The product photos used throughout the site are pretty obviously from 1979 and I love them.

NYC unlimited use 30-day card just went up to $104 and we are collectively outraged but it sounds like NYC transit is the best deal out of all this deals...not counting distance traveled, extent of system, etc, cos I don't know how spread out other cities' systems are.
In Chicago, a 30-day unlimited pass for the city's transit system is $86 (and that's after a recent fair increase). The price I mentioned above is for regional commuter rail. Outrage = justified.

I was so disappointed with Crabbie's Ginger Beer. I love ginger beer and like to put whisky or vodka in it so alcoholic ginger beer sounds amazing. But it tastes like crap.

Ooohhh Jenny, okay! Didn't understand the diff. Commuter rail here is obscene.

Also that regional ticket cost is for if you're riding every day from, like, Kenosha. From the nearest 'burb it's under $100/month.
(Dark rum is also really good in ginger beer, FYI.)

Also, and I'll quit braggin' 2011 after this one, but the city's transit fare is the same no matter where you travel w/in the system. So I can go from Evanston down to 95th for the same price I can go a half mile from my house to the site of the future Trader Joe's.
Huh. As much as I complain about the CTA, it's pretty cheap.

Also the buses are actually an option, from what I remember.

OMG at that rug website. I grew up in a house where a white flokati rug with a glass and chrome round coffee table was the centerpiece of our living room no matter where we lived.

Doesn't this completely defeat the point? Why not just get some Old Jamaica Ginger Beer and add whisk(e)y to it? Costs a lot less, tastes WAY better.

They are vital.

ginger beer's expensive over here anyway tbh, the difference isnt huge.
― all i gotta do is akh nachivly (darraghmac), Friday, 7 January 2011 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Fair enough then, it's about 50p a can here.
― a fucking stove just fell on my foot. (Colonel Poo), Friday, 7 January 2011 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link
holy shit, no. As a mixer in a bar here you're talking prob near enough two quid. Crabbes bottle much bigger too.
― all i gotta do is akh nachivly (darraghmac), Friday, 7 January 2011 15:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, in a bar it'd prob be more like £1.50, but Crabbie's is £4 so...
― a fucking stove just fell on my foot. (Colonel Poo), Friday, 7 January 2011 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link
i must look further into this, you're clearly not letting it go.

Crabbes boozy ginger beer in shops goes for a song, it's totally the pubs ripping you off there. Might as well get yourself a pint and ginger wine chaser tbh.
― superpitching, Friday, 7 January 2011 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I dunno if it's me being pedantic or if you lot are talking about a different drink altogether, it's CrabbIe's not Crabbe's :)

The most expensive paper money can buy (and the accountants will approve) plus 12 rounds of color correction to print a final print run of maybe 3500 copies IF YOU'RE LUCKY that will never ever earn out the advance paid to the author even if you priced it at $150, which you can't because the market won't bear it. So you price it at $80 or something instead and hope for the most devoted devotees.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Saturday, 25 October 2014 20:54 (nine years ago) link
They are just really expensive to make and only purchased by a tiny fraction of customers so there's no volume to amortize the costs over.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Saturday, 25 October 2014 20:55 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I read this thing about Steidl and how a few evergreen sellers in their catalog (like Robert Frank's the Americans) basically subsidize every other photography book they put out
God bless 'em

what if it is trawler-sized, and what come tail-flickeringly from its dispensation outlet are correspondingly scaled-up so as to be sardine-sized
