 ML> Probably not, but Joue doesn't look townly (it means

 NB> You never know with towns...

I looked (on line) at the old London Gazetteer, and all
the Joue towns in it suffered from the typographical
deficiency of lacking that accent where it should have
been, but that was the fault of the English typesetters.

Admittedly, there is a town in some state I forget now,
having that newly shortened attention span, with the name
Shoulderblade, and if there isn't one called Bumcrack,
Nebraska, there should be.

 NB> there's some rather untownly names in central PA,

We're not going there. Apparently, at one point UDD did.

 NB> for example... or in the Old West...  :)

Show Low, AZ and Truth or Consequences, NM come to mind.

 ML> I figured as I'd actually paid money for insects a year ago
 ML> in Thailand, why not eat a couple of incidental ones here.
 NB> There is that.  ;)  Different insects, though... ;)

I've heard conflicting things about the taste of roach
- some claim that they are most foul, others that they
are no more disgusting than any other bug. The suspicion
is that they taste like what they eat. I would guess that
in a chocolate factory, they might not be so nasty as if
they were from a garbage dump.

 NB>> Seems to be a buyer beware sort of place now...
 ML> All groceries are buyer beware sorts of places. 
 NB> To one extent or another... some more than others... 

The good thing about Wegmans so far is that there seems
to be a commitment to transparency. Sure, a lot of things
cost a bit more, but you're assured of no shenanigans.

 NB> Daddy taught us to be discriminating shoppers, whether in the grocery
 NB> store, the 5 & 10, or the second-hand bookstore... partly by precept,
 NB> partly by example. ;) 

That's of course the best way, but there are many who
don't have the advantage of a good example at home and
who would benefit from being exposed to such concepts
in school.
