  1. iOTW bucks are on their way through our encrypted iOTW cryptocurrency exchange. Don’t convert it to US dollars too quickly though, the value of these things is going to go through the roof.

  3. Yup! Little-Girl-with-Scrunched-Up-Nose wins again! Always the best stories! As for me, I just picked my home-grown bok choy, peas, chard and blueberries. No Cyclospora for ME! Say “NO” to germs. Grow your own!

    ps What about a “Little-Girl-with-Scrunched-Up-Nose” naming contest?

  4. Hey Brad, that Drambouie you drink, I’ve tried it after reading that you like it. Do you drink it straight, on ice, with Scotch as a Rusty Nail? I’ve tried all of them, I guess it’s not my drink. But I bet it does kill a lot of germs though.

  5. Having a shot of liquor seems to work for killing some stomach bugs. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in Mexico but I would always take a shot of tequila before dinner, after dinner, and sometimes during dinner and very rarely suffered from montezumas revenge.

  7. When I think of Fresh Vegetables,
    I look by the gas pump at Kwik-Stop,
    Next to the used hypodermic needles
    and spilt benzine.

    The region: Kwik-Stop
    The cause: I’m eatin’ healthy tonight!

  8. Any precut veggy is suspect.
    I watched a group of Mexican pickers chopping broccoli when one of them turned around and pissed right in the field, then turned around and continued to cut and pack.
