Cupper cone?

So I heard on the radio that Frisco's city council has banned the plastic grocery bags from the city limits. I figure that, besides the issue of the SF government's priorities being so fuct and, well, typical, it's a good thing to ban the bags. They make quite a mess when they catch just a breath of wind and end up in a tree forever. Once, stepping out of Shanghai Kelly's on our way to chow down at Polkers, my brother and I spotted a pigeon flying (poorly) with a plastic grocery bag wrapped around a wing. Somehow this guy was able to get around with a deployed parachute dragging behind it. We chased the little fucker down and actually caught it, removed the bag, and let the flying rat go. I ain't no friend of pidgey-widgeys, but I don't like to see things in trouble. So yeah ... the bags are a blight.
Down here in LA, my little wife and I imposed our own ban on plastic grocery bags, opting for reusable canvas bags to haul grocerys from the Ralph's. Being renters and not being able to do really hardcore green things like installing solar panels or low wattage laundry equipment (we do have a clothesline (thank you Aunt Jenny)), we do little things like ride a bike to work and reuse canvas grocery bags. I didn't notice until last night, however, that old Ralph's actually gives me a "brought-his-own-bag" credit! Five cents! That's right, suckers, five goddang cents! At this rate, it'll be roughly 400 visits to the Ralph's before this bag has paid for itself. Hot damn!
