Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

In NY, you won't be able to get Two Buck Chuck, though right-- because you can't sell wine in a grocery store.

They're going to have a seperate entrance for the wine store -- unlike the Whole Foods at Columbus Circle which had to close theirs.

I have been earwormed with the theme song for "Weeds" ever since the Golden Globes. I guess they played it when Mary Louise Parker won her award.

"... and they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same."

In Cambridge, there's a TJ's right by the big Whole Foods, in the same parking lot as my favorite computer/software store, MicroCenter. It's like one-stop (well, two, if I move the car from lot to lot) shopping for nerds like me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When you say "it's all uphill from here" are you meaning it's a good thing or a bad one? Is it about the easy trip or the vantage point of your destination? I just heard someone else flip flop between downhill and uphill, and I was wondering how clear it was.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"it's all uphill from here"

I don't think I've ever heard that exact phrase. I've heard "it's an uphill battle" (meaning, it's difficult), and "it's all downhill from here" (meaning, the hard part is over).

Oh my god, I want one of those.

Me too. I was surprised at how cheap they are.

The Bay in Halifax stocks other items made by this company, and I keep hoping that this will show up.

I like MicroCenter. They actually carry a good selection of parts and cables and such and some of their prices are decent. CompUSA is better located for me, but they value their cables too much and don't always carry simple parts. I remember going in CompUSA one time for a SATA drive cable and after looking in what seemed the logical place I had to ask someone only to learn they don't carry SATA cables at all and I was all WTF?

That's smart. I am surprised that they haven't done that here with Wegman's (our area giant grocery store), as I know they have a department dedicated to getting wine in the stores!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Agree with Jessica. It should be "it's all downhill from here" but actually I think that might be good or bad depending on the context. But I think the mixed metaphor with uphill battle means that "it's all uphill from here" is supposed to be pejorative.
