Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But, see, there's a perfect comeback for that! It's "THANKS! I grew them myself!"
Except that the entire street and everyone in every car is turning to look so they can judge for themselves, and I prefer not to have a couple of hundred strangers inviting themselves to peruse.
Steph, did you get the magic cards I sent in the mail? I probably should have gotten a track on it.
Oh! Yes, I did -- a couple of weeks ago, I think. (Maybe?) Thanks!
I am also a 20-something who does not shout insults out of my car window. Of course, I don't have a car.
Jess, we know the truth: if you DID have a car, you'd drive around insulting people's cooking. "You call THAT a roux??? Looks more like glue!!!"
The bonus is that it rhymes.
And she'd throw pickled radishes.
If they're not you just say, "I earned 'em myself!"
Right! Or "Thanks! I bought them with my own money!"

ah, therein lies the difference between you and me! (Not really!) Actually, if anyone noticed at all they'd probably just notice the ass-y car shouting guys.

Hee!
Steph, you realize that you are more than welcome to send Magic cards to the House O' Reason and ask for them to be signed, right?
The only thing I've ever yelled from a car window was "Cause you gots the flavah!"
set it off, set it off . . .
Weirdly, though, the book publishing thing has helped the self-image issues out a bit.
Well, the author photo suggests that you're one good designer dress away from '60s glamor. Say, the younger part of the set that Rosemary Murphy's character would hang around with about three years after Any Wednesday left off.

Well, it wasn't like I was all, "Must have cards signed by important Drawing Guy!" Mostly, I bought the Magic cards because they were in the $1 box at the cash register (sorry, Pete), and I figured if there were some Pete cards, then it would be fun to have them, because, well, I know Pete.
The signing was just one of those, "Hey, I'm going to Seattle soon; want me to take these for Pete to sign?" "Oh, yeah -- cool!" things.
If that makes ANY sense at all.
Steph, that makes perfect sense. I just figured I should point out that if you had your heart set on signed cards, you can just send them to him.
(Heh. I should make him sign the Vampire card of me, because that would be funny.)
When I was in high-school I had a car with a PA speaker under the hood. My friends and I said lots of silly and random things to strangers, but never insults. I can't quite comprehend why someone would do that. Of course I also don't understand why anyone would think wolf-whistles and shouts of "Hey, baby" from the window of a pick-up would be a turn-on.
