By Not even protesters throwing crap on U.S. beef, has been able to slow the demand for the product:
Consumer demand is now sizzling, and experts are predicting a major market shakeup once imports begin to arrive in earnest.
Lotte Mart, the first of the big supermarkets to resume selling the meat, said its stock of 40 tons of chilled beef sold out on the second day Saturday at all its branches. At that rate, it expects to sell the remainder of its frozen U.S. beef by Tuesday morning. Market insiders attribute the higher than expected popularity to the price competitiveness of U.S. beef in comparison to its quality. In other words, it’s cheap and tasty.
The only people more upset about this than the protesting farmers, are the black market ajummas outside the USFK camps.

Yep the Commissary woman at Camp Stanley has a true sweet tooth….Each night she strolls into the PX were they all know her thus no ID checks are done and buys a shopping cart load of chocolate Kisses and then pays for them in the back of the store in the electronics section///////
My question is why does she not buy the candy in the Commissary? Answer: She is not authorized to shop in the Commissary…or the PX but they will let her get away with this for a cut of the profits

kingkitty,
I don't know why WordPress put it into moderation. It acts weird like that sometimes. At least it didn't put you into the Spam filter. I get about 500-700 Spam comments a day in the Spam filter. If you get put in there it is a hard to find legitimate comments.
