Best I've ever had too. I buy nothing else!

I suppose actually naming whatever you are trying to scare people about this
time would be too much to ask.

Any bakery selling their day old stuff is cutting into their fresh
baked goods business, and are thus kinda foolish. No bakery or donut
shop I ever worked at sold day old stuff for this reason.

My ex-boss once told me about meeting up with the homeless guy that hung around our office. The bakery next door had just thrown a bunch of baked goods into the dumpster and the guy had climbed into it and was having a good old time. He was just covered with pie and when he saw my boss he said with the biggest ****-eatting grin "Apple pie... It's delicious!" My boss didn'tsay that he gave a thumbs up but I like to imagine that he did. ✌

What about the nuclear power plant coolant which
is the main ingrediant in coffee and soda? It's
also used for reconstituting powdered milk and
from-concentrate orange juice for kids!

I first worked in the bakery at Venture stores, and the sweat bees out
at the dumpster knew me in the Summer, when I'd dump the trays of old
baked goods. They would fly all around me as I dumped the stuff out.
People would ask "Aren't you afraid you'll get stung?" and I'd say
"No, they know me and like me!" cause I swear they did!

Late in the donut shop when Bryan was in dire straits for whatever
reason, I'd put some old donuts in a box for him and set it on top of
the dumpster. No sense in making him dig for them!

That was nice of you. Dumpster doughnuts and punk rockers? Makes sense to me. :-)

What a nice guy. Being an angry punk guitarist never paid much, I guess.

BTW, I think that it's going to get a little crazy with the GG/Usenet
postings. It is my belief that the Usenet wars have just begun. Don't
blow a gasket. :-)

I'm with you. Bees are friendly and curious....no problem with them unless
you threaten them.

In the band I was in at the time, I didn't play guitar, though I did
use one to compose. I was more an angry punk vocalist. I never
played Rock'n Roll with the goal of making money. I went through this
time of craziness where I quit my job right at Thanksgiving, and spent
Dec '79-Feb '80 homeless and unemployed. It was a crazy thing to do.
One night I slept in the snow when it was well below zero F. I'm
lucky that I didn't die.

I hope all the fat in those donuts helped fuel your internal furnace
while you "slept in the snow when it was well below zero F". How "well
below zero F" was it? What kind of sleeping bag/additional insulation
did you have? I know it hardly ever gets that far below 0F in STL, so
I'm once again thinking you are aggrandizing yourself, Bryan. Was it
cold? I'm sure! Did you sleep in the snow? In some respect, I'm sure.
Was it "well below zero F"? Define well.

Actually it was Dec. '78-Feb '79, because it was the first of the 5
times I quit Venture. It got really cold that January.

I got into the northwest corner of where the kindergarten rooms were
at Watson School and I piled up snow on the other side to make sort of
an igloo to block the wind.
http://www.almanac.com/weather/histo...uis/1979-01-15
Very soon after that, I moved into "The Cave," which was what I called
the storage locker in Shira's apartment building basement. It had box
springs and mattresses stacked to about 15-16 inches from the
ceiling. The ceiling was way too low to roll over or sleep on my
side. I lived in there for several weeks, and on the day that Shira's
dad moved out, her mom invited me to move upstairs. By then I had
gone back to Venture, and could help with the rent.

-8F is NOT "way below zero F". It's significant, but =<-40F is IMHO
"way below".

And I don't think I was feeding you donuts then. I think I was still
working at Venture then, and living at my mommy and daddy's house.

To make money, you'd probably have to learn the rock classics from the
60's and 70's and maybe 80's. You just don't seem like the type... and
that's good. :-)

One thing's for sure, sleeping in the snow would pretty much mean
certain death for me. I guess our homeless folks here have it a whole
lot easier than yours.
