    • Those UFO catcher games are so dang hard. The claws are like wet noodles so even when you get something it just slips out before it can be dropped into the drop-hole-thingy.

    There's actually a way to game the system on those...the strength of the claw is handled internally, so every so often the claw suddenly becomes strong and catches whatever you're trying to get. If you really want to win you do something like watch the machine and learn when it changes strength, then play at the right time to win.

    But do you want the .50 toy that badly?

    24 hour shops! We go to them almost every day here. It's a college thing I guess.

    Our "corner store" is the convenience store on campus, and yes it is exorbitantly overpriced.

    Except at midnight when they sell hot dogs for a quarter.

    And you think your corner stores are expensive. Come to mine, where we have 30 dollar bottles of Olive Oil, for starters.

    Really, that's insane!!!
    Near to my house, is a 24 store, it's not too expensive, but neither is the cheapest place to buy stuff. At least you can buy two hot dogs and a Coke for $24 pesos (like two dollars).

    ...What. Is it olive oil made by the gods or something? o_o

    The corner stores around here are decently priced, I guess. I really only go to buy gum or pop and I hardly ever have to spend less than $5 so I'm good. :D
