For those not knowing what Andy is referring to, TGT is set in a Staples store in Vancouver. When I used to sub, without fail, the kids would ask me if I owned Staples. Yeah kids, I just do this for fun (although I do love teaching--and subbing was so easy as someone else has to do all the planning and grading). Never mind I drive around in a Suzuki Swift that bellows blue smoke when I start it up (used to embarrass the hell outta me when I was in student teaching at that snotty elementary school parked next to Jaguars and Mercedes--women who lived off their husband's salaries and taught to fund their Coach handbag addictions and have "mad" money) and has no struts--it's all just for the stuggling guy image I'm working. (Jen, remember in spring of '05 when I called you coming back from my Aunt's funeral in Tennessee driving on Interstate 40 in the mountains with no struts and almost wrecking? Scaywey-swaywey.).

Yeah, and maybe it wouldn't have been quite so scary if you hadn't been TALKING ON THE DAMN PHONE at the time. I do not approve of people talking on the phone while driving.
