What would you know?  I thought you didn't watch TV.  While we're off the
topic, I just want to mention the Asrex Holdings ads again.

Okay OOTC:  On the subject of corner stores (otherwise known as yum-cha
dealers), the whole 6-month rule seems to have waned now.  There's at
least 4 within walking distance of my house and you're virtually
guaranteed a best price if you try them all.  Each of them have been there
for at least 3 years now.

I can remember 3 other ones in my area five years ago and they shut down,
but the whole thing seems to have stabilised now.

In fact, sutekh's guts come from one of them.
