Seriously, I don't see why I am unable to go to my local ALDI and purchase the whole Triumvirat back catalogue with food stamps. Makes no sense to me.

Thoughts?

Because ALDI doesn't carry name brands, you would have to buy Triumvimouse.

You might notice a difference, but your wife wouldn't.

You need CD stamps, not food stamps.

Clearly, you're part of the 47%. :roll ;)

I once ate a CD.

My intestines bleed for days. Bloody stool went everywhere. I even vomited through out the night. Later, I got a massive infection. The doctors had to remove most of my large intestine, spleen, colon, gallbladder, left fibula, esophagus, tongue, a lung, and half my liver. Strangely, I can now see inferred light and when I blink cats run away from me. Sometimes, I feel psychic too, but that usually passes when I change the colostomy bag.

Sounds like you got pretty close to the edge.

You're supposed to eat them while drinking Coke... helps the digestion, and helps disolving the outel label (btw, the jewel case is OK with ketchup, but I find mustard tastier).... but don't use the microwave: 15 mins in a cooking bath (don't unwrap it).... of course, if you're going to try this with the Bieber pizza topping, you'll still be in for a diarrhea

Interesting techniques. I did go about it plain...only slightly sauteed with a little bit of salt, pepper, and cumin. I tried to wash it down with microchips but the blood pouring out of my mouth was too much to swallow.

If my stomach ever feels better I will try the jewel case. I too am quite the mustard fan, so thanks for the tip. I was also thinking of trying casettes. Much smaller, and should go well with a dry cabernet or some instant dry concrete.

All joking aside, I understand the request...

Thirty years ago I was at teacher's college in the middle of the worst year in my life. I had been living for 2 months on powdered chicken soup mix and whatever anyone threw in the pot for me. I talked to a friend from home for an hour on the phone. He could tell I was in a bad place. He wrote a letter and in it he put a gift certificate for the big record chain in Canada. His note said that he thought about putting money in the envelope but I would waste it on something like food and I needed something for my soul. I ended getting "Body and Soul" by Joe Jackson. That recording still have great meaning for me today.

CDs with food stamps? The request is valid in my books...

well it's better to be able to buy records with food stamps, than to download music illegally, right?

Yeah, women get almost as turned on by food stamps as they do from King Crimson's "Thrakattak."


but don't use the microwave
I did actually microwave a CD once. You get real pretty multi-colored flames, if you can stand the smell.

but isn't Triumvirat considered a generic knock-off with ELP being the name brand? then they should have it at ALDI, probably could find you some Starcastle too.
