     It could be worse, there could be people who subscribe to this list

     Well let's see, I guess you're in your early 20s--wait till you're 
     older and more jaded, you won't find this hard to believe at all.  
     Just think, for example, of suburbanite yups buying 4-wheel drive 
     swamp buggies to go to the office and the B&N. . .
