Well, I'm about to trade my little car for a jeep, 'cause I about trashed the car going off road with it. still, I'd prefer those folks with those machines to stay in the mall while I'm in the back country. > - -- like to brag about drinking chianti, but inwardly groan at the > thought of taking another sip of the caustic swill. Not me, I'll enjoy virtually anything made from grapes! I prefer Lagavulin though! > - -- were the first ones to rush out and join smoking clubs when the > cigar craze began. Hate to burst your bubble, but I did those before it was cool, and will even after the yuppies are dead and buried. > - -- subscribe to Scientific American, but can't even decipher the > table of contents. It makes a great coffee table item in their house. Buy it occasionally, but prefer to read the research papers direct from the Universities, via gopher. SA is a little to superficial for my tastes . . .eh! > - -- have a son named Cody and a daughter named Brianna. Cody has a > swimming coach, and Brianna takes interpretive tap lessons. Nah, just a couple of sons with common names like Jason and Christopher Robin. > - -- like to drop their Tai Chi lessons into conversations: "You > know, this morning I was on my way to the Starbucks kiosk right after > my Tai Chi, and..." Actually, I take Tai Chi in the evenings, because its beneficial to my health. Gave up on starbucks cause I hate poofta coffee, straight 60 weight for me please! > - -- enjoy the snobbery of having the smallest lens section in the > camera store. It makes me crazy!! > - -- wear pleated pants. But I'm dieting, and as soon as I loose 20 more pounds, I'll go back to the painted on look! > - -- ran out and got the same type of dog Alec Baldwin had in that > movie, but then told everyone they had theirs first. Who is Alec Baldwin, and what movie is this?? I've got a chow/lab/traveling-salesman mix and I'm getting an Akita pup shortly. > - -- join Classic Literature book clubs because they like to think the > postman will be impressed when he delivers their packages. No book clubs, no magazine subscriptions. Takes away my excuse to go into book stores!! > - -- still think it's hip to order quiche in a restaurant. Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese or Mex, thanks . . .omelets I pass on. > - -- like the security of never having to consider printing their own > pictures by themselves. Ever. Color and B&W darkroom for 12 years, will do all my own stuff thanx. > Source: J. L. Ruth > ********************************* >
