OMG. You're in Portland. Of course you are; how perfect!

Wait a minute! Why is that perfect? I shave my legs! Not as much as when I was in NYC, but still, I shave them. And I'll have you know I don't own any cosmetics made with hemp oil!

It's perfect 'cos you were describing this cheese guy and his book and his reading, and I was thinking "Wow, see, now that's one of the kinds of things I'm looking forward to when we're out in Seattle and vicinity from next month thru June; it sounds very Portland", and then…voila, Portland!

You shave your legs? Okeh. You have no hemp oil cosmetics? Okeh. But are you now or have you ever been in possession of a Subaru station wagon and/or a pair of Birkenstocks?

"But are you now or have you ever been in possession of a Subaru station wagon and/or a pair of Birkenstocks?" Are you trying to get me to unfriend you, asking shit like that?!!

Oh HELL, no! I've had some ugly footwear in my day, but I draw the line at Birkenstocks! And pretty much sandals of any sort. And I've never even owned a foreign car, let alone a fancy Subaru. I always buy cheap ass old American cars and drive them into the ground. Right now I'm the proud owner of a 1992 Chevy Van and a 1996 police model Crown Victoria. Both were purchased at state auctions and require Premium fuel to run well. I drive less than 3,000 miles a year though, so I sleep at night pretty well.

I like to blow my money on fancy dinners and expensive computer/film/art equipment, and I pay cash for shit so credit is out. The only nice new stuff I have ever owned came in as gifts from my first wedding. I always shop second-hand when possible. Hell, I even got husband #2 off Craigslist!

Well, lah-dee-dah, miss fancy-pants '90s cars! I'll see your Chevy van and your Ford Crown Victoria and raise you my 1973 Dodge Dart. Thpthpthpth.

(Wait, Birkenstocks are ugly? Even when I wear them with socks?)

No, they look really hot with socks, but only the black nylon kind that hit mid-calf, and only with really tight old man Dockers brand shorts, preferably in forest green!

Oh. So "nix" on my gargoyle socks, then?

My family's definition of a "new" car was getting one made in the same decade you were buying it in.
