The suspect told police he was seeking money to pay his probation fee for a previous robbery conviction.

Putting aside the fact that your buddy Jen's message which you quoted was not criticizing your lifestyle (nor was the post from me that she quoted), this rant has a real "Doth protest too much" vibe to it, especially considering how many times we've heard it.

Those folks (or their early '80s equivalents - when I delivered pizzas as a college student) were the worst tippers. The best tippers?

It's kind of a rinky-dink recording (in a modern sense, not in the charming lo-fi sense) so it probably doesn't sound as good as it could. Martin's vocals don't have quite the sparkle they used to (maybe it's the recording) and the drummer is overplaying a bit, but, man, it is definitely The Chills! It reminds me most of the early Chills--the songs would all fit nicely on the Kaleidescope World collection. It's available through the web site at www.softbomb.com and it's shipped in a terrifying, but ingenious envelope! I was sure it would be in ten pieces when I opened it up, but it was fine.

I want an Eddie Bauer edition with the leather (oooh, leather, it makes me feel so butch) interior and one of those prefab houses (in the *right* school district of course) with the fake Charleston window in the front.

There are LOTS of SUV drivers, but few latte-sippers. Actually, the best tippers for me are Mexican immigrants that live in the trailer park and the run-down '70s apartments in my delivery area. I suppose it is because they tend to live several to a trailer or apartment, so their rent expense is cheap, and they work lots of jobs elitist, public radio volunteerin' chunkybutts that live with their mom like myself won't work. - --Mark S. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 21:39:47 EDT From: LkDylaninthmvies@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] non-ME!!! post (just kidding) In a message dated 10/18/04 9:34:51 PM Eastern Daylight Time, sleeveless@zoominternet.net writes: > What is that, and more importantly, what does it mean? > > J > It's an upper middle class status symbol...it means you live in Gower Estates, and your children, whom you dress like a Ralph Lauren ad, are on their swim team.
