Near-Championship Friday ES report, see man:

 

We had itineraried Many (2x2x2 +1) ESs, si man.

One had no parking nearby, down to Many (2x2x2) ESs man.

We added one, back up to Many (2x2x2 +1) ESs man.

Many (2x2x2) -- si man, Many (2x2x2) -- of these Many (2x2x2 +1) ESs yielded the take, see man:

 

 -- Loft bath towel, book = $Many ($2+1), steal man

 -- NIP box Kleenex = $1 + half a buck, deal man

 -- ~full bag pipe-cleaners = $1, deal man

 -- tupac Bounty paper towels, Many-pack ([2+2+2]-pack) Charmin, Many (2+1) thick 

          warshcloths, Many (toucans + onecan) peas, onecan tuna, onecan Progresso soup = 

          $Many-&-a-half ($2x2x2x2 + 1 + half a buck), deal man

 -- onecan lanolin shoe-spray, toucans Albacore tuna = $Many ($2+1), deal man

 -- toucans corn, Manycans (toucans + toucans) peas = $2, steal man

 -- Many (2+2+2) shirt-hangers, large BBQ spatula, large spoon = $2, steal man

 -- 2 NIP Kleenex, memo pad, hot dog microwave tray; Amway shampoo, conditioner, 

          bug spray, fabric spot-remover = $Many ($2x2x2x2 +2+2), steal man*

Total = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 -1)

 

*beloved-customer discount of $Many-&-a-half ($[2+2+2] + half a buck) off actual total, whee man

 

Upon our consideration, this ES take and satisfaction are probably second only to that of a couple of years ago where we found the 2 gigantic living-room chairs and theater-style sofa for only $Many00 including price/tax/delivery and we still had time afterward to continue our ES itinerary, unparalleled man.

Finally convinced MrChancy to go to Golden Corral with me last weekend.  He was reluctant, but I had been really curious about those steaks that people fight over -- https://www.today.com/food/news/golden-corral-fight-rcna14500

 

It was ok, but I don't think I'd go back there again.  Also, there was no steak.  Thankfully, there was no brawl (this time).
