Fun at Publix Grocery

We discovered a new Publix grocery store in our area with a lot of variety we have not seen since California, or never seen in person. We had fun.


Turkish Delight - Full of Eastern Promise! LOL.


Jammie Dodgers! I have heard about them in many a UK amusement. I want to say I heard of them on Doctor Who (I'm not thinking of jelly babies), but Michelle says it's the Louise Rennison books. I'm sure it comes from more than one source in my memory.


This horned melon does not look delicious. As a hunter-gatherer, I would not spot that and think "dinner?" unless I was very hungry. Which I would be.

Real Life Conversation #52

If you want this yard sale to be a success, you need to work on your pitch.

My pitch is great. Fast and low, right across home plate.

Uh-huh. How about that last girl? She's like twelve. She would have loved the Louise Rennison books you're selling.

Nah, she was with her grandma - did you notice that woman? Rennison titles would not fly.

Such as?

'Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging'.

Ok, sure, but-

Would 'I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God' be better?

Well...

How would granny feel about 'Knocked Out by my Nunga-Nungas'?

When you put it that way...

'Dancing in my Nuddy-Pants'?
'Startled by His Furry Shorts'?
'Love is a Many Trousered Thing'?

Stop! Okay! You made your point.

Thank you.
