[Winston Smith]

Well Yes I do and I could be coerced to give it up for a small fee.

Why should I pay for something I can get for free?

Yes I think that may be too steep a gradient. Or it may be the very definition of said word. But mind you I break out in hives whenever a scienoweenie word pops up.

Anyone miss Schwartz's? Or the People Pickle?

 

[Winston Smith]

Though I was never there, how about the Armpit on Swann Street?

 

[Winston Smith]

The Maggie tree in front of 1812?

 

[Winston Smith]

I personally just loved running up and down the stairs, those swaying stairs.

You are getting senile.

 

[Mystic]

Well, maybe not senility, but clarity. After a while all that spam just leaves you--particularly Hubbard-entity implant stations.

 

[The Anabaptist Jacques]

Ah, it seems like only yesterday.

And you know what a rotten day yesterday was.

I don't miss Schwartz's. I liked the People Pickle. Great roast beef sandwiches.

After the first pay I ever got when I was on staff I followed Mystic and a few others to the cafateria place on Connecticut place. I think it was run by Marriott. I forget the name. It was good food relatively cheap.

I spent my whole week's pay on my first meal there.

Come to think of it, I spent a lot of my whole week's pay there for one meal.

I saved a little for the Coke machine in the hallway of 1810 and for a 25 cent of cheese crackers (6 to a pack) for the rest of the week.
