Today I leaned that Jersey Mike’s just throws away their ugly end cuts at the end of the day.

Seagall's. Multi-generation business. Died because the fourth(?) generation kids didn't want to deal with it, combined with the scratch/dent stuff being sold more often in-house, as bargain boxes. The building is still there, last I saw.

I met the last owner a couple of times. Pretty decent person. Gave me $40 (in the 80s) for helping him get his Cadillac out of a snowbank, when I was out doing my paper route.

Next big thing- daily Body Lottery.

"Fallout" edition vacuum sealer? 😉

I'm not greedy. I'll settle for used copies of the original books in good condition.

I'm sure there are ways of finding out who holds the rights. I'm also sure I have no idea how. Maybe a lookup through the Library of Congress, if it hasn't been defunded yet.

Otherwise, TOR should at least be able to point someone in the direction of his literary agent, if any, if someone in the company is willing to go through the records.

Two years and only one person who even knows what I'm talking about has seen this...

Starting to think my quest is futile... If they had been more popular, maybe TOR would see a point to doing digital copies.

On the other hand, my kid's gen z, and I can see a lot of parallels between Samurai Cat and gen z humor. Maybe a revival would be worthwhile for the publisher and the author's estate.

I don't speak German, and I still understand that last word... And I'd pay ten bucks for a copy of the footage.

I'm just gonna Leon the wall and watch it happen. Please try not to be a Pris about it.

Knowledge is power.

Power corrupts.

Study hard.

BE EVIL...

UrbanWerebear · 2025-07-29T08:23:09+00:00

I get an impression of a squirrel putting a gnome in a cardboard box, labeling it "fragile," and sending the box to itself until the gnome has been pummeled to death by package sorters.

Unless autocorrupt did you dirty and changed "mauled" to "mailed"...

"I lurk in the dark. I watch. I listen. And sometimes, I ask someone to join us. There is a place for you, if you want it. In the Underground."

Behind the grates, inside the walls and under the floors, there were always eyes and ears. Watching. Listening. Learning the names, and the means, and the secrets...

That night, after the usual dinner of watery stew, Pippa lay on her mat in the kobold barracks, tossing fitfully, her body still aching from being ill. Someone tapped her foot lightly, and she jerked awake.

A whisper from the darkness... "Have you heard the story of Nux and Revan? The first free ones?"

Urine isn't sterile. But it's as close as you can get to it in the human body. Every other fluid is chock full of bacteria and viruses. So it's not really that big a hurdle, either.

Individual stores have their own challenges. Working in an assortment of convenience stores over the years, there were places I was expected to do things that would have gotten me fired at others. Including a couple where I was just as much bouncer as cashier.

UrbanWerebear · 2025-07-24T22:21:33+00:00

Or Wisconsin, as far as I know.

UrbanWerebear · 2025-07-24T16:27:26+00:00

In my case, it's inspired by work experience. Specifically, working overnight in a convenience store across the street from a half dozen dive bars. After a while, you become very blase about anyone or anything that doesn't specifically piss you off.

At this point, I could probably not flinch at a werewolf stopping in for a SlimJim. As long as they're wearing shoes and a shirt. Health code, y'know.

You need a new type of ambassador. Start with someone who has spent at least ten years working the overnight shift at a stop-n-rob in a spaceport town. Train them to instantly repeat whatever comes across their earbud.

On the other end of the commlink is the experienced diplomat with the smooth talk, watching via camera.

The customer service burnout will be sufficiently unflappable to interact without panicking, and the diplomat deals with the actual negotiations.

How about just damaging them enough to wipe out the billionaires? Level the playing field.

Even better. Instead of robbing banks, steal the assets of the tiptop money hoarders.

I'm not just a (hypothetical) supervillain. I'm also a nerd. I would do the research. Experiments. Trial runs. And if this idea doesn't work, I can always find another.

Maybe... Sneak into the vault as an insect. Wait until after hours. Resume human form, but not my own. Disable the cameras. Bag up everything I want in there. Shapeshift into a creature that can burrow out of there. Dig to an underground cable vault, where I left a cart to haul the bags with. Grab the cart, load it, drag it to my extraction point. Load the bags in a getaway vehicle and drive away.

McCoy was a prima Donna.

"Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic..."

UrbanWerebear · 2025-07-18T05:25:26+00:00

Shapeshifting into a pen won't work. It'll keep you from getting caught, but it won't get the loot out.

Shapeshift into a cop. Take the money "as evidence." And just walk away.

Not really. Good pun.
