I went in to the shop this morning to tend to some things. Two characters strolled in with a glazed look in their eyes. They stunk of cigarettes and alcohol. They had a nice Louis Vuitton bag that would probably retail for about $1300. They wanted us to buy it for $200 cash. I refused. $150. Nope. $100. I won't buy it for a penny. Then the sobbing started--something to do with being desperate to get to a funeral in Vegas for momma after someone firebombed her car in Rogers Park. Yadda yadda yadda.

I finally got rid of them. Twenty minutes later a friend calls who owns another consignment shop nearby. Same situation, different sob story.

If there ever was a poster child for euthanasia, this was it. What a bunch of pos losers.

Not to mention I'm sure it was a fake LV bag.

My sales associate, who knows her stuff, said it was real. But fakes are a huge problem for the industry and a worry for me.

Crack hoes.

I look forward to an America in which can look beyond race, and proudly think of them as trash crack hoes, pure and simple.

But "White Trash" is an internationally recognized trademark of the lower class.

"White Trash" has much more brand equity. Think of how the term evokes visions of trailer parks, poor dental hygiene, rural accents, and provincial language.

And arguments. And "News of the Weird." And marriages with twelve-year-old first cousins.

"Hobo" conjures up rides on freight trains during the Great Depression.

For the record, I did not try to pawn my goods off on HJ and I don't have poor dental hygiene. I was a victim of a freak incident, swear.
