All!</p><p>Actually I only went shopping after lunch, because the former <span
style="text-decoration: line-through;">CD-case</span> ice scraper of my dear friend <a
href="http://www.alphagemini.org/">Falko</a> just wasn&#8217;t up to the job of repeatedly removing the <span
style="text-decoration: line-through;">Arctic</span> Swiss nights remainder from his car and he wanted to buy a new one. Accidentally Migros isn&#8217;t the place to go for such needs, but the time spent wasn&#8217;t in vain after all.</p><p>While standing in line on the cashpoint, I realized that my former habits of buying gum wouldn&#8217;t concur with my habitual habitual consumption thereof.</p><p>For your better understanding I included all needed information in a gum-flow-chart:</p><p><a

class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-289" title="gum_flow_chart1" src="http://blog.dispatched.ch/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/gum_flow_chart1-212x300.png" alt="gum_flow_chart1" width="212" height="300" /></a></p><p>Not to forget the decadence-factor: Swiss prices(25CHF for gum)</p><p>Update: a co-worker and friend of mine wrote a spontaneous nice poem using all colorful flavors of Skai gum and gave me permission to publish it here. What I really like most about is that I just recently learned about the stylistic device <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeoteleuton">Homeoteleuton</a> &#8211; and she&#8217;s using it all the time. Incredible.</p><pre class="box" style="text-align: center;"><em>"Spearmint, coolmint or peppermint could all be a hint..
the detail might be found in the Fruit cocktail,
cinnamon is too common,
and if you feel like a bird
you might want to roost with the air boost,
let's chew Fantastic Berry and Cherry
and we will feel merry:-)"</em></pre>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://blog.dispatched.ch/2009/01/26/bought-some-gum-for-the-week-to-come/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
