And the insufferable stewp (thicker than a soup, thinner than a stew).

There’s the tiniest greasy spoon cafe that I bike past. I’ve stopped in, but only when I want “2 eggs n toast” for two bucks. One way they keep their costs down is by not spending money on ingredients (the eggs n toast are from the Aldi) or heat, or a mop … or employees that give a shit.
But they suddenly put up a huge banner in the window with a web address. And just as I was puzzling who would take the time to type their name in a browser window, they added another banner: ***LIKE US! (On Face Book)! ***
Really? When no one actually LIKE s you in real life?
If you like them they might serve you real food. If I ever get in FB, not in the near future, I’m not liking any business that doesn’t give me something in return.
I feel so at home in the Pit

Hey, I, for one, appreciate the OPs redundant elucidation. I certainly wouldn’t have figured out that FTN stands for fuck that noise, at least not right away and while my first choice would be that he not abbreviate at all, abbreviating with a parenthetical explanation is preferable to a lone initialism.
Y’know, you could have simply written:
H,I,41,atOsre.Icwn’thfotFTNs4ftn,@lnra &wmfcwbthna@a,awapeip2ali.
&sate. (and saved all those electrons.)
