- Sitting on the porch as the checkered people chase pills
- gloating over the assumption that one has more taste in
- music than any other person and that by limiting ones
- purchases in rather un-yuppie fashion to a meager four
- toady little disks one presumes to top some hypothetical
- quotient of qoolness all the while being lured into a false
- sense of superiority as Sony executives and Canadians laugh
- in hysterics at the ugly Americans. Was that four mr golf
- course home? You bought a cd player for four disks?
- Give Holtsinger a kiss for us won't you then Blarr.
