Chicken “paws”? I alway thought chicken had feet.  When did they become paws?

Fuck yeah!  Only 20 people in front of me at the deli.  (The board was at 55 when I first pulled my ticket.)

Transportation advocate Mark Chase has started a new Facebook group objecting to the market’s bike racks. 

“Do you get as mad as me every time you try to lock your bike up a the Market Basket in Somerville? … We have to put up with wheel-benders that you can’t properly lock a bike to,” Chase wrote on the group’s wall.

According to Chase, the standard for bike parking is to have two points of contact for each bike. If there’s just one point of contact, bikes tend to fall over…

First world problem? Maybe a little bit…but maybe the campaign will work.  On a bright note at least they have bike racks at all.

We were in Market Basket

  • Me: Do you guys carry banana leaves?
  • Employee 1: Nope...
  • Me: Alright. Thanks.
  • Employee 1: You can try Hannaford.
  • Me: Okay, thanks. -walks away-
  • Employee 2: You can't recommend the competitor.
  • Employee 1: I couldn't think of anything else...

  • FYMB Note--Pretty sure this was not the Chelsea Market Basket

Things that scared me as a child: Part 2.
When I was misbehaving in Market Basket, my mother would threaten the syrup aisle. If that didn’t work, she would take me to the lobster tank. 

That Mrs Butterworth’s is pretty terrifying.

The old store was demolished and they built a new one at the abandoned Ames store lot (Stuarts when I was a kid).
