Maybe I will write more of a "Spicey Tan"

I hate beige!!! Victor is an old and valued poster here. Lora is relatively new (at least to me, but I've been gone for a while). It's obvious both have bit of fire in the belly, which is great (well, we knew that about Victor already). I know in the past I've been one to ruffle feathers on here, so I'm all for sticking to your guns and telling it like you see it. Some people have remarked that Lora seems "angry" but I see it more as being passionate (and I was certainly passionate when I was 19). And Victor, we know, has a tremendous bulls**t filter and can break things down to the elements. I have to agree with Victor that you don't post on here if you're looking for a chorus of approval. It's more fun to disagree than to agree here.

But anyway, ultimately, we know we're all nice people on here, right? At least the regulars. And the new regulars, too. So, let's take it from there.

Yes, let's!

Capt. Haddock's link to the preppy gangsta video = best laugh I've had in awhile! Priceless! Thanks for posting it.

I know guys like that...guys I went to college with. What's great about that video is the attention to detail...the pearl necklaces, the ten year old Saab convertible, the top-siders, the black lab. Excellent!

I think I was in that video.

Yes, and the lobster, chinos & Izod-type shirts! I used to know a few people who were the "real deal" but mostly I knew wannabes.

I found another one on TeaPartay.com

The first one is also here:
