They sell Rao's-branded spaghetti sauce in the
supermarket. It costs about $10 a jar, about 3 times
what a decent jar of sauce costs. So you can look
at it two ways. Either you can get the Rao's experience
at home for $10, minus the over-the-hill mobster at
the next table. Or you can figure that Rao's is like
$10 spaghetti sauce: I don't care if it's flavored with
the finest tomatoes or even high-quality heroin, no
jarred supermarket sauce is worth 10 bucks.

I'm not so sure. Looking back on his posting, he also is advising
long sleeve shirts for hot weather riding - no doubt to hide the track
marks. Maybe he blames it on a "sun allergy" like Millar.

But the supermarkets, delis, drug stores and hardware stores where it
is sold, HAVE to carry it, Otherwise their garbage doesn't get
collected, shipments arrive late with boxes fallen off the truck,
maybe even a break-in or fire could happen. Pure coincidence, but it
could happen.

The sauce is three times better than average decent supermarket
spaghetti sauce. Only virgin olive oil. You better not disrespect
that pasta sauce. You'll eat it and like it.

It's true! Just last night, I was cooking up some
spaghetti bolognese, and suddenly there was
a knock on my door. There stood three large
men in tight buttoned up suits, who told me if I valued
my sauce, I was going to have to buy Parmesan
from them on a weekly basis.

Consider yourself lucky it wasn't the French mafia or you'd have had to
buy andouillette on a weekly basis.

Seems like you know Velvet Underground better than the Beatles. I bet
cocaine inflation matches tubular tyre inflation if the going rate was
$26.

The Velvet Underground was a better band than the Beatles.

They were a different kind of band than the Beatles and whether they were better
or not is hard to ascertain. I do think that Ringo is a better drummer than Mo Tucker
but what they played was just about perfect for their respective band.

I was at the airport a decade ago when some govt big shot threw out that
line to the girl at the check in. Obviously annoyed with his attitude, she
turned on her mike and said:

"May I have your attention please. We need your assistence. This man here
has forgotten who he is. If anyone knows him, please come to the podium,
now."

It was beyond priceless.
