Video of the former here.
In (potentially) related news, the watermelon I just picked up at Safeway cost me $43.99—though to be fair, it was a seedless, and it was well in excess of 6 lbs. So, you know, there’s no use getting too alarmist, I suppose…
Jeff, are you running for President this time?
Sinsemilla melon.
Sure, I’ll run.
But only if I can debate in a bathrobe and call Shep Smith “Stacy.”
Hmm.
1. I slept through the election, Tancredo won, all the migrant farm workers were deported, and melons cost $7/lb.
2. Jeff’s in Japan, and melons can cost $7/lb easy.
3. Jeff got taken.
Hell at $7.00 a LB I’ll start picking melons. You know the fresh air and all..
After Shep’s Katrina Koverage, he deserves any abuse you can heap upon him.
Not a minute too soon; only 658 days until the election.
Good to have you back, my son. The interval was, well, ‘interesting’. Kinda like the fruit salad table at a church potluck. What IS that shit floating there in the Jello Mould?
Jeff,
I think your worries aren’t warranted. Should the ice-storms continue to pelt America, watermelons and oranges and grapefruits will be rare delicacies and cost $50 bucks a pop. No “undocumented” workers needed.
It will be like Little House on the Prairie. For Christmas, we’ll get an orange in our stocking–but only if we’re good.
Well, you could have woken up in Cali where you’ll pay 59 cents a pound for that watermelon but you’ll pay $1800/mo for health insurance for you and your kids because Gov. Arnold has deemed you rich enough to pay for the illegal kids health insurance too
though, to even get a doctor’s appointment you’ve got to travel to Arizona …
Gee, thanks Bane.
Walnuts.
I’d swear I saw Ted Kennedy do that.
I like waffles.
$44 for a watermellon. Good God, man, Have you lost your mind? What is wrong with canned peaches?
Warm it in the microwave be generous with the KY and you can bang it as many times as you want too.
Did you hear that United Airlines is eliminating snacks from flights less than 2 hours? This will save the company a whole $650,000 per year. Oh, and 80% of UA’s flights are two hours or less. $650k is a lot to you and me I’ll grant you. However, to a company with multi-billion dollars in gross revenue it’s ironically peanuts. Hell the bonus’ of the executives at UA are 5x that amount. Pissing off your customers to save $650k is idiotic for a company of that size. I dare to say they spend more on condiments for their employee lunch rooms per year. What idiots, thank God Southwest now competes with those a holes at DIA now.
By the way, it’s near balmy weather here in Colorado today.
Glad to hear someone thinks that’s beef.
I wasn’t sure
Hey, I didn’t say it was BAD shit.
I like waffles.
Beck, you Belgian bastard! I know it was you that stole the maple syrup!
Darleen is right on.
Jeff, think again. Factor in the overwhelmed public schools, the overwhelmed hospitals, the cross border crime and drug smuggling, and the budding Latino/a versions of Deb Frisch and her ilk, and ask yourself again: Just how “cheap” is that produce, really???
I don’t know about melons, but the labor cost for a head of lettuce is only 10%.
