“Look,” said Spring, “Spam
sushi!” She was
pointing to some pictures
of Spam sushi on the computer screen.
Now, I like Spam. Don't knock it until you actually try it (and thousands
of Hawaians can't be wrong). And yes, I like rice (especially the white
rice at the local Spanish/Mexican/Cuban restaurant down the street).
But mixed together as sushi?
“Ah, no,” I said.
“But you like Spam.”
“Yes.”
“And you like rice, right?”
“Yes.”
“So?” She sat there next to me, giving me this don't tell me you
won't like this look.
“Not on your life.”
“Well, why not?”
“Because first you'll start me off with cooked Spam and rice,” I said.
“And then, you'll slip in raw Spam and get me used to that. And from there
I spiral downward, jonsing for the stuff, spending all my money to feed my
habit and then where will we be. Out on the street! That's
where!”
“So does that mean you're not buying it?”
“Not buying, not eating, not even considering it.”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
