As for me, my needs are few, and my desires
equally few but not necessarily the same or
even compatible.

Understood... and similar here, though probably not quite as minimal
as you.... :)

But when I want something, it's a dilly.

And how often obtainable...?

I don't keep track; doing so would be discomforting
and ultimately fruitless.

But sufficiently that it does happen from time to time, then...

American has come out with a new snack: Nakd Berry Delight,
which is essentially with the exception of 3% contamination
with raspberries a raw gluten-free dairy-free no added sugar
fruitcake with cashews, figs, and raisins. Kind of interesting.

Indeed interesting...

Though not poisonous interesting. Fruitcake gets
a bad rap, part of which may be undeserved.

I enjoy fruitcake on occasion, especially when there's more fruit and
nuts than binder... :)

Available only in first class, coach getting Biscoffs (good but unhealthy by anyone's standards) or pretzels (bad and unhealty).

Another perk of your exalted status.... ;)

I was going to say Lilli's, but in this case
I got it on my own. I can coattail only when
I'm on the same ticket.

And this time you weren't on the same ticket....

last" and in the fine print on the back, "Availability, selection and pricing may vary by Club or BJs.com. Items available only while supplies last." No waffles as to that not applying in some states....

That looks eminently fightable, especially given that
silence (as they don't want to trumpet out the eceptions).

I suspect they've researched it out, and made it relatively
unfightable... :) Maybe you can research that further.....

If it became relevant to me, perhaps. But in general,
I figure it's a bluff in the same way that many
copyright notices are.

I'm thinking that no one's calling that bluff, either...

... After all is said and done, a lot more has been said than done.

It may be better that way.

Sometimes, I suppose... ;)

people, who have long since despaired of finding
opiates, gold bars, or explosives on me, do an
especial scan for bak kwa.

I take it that that is another thing that would be confiscated

For sure. Customs is very strict - perhaps unduly
so - about meat importation (or smuggling). The
standard response given by the front-line agents
apparently is "mad cow disease." It is said not
to be an adequate rebuttal to point out that the
meat in question is not bovine.

Maybe they fear that it could spread to other four-footeds...?

did they find it on you....?

Course not. I skirt the edge of rules sometimes,
when it suits me, but never go directly against,
and further, catching me with this would be
cause to take away my privileges, which would
lose me perhaps two days (i.e., 48 hours) over
the course of a year.

That was meant to be not a question if it had happened, but in the
chance that it might have happened would that have caused
confiscation.... So you'd just make sure that they didn't find it on
you...

So no chance that you'd bring any home for echoites to try....? ;)

Nope, unless you want to make it.

I was going to suggest you make it... ;)

ttyl neb

... I like the word "indolence." It makes my laziness seem classy.
