejace at 12:50pm March 1
So big dude slips, falls, waks his head on supermarket floor; I couldn't feel a pulse, head out front to recall 911 (is a joke in your town), just as EMT 's got here. So...where was I?.. Oh yeah, Ramen noodles...
