I have completed my grapefruit. Everyone who dislikes these things is incorrect and untrustworthy. It was wondrous. But sweet. Thought about adding salt to tone that down.

You should always salt your grapefruit. Makes a difference for sure.

Get a white grapefruit. That'll give you the malt vinegar multi-orifice pucker you crave, sicko.

Grapefruit is excellent. I'm surprised you actually like it given your... "eccentric" food takes. Pink grapefruit though. No sugar, no salt, just straight citrus.

I would put a little sugar on grapefruit halves, but then I just started eating red ones like oranges. I do put a little salt on cantaloupe, got that from a grandmother.

Your grandmother is wisdom

Salt is sugar for the soul. Hardens the arteries too, makes them tough.

When I was a kid there was a pet store on Frankford Ave (I think it was around/near Cottman) that had a monkey (it was not for sale) and that thing was a god damn menace (I mean, I wouldn't want to stay in small enclosure either, but still).

When the shop was closing they were selling it for like $1000, wouldn't shock me if it ended up maiming someone.

Reminds of that woman years ago that got attacked by her friend's chimpanzee and had her face and fingers eaten off leaving her disfigured. Oprah exploited her on her show by bringing her on as a guest. I remember listening to Stern mock Oprah for it which was kind of ironic but I remember how the lady explained how the chimp had been aggressive towards her previously and one time grabbed her hair through his cage and was slamming her head back and forth against it like some wrestling steel cage match. Howard's comment was funny......"why the eff did you go back there???"

Speaking of pet stores, anyone remember The Frazier Zoo? That place ruled.

I do remember that one, got a cat there in the mid 90s. But this was like one of those really small stores that are like maybe 15 to 20 feet wide. It was closed by like late 80s.
