I dig it too. I was disappointed by how quickly/hastily they wrapped up the season in the last episode though. :(

If you want company for the Marfa errand, I'm game.

In addition to those which are obvious, I especially like numbers: 5,12,& 14. Now you'll wish you had numbered them! (And PS, I didn't start with 0.)

* visit avery island

the boring and peremptory tour of the tabasco factory will deposit you in the gift shop. when you go to the counter, tell the cashier you want to buy some pepper mash. pepper mash. follow the person who comes to get you and behold all the awesomeness that was missing from the tour.

how did you learn this trick?

[diskothiq.livejournal.com]

my friend's law professor told him about it. of course this was long enough ago that the friend in question is now a fucking judge, so apologies if the trick no longer works. it worked the one time we tried it though!
