Not in Pittsburgh... the store around here sell you ramen for 35-50 cents. I'm used to the 10 cent variety, just pisses me off to get ramen for more than 30 cents...
just get a sandwich or chicken nuggets and fries without the drink...those value meals are a rip off. I can handle it Naykid, I already lived in Seattle for 3 years once
Any food banks where your at? The one's around here let you work for them for 4 hours and load you up with grocerys when your done (check the phone book). anyway there's lots of places that hand out grocerys if you're not too proud; Salvation army, st. Vincent de Pauls, most (non-catholic) churches. If there's any pizza places close by stop by one just before closing and ask if they have any pizza's they didn't sell (they usually do).
So far, nobody has been able to actually prove to me that there is another life for us after this one. But just for this thread...I'll say I want to come back as a radical rebel (hippie). Gee I guess it wouldn't be much different then this life,huh?
What about food for the rest of the week? man... I'm gonna grub out... I want chinese food, General Tso's and maybe some Chicken with Chinese Vegetables... There is this place here (actually about 5 restaurants here in Pitt) that has the best chinese food ever. The veggies are cooked but crisp, the sauces are delicious, and the meat, OMFG the meat is great. Their chicken is so tender, whether it be General Tso's (deep fried battered chicken), chicken with chinese vegetables (just thin slices of chicken that have been cooked somehow), or anything. Haven't actually tried their beef or pork (maybe pork, don't quite remember), but from the other stuff I have had of theirs, I know it must kick ass like jackie chan in traffic... I understand why this place won Best Chinese Restaraunt in pittsburgh for ?5 years in a row... damn that place is awesome... When I have money, I am gonna take my girlfriend to that place and eat.. or maybe take out so we can hang out and watch movies while we eat it... Ohh, funny thing, brain acting wierd today, gotta look up the spelling on lots of words... so I looked up restaraunt when I spelled it first at the top of the message (cuz it looks funny, although it is spelled correctly), and that fuckin' God character taunted me with this definition on m-w.com: Main Entry: Chinese restaurant syndrome Function: noun : a group of symptoms (as numbness of the neck, arms, and back with headache, dizziness, and palpitations) that is held to affect susceptible persons eating food and especially Chinese food heavily seasoned with monosodium glutamate I want chinese food!!! not the fucking definition of some syndrome you named after it!!! Actually, to tell the truth, I love it when the Godfather arranges coincidences like that... although I would love some chinese food too...
I'm kind of an expert at living for free. Still haven't figured out how to get free chinese though, although, strangley enough, I did last night; I was sitting under a tree smoking a cigerrette when a friend of mine who just got hired at the chinese resturant here walked up and handed me a batch of something I couldn't prenounce, but it was good and there was alot of it.
good suggestion, thanx... There are 3 huge churches across the street from my house. They each take up a city block. I don't know if I should go ask them for food or money though.. One of those on the corner. Basically described my block with the last 2 sentences... church across the street and a pizza shop on the corner.
Yeah, as long as you don't try to do stuff, God does it for you... pretty good arrangement. Although, sometimes it is fun to try (video games).... My ex roomie worked at a chinese place. Then my girlfriend moved in, he went to amsterdam and she took over his position with them. Got free chinese whenever she worked, and sometimes max would bring me somethin too... ahh, the days of chinese food...
Maybe try the pizza place just for the hell of it. I guess it would be a little weird doing it in your own hood though. Still, like I said, these places usually have a pizza or two left over from botched orders or what-not.
Also, fast food places usually throw away all their food every 3 or 4 hours (if it's precooked). Sometimes when I'm travelling I'll go to a fastfood place and try to figure out where the employees take their smoke breaks (look for the cigarrette butts) and I'll talk the next guy or girl to walk out for a smoke. At the least they'll usually tell you when they're getting ready to toss the next batch so you can catch them coming out the backdoor (this is sort of pre-dumpster diving).
I want to come back as a human, because that is really the only realm of living that would enable me to reach Nirvana.
