POPSNew "currency" big in US prisons
Mackerel is hot in prisons in the U.S., but not so much anywhere else, says Mark Muntz, president of Global Source, which imports fillets of the oily, dark-fleshed fish from Asian canneries. Mr. Muntz says he's tried marketing mackerel to discount retailers. "We've even tried 99-cent stores," he says. "It never has done very well at all, regardless of the retailer, but it's very popular in the prisons." Mr. Muntz says he sold more than $1 million of mackerel for federal prison commissaries last year. It accounted for about half his commissary sales, he says, outstripping the canned tuna, crab, chicken and oysters he offers. Unlike those more expensive delicacies, former prisoners say, the mack is a good stand-in for the greenback because each can (or pouch) costs about $1 and few -- other than weight-lifters craving protein -- want to eat it. So inmates stash macks in lockers provided by the prison and use them to buy goods, including illicit ones such as stolen food and home-br

POPSHousewarming The guests didn't think it very odd that thier hosts asked them to remove thier shoes before they came in. It was later, when they greeted Sally, who still had her shoes, and spoke animatedly about an embarassing foot condition, that they began to suspect something was amiss. On a beer run, suspicions were confirmed. Joan's Espadrilles were bobbing in marinade with a pair of sneakers in the fridge. Heavy hors d'oeuvres indeed...

POPS Shoe Trees, almost universl.. "Maybe what’s most interesting about these bits of folklore though isn’t that they exist, however, but that shoe-flinging isn’t limited to the U.S.–even though as best we can tell shoe trees are. In the Middle East, shoe-tossing or striking is a sign of extreme contempt, almost the exact opposite of the North American meaning, and shoefiti, a pair of old sneakers hanging off of power lines, are almost universal".

POPSRepublican Hypocrisy... again! Whether or not they got the $ amount right doesn't really matter... What matters is that if you believe the current republican presidential candidate is "less elitist" than the dem -- well, I have some swamp land I'd like to sell you.

POPSCigars Okay so i got my humidor in the mail today, (small 20 count). I followed Lopaka's humidor setup guide to season it. I had soaked the humidifier in pg solution and had it resting on a towel for a long while to make sure it wouldn't drip inside my humi. anyways when i opened the humi i checked the rh and found it to be a solid 90%. am i crazy or is this strange. i know the humi needs time to absorb the water, but that made me imagine it would be overly dry in the humidor until it was ready to rock. Prolly just being a paranoid noob, but what are you guys thoughts?
