I never thought of that! Next time I will certainly remember to leave that part out as it might make my protestations of poverty ring false.

We had no bikes but we did get to eat the dead animals that the richer poor kids, like pertermitted child, ran over with their bikes.

One year for christmas, I got a bike horn from a really nice colonel in the salvation army at the mission we lived in. I strapped it to my head with a piece of string I found at the garabage dump and pretended I was a bike. toot toot beep beep.

Dude! That was you? I remember you! We lived in the box next door to the mission. Remember - where you used to chase the rats out of the crack house!

Happy birthday, Tex Lex. Amd I won't even say fuck you, because your husband seems to have that covered.

For those who are keeping score, today is my Grandma's birthday. I don't think she cares whether anyone on an internet board wishes her a happy birthday though, as she does not own a computer.

Edited. Grammar.

My grandmother was so poor that she had to sell the rights to her birthday.

WOW!

Your grannie got a birthday she could sell.

(Note to Penske: real poor people have grannies, grandmas or, if Irish, nanas)

All I can say is that when switched to an unlisted number, and before I signed up for the various do not call lists, the volume of telemarketers calling dropped off.

Who cares about Robert Palmer and that other dead guy? Modigliani died yesterday!

Appeals Court Smiles on 'Do Not Call' List.

Let me guess. A unanimous three-judge panel will be overturned by a unanimous en banc panel.

Actually, I just made that part up. We were so poor we didn't have grandparents, thus I lacked the frame of reference as to what one would be called.

For your weekend reading pleasure, an article about our favorite protagonist, and the crappy actors and producers trying to bring him down.

This Plimpton Obituary contains the following quote from Plimpton about a conversation with George Bush while the election results were still pending: "He wanted to talk about Sidd Finch," Plimpton recalled. "I thought that was rather odd."

Only if they're in California.

Do you want a pick-up truck to go with that gun?
