-103.36 CHECKCARD 0926 LOBLAWS 4.2 TORONTO ON
Ryan and I have returned our credit cards to each other. As of now, our summer stunt if officially over. This is the second to last purchase he made with my card. But we both made one grand finale purchase before returning the cards. Posts about that will be coming soon. But for now, I will describe his penultimate purchase with my money, which took place at a Canadian supermarket chain apparently...

Ryan North had this stunning work of art framed, and paid for it with my money, as is the practice that is reasonable and customary among bros. It is a portrait of me, painted by my alt-universe Canadian bro, Michael Firman. (The alternate universe is the one where it’s possible to have more than one Canadian bro.)

This purchase was made 16 days ago. You will note I am still pretty far behind on recording Ryan’s purchases due to being an otherwise busy professional, and also due to GROSS NEGLIGENCE. It turns out that shenanigans require a major investment of not only monetary dollars, but also time and dedication??? I will be caught up soon though. You’ll find his next purchase pretty exciting,...

17 days ago, Ryan spent about a quarter of one of my Benjamin Franklins at Harvey’s | Canada’s Best Tasting Burger. Or a quarter of the Canadian equivalent of Ben Franklin, whoever that was. I did not learn about him in school, because in America, they don’t teach us about guys like that. Just go ahead and click that link to begin your journey into understanding this burger...

Ryan you are KILLING me with these international transaction fees. We did not factor this into account, I am going to be RUINED.

On 7/10, North texted me this photo: Which clearly was a boxed array of breaded miscellaneous organs, a cup of whipped macaroni, and a little thing of zesty guacamole, right? Think again. This is an order of fried chicken from Paulette’s Original Donuts and Chicken, Leslieville’s new house of indulgence. Judging from that Toronto Life article, Leslieville locals have gone completely berserk for...

I have fallen so far behind on reporting Ryan’s purchases, this is really embarrassing.
There are some real good ones cropping up on the bank statement too. But San Diego Comic Con has prevented me from blogging about them, as well as from performing even the basic functions of a standard human being.
It did give me the chance to buy more stuff with his card in a weird city though.
CHECKCARD CRITTER'S CASTLE TORONTO ON ON 07/06...
Ryan finally received my card in the mail. Let’s take a look at how he chose to break it in. This is a photo I received from him via text message on the same day of his first purchase, included only with the line “Beef Frittata With Vegetables Flavour”.
So the moment Ryan got his hands on my card, he took the most obvious course of action, which was to swing on down to...
Ryan received notice of this purchase I made at a Lowe’s Home Improvement store.
This was a really solid use of North’s bankroll. “Home improvement” was definitely what took place upon completing this transaction. What you need to realize is my old trash can was a total piece of shit. It was sort of mostly shattered, and barely holding together as a solid object. Recently...
STATUS
My credit card is currently in the mail, en route to the North household.
I have already spent about $26 of North’s money, spread across two different establishments.
