Are they cheaper than chicken?
I really like pork, but last time I checked it was >$3/lb at Aldis
has anything started to come down?
This is the best kind of gaining insurance: knowing that it will be easy to undo anything done.

Id say yes, conditionally. Giant eagle has sales where its like $1.29- $1.49 for like 10 lb. packs of chops & city chicken. You can get a years worth for like $50-60 if you catch a good sale.
Theres a Costco in the Waterfront too. I dont know how their prices roll though.

Has anything come down?

Not really.
Ive spent more time looking for things that havenāt gone up as much than things that I know are bonkers.
Basics like potatoes, pastas, carrots, broccoli etc. havent changed a whole lot.
Iām not what anybody would consider well off, and while Iāve felt some squeeze, Its not like life inhibiting.
Then again, I lived through the steel industry crash of late 70ās-early 80ās on turkey loaf and ramen noodles, so comfort levels may vary.
Peak Bono was when U2 shovelled their album onto everyoneās iphones, whether you wanted it or not, and then when people complained he was all āOh hey itās just the blood, sweat and tears of honest musicians, given to you for free out of the kindness and generosity of our hearts, if you donāt like it you can just delete it.ā
Right. He could also just break into your home and drop a giant turd on your living room carpet, and tell you its the honest product of his noble bowels, freely given out a spirit of sharing and caring, and if you donāt like it you can just clean it up.

Agreed, and the guitar player has the audacity to call himself āThe Edgeā.

Please continue. Why stop now, while youāre at it? Is there anyone else who deserve a spade in the face? 
The rest of U2 for a start.
Their latest āsongā sounds like a dozen cats being tortured in a country-and-western karaoke club while some Japanese hipster yells random words down a tin megaphone. Or is that Kanye?
Whatever, fuck it. Letās just hit Bono twice.

If we start hitting the other U2-members with spades, they may realize the bad company theyāre in (with Bono that is) - especially since Bono is frontman (and obviously the one to take the hit, supposedly/actually). Maybe (hopefully) they blame Bono for the spade, and take it out on him. With a little luck the band may then implode shortly. Question is whether Bono will resurrect or not? (What if he is here on Tnation? Bono, what do you think about all this? You have a lot to make up for, you sanctimonius smut twat!).
It would be interesting to dissect Metallica in a similar fashion as U2. I bet a bunch of people would love to hit Lars Ulrich with a spade. My argument here is that they may have BEEN good - but lost it along the way somehow. The āSome kind of monsterā movie kind of illustrates a band in a downward spiral.

They will say that we should be grateful for their presence to have grazed our spades.

I think Metallica started going down hill when Hetfield tried singing. He was much better at just yelling lyrics.
If I had to put my finger on exactly when they landed on Suck it would be right about at And Justice For All. Their sound changed. The music changed. They were no longer angry and agressive, and they arenāt very good imitators.
Then they did that thing with an orchestra. Thats the death knell of any good metal band.
Thats where the shovel should have gonged of of their faces like the opening of For Whom The Bell Tolls.
Eg.
This:
Thats a song you can charge into battle to. Kin to Iron Maidens Trooper. Just fucking bad assed, raw, ballsy agression.
To this:
āYeah, Let loose man!ā
Really? Thats a soyburger. And for some ungodly reason, thats the worst thing I can think of to say about anything right now.
Probably because I sorted through a few of those symphonic abominations.
I need to go listen to Born Of Fire now.
Edit:
There. Thats better. Music to savage the soothed soul.

Have you heard Metallica S&M? This is a pretty big confession but it may be in my top 20 albums.
Of course, thereās the biggest Metallica hit ever that nobody seems to talk aboutā¦

Oh man.
That defies description. Even the wife asked āWTF is that?!?ā.
Im legitimately flabbergasted, and experiencing a jumble of synesthesia from memories of different periods when everything smelling like incense, leather jackets and weed.
