Hard hard hard to pay back

Zincy, you clown!

b1-66er: I bought a shirt for mom's services next week...
SUPER HELPFUL Amazon suggested "you might like this too."
What the hell do they know about me that I don't?
 
b1-67er: Maybe you can accessorize with it.  It is funeral colors

66er: Ooh NOW I WANNA BUY IT.
It you buy a pound of zinc, I wonder if it automatically puts you on some kind of Snowden Watch List.
Like it's essentially a government bobber to see if they can get a strike.

D4rw1n: I have a pound of zinc in my bedroom right now. Hard to accessorize with though, because it is broken up into penny-sized chunks and is stored in a janky old box

66: Okay, I'll bite.
Why?

D4: Because every time I received a penny, in change over the last 40 years, I threw it in a box in my bedroom. And it's been about a decade since I took the box to a CoinStar. Hence, I have well over a pound of zinc all in very small pieces.
And all stylishly clad in copper
If that puts me on a government list, I've got a lot of company

66: "Match, D4rw1n•"

K: Yeah!
"Amanda Seyfried & Evan Rachel Wood Working on Thelma & Louise Musical"

D4rw1n: And there a lot to be said for a cheap domestic beer

Monopolized mutation

D4rw1n: Driscolls is marketing a new mutant strain of blueberry under the name "Sweetest Batch."  We've sampled several boxes over the last few months. They're moderately sweeter than the regular ones, which is fine. They're also freakishly large. Which is an okay trait up to a point.

That point was officially exceeded by today's batch, which included the big bulgy bastard pictured.

1. Mutant blueberries. 2. Normal-ish-sized blueberry. 3. House.

They're BIGGER THAN A DANG HOUSE

The lumpiness is the feature to emphasize, in my view. That's what crosses them over into a weird uncanny valley of the mutant produce world
