Dinner talk. What did you have for dinner today?

[regexcellent]

jesus christ for $4k I could buy a machine gun, no way I'm dropping that kind of cash on food of all things

[KrazyHorse]

I'm far less happy now than when I couldn't afford to eat more than once a day in my senior year of college.

[KrazyHorse]

You win; 650 for two is my record. I've done 500 for myself at a bar with work buddies.

oh come on
what about bar tab? i recall reading you dropped a few grand before

[KrazyHorse]

No, but 6 eggs, a quarter pound of cheddar cheese and 3 slices of bread could feed you for 1.25 a day in 2001

Don't think so, but might be forgetting a night when I bought all the drinks or something. I've had a group bar tab in the 5 figures, of course. But that was comped by work.

EDIT: My favorite work story is where a guy won 8k from a colleague, then burned all his winnings at the strip club.

My second favorite is the 10k poker hand I watched 5 weeks ago.

Holy ****, I'm not that short on cash. Actually I'm not short on cash at all I'm just cheap. But wow was ~$9 actually your weekly food budget?

[KrazyHorse]

Yes.

[KrazyHorse]

I've been poorer than 90% of north Americans will ever be, and richer than 99%. Richer is better, but the diff isn't as big as you think. And working 70 hours a week for years on end is worse than you think.

yikes that's crazy!
yeah i think i was recalling the group bar tab
when i read that, i felt compelled to go back to my old ways


also, $1.25 a day? damn

I dunno... I tend to think it sucks serious balls

I'm always amazed at people who go through such extremes. Being poor really scares the crap out of me sometimes.

I believe it. Also, you don't have to work that hard if you don't want to.

Also KH how were you not eligible for WIC or whatever canada has that is equivalent to US food stamps?

PS You went to McGill, right?
