¡SPONCH! ---> new favorite word

smileysweetie June 6 2009, 04:05:15 UTC

My mom LOVES those Sponch cookies! True story. I'm not from Albuquerque, though.

love your icon. I'm Australian. Mind if I pinch it?

Surrrrre. Credit would be lovely, too. :)

It's from Flight of the Conchords, btdubs.

Hah! I've only not paid for the light-rail once because I have heard of coppers asking for your transfers. They don't do it very often, but if you get caught without a transfer they charge you almost two hundred bucks! I didn't pay once because I couldn't find change in my purse and I was SUPER worried that this was the one time I'd be asked!

krustad June 6 2009, 04:49:01 UTC

Yeah, the idea is that they check just often enough that it would cost you more to never buy a ticket and get caught every so often than to just buy the ticket every time.

bitchin' beaton icon, pal.

I love to say coppers. :)

i could really go for those marshmallow cookies right now...

elysesewell June 6 2009, 03:44:09 UTC

Marshmallows-on-a-biscuit doesn't seem that hot to me, but my mom says she loved them when she was a kid in Mexico.

They're the childhood dessert by excellence. That, and the Bimbo pieces of toast with buttery sugar on top.

elysesewell June 6 2009, 03:53:41 UTC

What is the Bimbo version of those things called? Gamesa? Ganesa? Gansita? I know the SPONCH is a knockoff but I can't remember the Bimbo name for the life of me.

Coco-malvavisco is not my style; I'm a Bimbuñuelo girl fo' sho'.

I am a Minneapolitan. I take the bus, unless I am going to the airport.

I love Sacajawea dollars, though.

haddayr June 6 2009, 03:36:43 UTC

Oh, why do we PAY.

Because cops charge you $80 if they catch you without a ticket. And you can't talk your way out of it.

bettybites June 6 2009, 03:41:06 UTC

I thought it was $180 for some reason.

rayjoy June 11 2009, 11:03:28 UTC

I also only took it to go to the airport. My friend got caught once - $180. I've also seen two people get caught. It's about 50 percent of the time too.

433 June 6 2009, 03:42:49 UTC

$175.

I see cops about half the time I ride it (I only ride it when I go to the airport, so about once every couple months).
