Food pedants aren’t gullible. They know full well water isn’t worth anything like the price it’s sold when it’s bottled. But they’re pedants: it’s their job to look sophisticated. They literally make a living out of talking bullcrap about food.

That’s why I said: if they want to pay silly money for water, they’re welcome to. What I oppose if ordinary people listening to them and getting taken for a ride next time they go out for dinner.

But I think reasonable people won’t fall for that one. It’s just too stupid on its face. And people who are too dumb to know water is just water, well… a fool and his money…

That’s a blatant scam for self-appointed restaurant critics and other food pedants.

Let them be scammed. Why not… I have nothing against taking money from fools, so long as they don’t convince reasonable people to do the same.

What a terrible, terrible country…

And that’s news?

I’m old enough to remember spotting Michael Jackson’s first album in an obscure record store in SF and wondering if this guy was any good, and I’ve always knows rich people pay less taxes than working stiffs. In fact, I’m almost certain that’s where the idiom to get stiffed comes from.

I also don’t remember a time when I haven’t thought the next time I come across a rich prick, if he’s enough of a prick, I might just slit his throat for the sheer satisfaction of doing it.
