So I'm looking at a lunch menu. Next to each item is a number. There's an 8 next to one, then a 12 by the next one, and a 17 on another one. I had never seen it before last week but now I've seen it twice. These were really trendy restaurants and those were prices. They have dispensed with cents and the psyche value of selling an item for $7.99. That $7.99 we used to see is now just 8. I don't mind this except that I'd like to see a few more 4s and 5s. The only ones I saw at those places were preceded by a 2. I think that 8 was for iced tea. Left and went to Subway. $6.29 for a nice hot roast beef, thankyouverymuch.

Quote from said blog: "well, as the late philip larkin once said, "i think a poet should be judged by what he does with his subjects, not by what his subjects are." with that in mind, which of these poets would you judge "less likely to make you totally vom"?"
$8 for an iced tea? I don't think so.
8 for an iced tea, Dave. It's a sure way to keep riff raff, like me, out of there. Probably keeps a few respectable folks out, too.
