The Pope's coming to town this weekend and for the past few month's Philadelphia's been preparing, fixing up subway stations and putting up "Watch out for Terrorists!" signs.  I've been preparing in my own way by stocking up on booze, toilet paper and scented candals.  I realized today it's the same way I prepare for a snow storm ( Read more... )

The scented candles go well with porta potties and toilet paper so you're in the right track.

I hadn't thought about that, but, yes, everything fits together. And I was thinking this morning I have to buy fresh fruit before the city is locked down on Friday. You know, fresh fruit for the fiber.

It all circles back to the shit.
