Money should go to people who have the good taste to spend it untackily.

1. I'm with you. Plus, Joe is his middle name. Sam is his first name.
Sammy Joe? C'mon. Who does that?

4. Looks like a MAN'S comfortable living room
Nothing the least tacky I see. The chair and sofa match, so do the tables. He got some personal photographs on the wall, and a torchiere lamp. I'd rather be a prole, than an elitist fucking snob. :puke:

6. Don't hold your breath, Midlo.
I'm pretty sure they don't sell them at WalMart.

8. I'm middle-aged, and have never owned my own couch.
Does this place me below or above Joe the Plumber? (I spend my money on esoteric audio and synthesis equipment; a couch would eat into my budget.)

10. I'm assuming you are kidding. Looks like an everyday pad to me.
A voter's taste in decorating is the least of my worries.

12. Marlboro Lights 100s? What is he, a sorority pledge? Real plumbers smoke Marlboro red box!


My one and only foray into cigarettes - I smoked a whole box of these one night in college, and never touched another cig.

14. Tons of cheap beer + tons of nicotine + inexperienced freshman = TMOAH
The Mother of All Hangovers. And a taste in my mouth like the floor of a subway car.

Only smoked that one night, and have been cig-free for the ensuing 23 years! Congrats on your 1.5 year achievement!
