Typo Boy, I really don't understand what you're arguing about, exactly. I assumed it was a given that any definition of class is dumb and arbitrary. All I was saying was that people's judgments about class are not strictly economic. Whether they should be is a meaningless question to me. This is something that only exists in a social context, so if it is believed by a lot of people... it is true.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I also wore a lot of peach in the 80's
My prom dress was peach. I loved it.
I'm a spring who can wear some autumn colors. My mom used to do everyone's colors back in the 80's. She always pulled me in so show springs. Right now, I'm wearing a light leaf green shirt that looks pretty good on me.

Huh, Rep. Ted Stevens of Alaska has just been indicted. No big surprise given his level of corruption and the charges that have been swirling around him for some time now, but he is the longest-serving member of the House (as well as the originator of the phrase "the Internet is a series of tubes").

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
he is the longest-serving member of the House
And has been involved in AK politics since before statehood. I, for one, am very happy to see the snake get caught for something.

You know what sounds good for lunch? Panera's Strawberry Poppyseed salad. I had it a couple days ago, and now want it again. Also, because I did a friend search on my email on facebook, I'm really hoping a blanket invite didn't go out to my contacts list. It said it canceled that option. Anyone here would be welcome but if it went to my old dept chair...oh God.

Have made it to final consideration stage at Google. Now I sit around waiting to answer any of my recruiter's questions and frantically e-mail all my references.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cool, shrift! My fingers are crossed for you. Tightly.

Rep. Ted Stevens
Isn't he also the guy who wouldn't back down on building the bridge o' pork, aka the bridge to nowhere?

Go Shrift! I have my fingers crossed for you.
This weekend at Lane Bryant I found a shirt in forest green. I babbled excitedly at the sales clerk about what a beautiful color it was and how happy I was to see something in that shade. She calmly replied, "Yes, we're starting to get the fall colors in."
Susan, the clerk was probably talking about "fall colors" in the context of what colors have been deemed "IN" for the fall 2008 fashion season. Most sales clerks have no idea of color groupings in terms of seasons.
