Euro-welfare Recips Make Spruce Goose

  1. It is often cited as a "social enterprise" of the European model, not merely interested in profits, but in public service and the welfare of its employees.

    That sort of thing may work for the Cheeseboard, a cooperative selling bread & cheese (quite yummy) in Berkeley. I mean, even if you wear beads and Bierkenstocks, and have Peace signs all over the place, how badly can you screw up a deli? But when it comes to building big Coanda stuff that flies in the air, well, you can't have hare-krisna-pinko-lefty-nanny-state-alan-alda-we-are-the-world types running the show, can you?

  2. The commies at Cheeseboard aren't stupid. Look at their prices.

  3. They must pay their tithe to Fidel, Hugo & Co?

  4. Actually, let me go grab a cheese-filled scone from there, it's not bad. But I'll draw the line at carrying a baguette under my arm, Pepe-like.

  5. Eating a scone is the gayest possible activity legal in public.

    JJ - unlike you, the rest of us insert the scone in our mouths.

  8. Yep. Cheeseboard pizza kicks ass. I missed porcini day. Thanks for the advice on scones. I thought them so unpalatable that inserting them rectally was the best way.

  9. Was just about to post that. My favorite line was 'my appetite was headed for the airport'.
