You are driven in a black Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 to run down poor immigrant children, beggars and the general riff-raff while cigar smoke wreathes out of the back window.

Naked Lunch is significant only in that it provided the name for the seminal jazz/rock fusion band Steely Dan.

The John Birch Society? Good thing an unsuspecting African-American buyer didn't get the tie--it might have tried to hang him from a tree.

So I was at a conference in Bangkok the other week, hanging out with a British expat there and a super cute local girl who is a good friend of mine. She was lamenting how crap her life had become since dumping this Polish dude a couple months back. Her: ahh ****, maybe I should just go back to the Pole Mr Brit: I love it when Thai girls say that. She slapped him then

Manton, two comments:
1) Gorge too high to be considered 'conservative'
2) Tie clip.... ?

And who are you telling us how to dress conservatively... being a CAL grad and all.....
